Besides, I need a few minutes to find my bathing stuff anyway."<br/><br/>Pushing herself back from the table, she wriggles out of the chair and scoops up Crew. "I'll just wait in the room until you're ready, okay? Toodles!"<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~You're going to spy on them, aren't you?~</span>Crew asks once the duo reaches the hallway.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Spy on them? Crew dahling, what <span style="font-weight: bold">do</span> you mean?~</span>Brady's mental voice slips into a mimicry of Xali for a moment, though whether intentionally or not her psicrystal can't tell.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Brady, I know you. You've never missed a chance to have your nose wedged in someone else's business. And I know you're itching to find out what's going on between those two. So if you're about to get us both in trouble again...~</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Aw, c'mon, give me a little credit. I know better than to try and sneak around Kahmori, after that show in the fort. He'd sniff me out in a second. Besides, it's just a few minutes' conversation.~</span><br/><br/>Crew cocks his upper body at Brady.<span style="font-style: italic">~You mean you're really not going to spy on them in the bath?~</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Nope!~</span>Brady grins.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Well, that's a welcome surprise...~</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~I'm going to have you do it.~</span><br/><br/>Crew nearly stumbles off of Brady's shoulder in surprise.<span style="font-style: italic">~ME? Now, wait just a minute, Brady...~</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~But you're perfect for the job!~</span>Brady objects.<span style="font-style: italic">~You don't have any real scent to pick up on, and you're so tiny he'll never even see you!

The psicrystal flashes with an aurora of color, hitting every hue imaginable before gradually settling down into a sort of flecked brown with a few strands of red- a near perfect match to the surrounding wood, and a few stray locks of Brady's hair.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~See? You're like a little ninja now. They'll never see you coming. Now, here's what I want you to do...~</span><br/><br/>Crew sighs inwardly as Brady begins to give him an overview of her latest scheme.

It's all over now, really- all that remains to be seen is how much trouble they're going to end up in this time.
