Waterlily paused when Darin said to stay there. He seemed to be much more serious. She knelt down to the young air mahgisprit, looking over her hair curiously. Still, she gave Nel a calm, and hopefully reassuring, smile. "That's a neat trick, Nel. Now no one will know the difference." She glanced to where Darin and Marielle had gone, biting her lip worriedly, but then put on a much calmer face to look back at Nel. "How about we play another game? You and I will hide here somewhere, and see if any of the others can find us. Hide-and-go-seek, okay?" She suggested. This way, they'd be hidden if an enemy did come by, but that she could reveal herself when their group came back.

"But you have to be quiet, and try not to show yourself until I say so, okay? If they don't find us, I'll let you know so we can tell them they've lost the game. If they find you, though, they win. Doesn't that sound like fun, Nel?"
