Radae whirled around (which is harder than it looks in water) "Shade!" She lowered herself deeper into the shadowy depths to be sure he couldn't see a thing. "Actually, yes, we have missed you. I assume it would be too much to ask where you went and why?" She eyed him with such intense dislike and mistrust that he almost stepped back a pace. She gave him the impression that she knew what he was doing. Suddenly, Radae swung her head to one side and called, "It's alright, you can come out." Faye and Collette exited their hiding place, looking shamefaced. "We were absolutely silent," Collette protested, "How did you know we were here?" Radae smiled humorlessly. "It's a dragon thing."
