"I feel much better now. You must be a miraculous healer, O Great Kiya." I made myself weightless (hiccup) but Kiya had a firm grip on me. Warmly cradled in her arms, I felt like taking another nap, but I couldn't. I had an important clue to share with the group about our missing comrade, Viper.

I whispered to Kiya, "I found Viper's nametag. It fluttered down from the sky. I think maybe a group of ominous clouds might have kidnapped him and are planning something dastardly to do with him."

Not one to resist urges, I stuck my left thumb in my mouth and began innocently sucking on it.
