I pretended to mark a "[color:"yellow"]1[/color]" next to an "[color:"pink"]X[/color]" in my invisible book. I even pretended to have trouble getting my invisible pen to work. I must have appeared to be very convincing, because no one seemed to notice what I was doing -- it seemed so natural, I guess.

When I saw DQueene compare her signet ring to the painted coat of arms on the wall, I looked at the ring admiringly. It seemed like the appropriate thing to do.

"What a pretty ring. Can I have it?" I asked innocently. DQueene must have liked my appraisal, because she pretended to be offended by my request and hid the ring from me. She's sweet that way.

"Shall we continue on our way?" I asked, as I floated up to the top of the corridor to be at eye level with the rest of the group. Since no one objected, I led the way.

I assumed that the folks with the map would tell me if I was supposed to turn, so I headed straight ahead into the darkness. "Sure is dark in here, huh?" [color:"orange"]Thud![/color] "Ouch!"
