Cnebba ran off in search of the hiders, leaving Lčođern with a clever grin on her face. She had learned strategy, at least, from her days with Linduial.
Garmund looked at his sister. "You told him where they hid, didn't you?"
"I didn't tell. It was just a hint. Telling and hinting aren't the same."
Garmund was unconvinced. "Just see that you don't do any hinting again."
Lčođern giggled. She wouldn't. But she wanted to play with the new boy. And hinting was the quickest way to move the game along.
Both children looked eagerly for Cnebba's reappearance.
