She repeats the name, and the griffin’s pointed ears flatten.
Malik is ignoring Birdbrain’s behavior, being instead entirely focused on the opalescent red filly. He watches her look down at her feet, and then back toward where she’d been standing. Is she looking for something?
Yes, she tells him, and Malik - noticing the way she looks back and forth from blue eye to orange - very slowly changes their colors, first the green altering to blue and the orange fading to pink, before the pair of them settle on a dark shade of peach, with slitted pupils like those of a cat. She tells him of Deathbringer, her shadowwolf, and Malik’s peach-colored eyes go very wide.
He’s never heard of a wolf made of shadows.
Malik doesn’t notice when he loses her attention this time, because he’s also looking for the missing DeeBee. Should they try calling its name, he wonders? Or is that something best left to Maurtia, since she knows it best? He looks back at her, only to see she’s still looking around the Playground.
“Do you want help finding it?” Malik asks. “I could look from up in the sky?” To demonstrate, he shakes out a pair of long black wings that he hadn’t possessed a moment before. Their long feathers are as iridescent as those that adorn his neck and chest.
