Malachi kept up his ridiculous act, staying interested in the squirrel. He listened carefully to what Terneus had to say and waited until him and his guards had fully departed before standing up. The governor wanted him caged and delivered to his state within three days. [i]That is most certainly not happening.[/i] He thought in disgust. Still, the action made him relive a fond memory. His son had wanted him to crawl around like this as he mounted him like a horse when he was young. He smiled a little to himself as he moved back to the others. 

He glanced at Kenia, [color=0072bc]"I thought he'd never leave." [/color]He sighed, running a hand through his messy blonde hair, [color=0072bc]"We all need to get cleaned up before we all actually contract diseases."[/color] Moving toward the inner part of the cave, he clapped his hands.[color=0072bc] "Come, humans. You can get off the dirty floor. I will cook you the meat and then I will show you to a spring you can clean yourselves."[/color] How much they had seen and heard was unknown to him. Kenia was sure to poke fun at what had just happened at the least and he mentally prepared himself. 

The squirrel meat had been tossed aside. Once he collected it all, he began to ponder the best way to cook it. Starting a fire would probably take some time and possibly alert others normally, but his light magic could be manipulated to be radiative enough to do the trick. He dangled the meat in his fingers in one hand and began to create a mild amount of light energy in the other, cooking the meat. Using magic came naturally to Malachi at this point in his life. Emotions he had buried were easy to resurface a little at a time.
