Her eyes widened slightly when she found S'ari, struck breathless by the sight of her! Candle's tail quickened behind her. She let out a little yip and tossed the lizard to the woman. For you!

Candle yipped again and whined, quizzical now. Did S'ari approve of her gift? She could find another lizard! Or a mouse!
