Farewell to the Shadows

Cicero paid little mind to the conversation the two adults had. He looked at Kove's tail, mesmerised, with his head tilted and a big smile on his face. His tongue lolled from the side of his mouth, making the boy look rather comical as he sat and stared. Occasionally he giggled to himself in a quiet, held back (for he knew his mother didn't like to be disturbed during an important conversation) "eeheehee" about one thing or another, though it was hard to tell from the outside what it was, exactly, that Cicero was so amused about.
