Hushed Willows sister of pearl

He jumped a little when Delight appeared from friggin' nowhere.  For a moment, Mali's concentration had been broken and he forgot all about his sister's scent.  He glowered at his father, starting to say something before he was interrupted and thus reminded what the hell was going on.

But then there was a response?  Maybe?  He was pretty sure!  Mali hopped forward in the direction he thought the voice came from (but could very well be completely off), yelling an echo of Delight, Where are you?!  Pause, look back to his dad, look back the direction he thought they were gonna go.  He wasn't dreaming, right?  Whatever direction Delight took off, Mali wouldn't be far behind.
