Kryschenn said something in Scotts Gaelic that common decency forbids to be translated. Well, if Venger attacked sooner, then he attacked sooner."And you're not supposed to choose sides," Kryschenn repeated, admiring the Lorekeeper's sneaky bravery. "Yet you seem to be anyway by giving us information first, which we didn't officially ask for. Keep it up, I like your style. The only part I don't like is that if Venger showed up and asked you directly if you knew where any parts of the staff were, you'd be obligated to tell him that you knew I had the orb."
Which was the truth as far as the Lorekeeper knew. Behind Zakiyah's back, Kryschenn turned to Cassandra and made a "zipped lips" gesture. She really had come to like Zak, and it doubled her respect to hear her freely admit how she could be forced to give away their plans. Kryschenn had been considering telling Zak what their next move was, but that was now out of the question.
Instead, they went to check on Terri and Cole. A few steps before entering the door, they heard a most welcome sound: Terri's voice! Cole had done it! The Dreamer had awakened!
Which meant only one thing. Before either Zak or Cassandra could ask why Iris was sounding so groggy, Kryschenn grabbed them each by the shoulder and jerked them out of the way, barely in time to avoid being run over by the Young Ones, who had just heard the news and had rushed to Terri's room to see for themselves that their friend was awake and well.
