He heard footsteps, interrupting his train of thought. Lifting his nose to the ceiling, the Sadira peered at the woman climbing the stairs. He saw her around and knew who she was, but she did not seem to notice the youngest Sadira boy on the steps. Silvano sucked air into his lungs, holding onto his breath while he waited for Mati to pass by over him, completely unaware. She would take him back and he would lose the chance to romp around on his own. Flattening himself against the step as much as he could, the puppy stifled his whines. If he made no noise, he could pass for a lump of wood on the ground, right? Slowly, the Dreamer edged closer to the end of the second stair, planning on slipping down it once the woman passed by him.

But Silvano yelped suddenly, feeling himself plucked into the air. Oh no! He fell! But, he felt hands around him and his name rang in his ears. He flattened them against his head, shutting his eyes tight. Oh, he was about to get it. Someone saw him and pulled him from the staircase, and yelled to boot. Now they would know where he went. God, who was this insensitive person? Opening an eye a crack, he saw it was Cambria, and he squirmed in her grasp. Maybe she would let go if he moved enough. That sounded logical. "Lemme goooo," he whined, pressing his paws against her arm. "I can do iiiiit."

God, if they would just let him go, he would prove he could watch himself. He was big enough! "Cambi, pleaaaaaaaaaase?" he cried, squirming some more and adding a yelp here and there. "Cambiiii..." Silvano stilled, whining at his older sister. He looked so dejected; he had been caught, plain and simple. "Don't tell Mama..."
