The picture in Caspa's head, which had - like many of her ideas - fallen into the wasteland of not being explained well enough, was a manner of holding the fabric in such a way as to disguise Terra being beneath it. Then, she could drag the curtain along and Terra could use it as a cover to move to another point, where she could later pop out from mysteriously. If Caspa could hold the fabric up as she tugged at it enough to let Terra slip away behind, keeping very low, the effect might work. She had no way of knowing if they were on the same page or not, but the theories could only become reality through experimentation. And now, they were scientists as well as sneaks.

Caspa stood up at the same moment Terra crouched down, lifting her light body away from the curtain and backing up enough to pull it into her jaws. Then, sizing up the distance much more intently this time she bounded forwards, dragging a corner of it with her so that the curtain flared out in a wide arc and came billowing down over the prone coyote-cross. One corner was still clutched between her teeth, so the curtain would not fall entirely flat. Now, if Terra could get out from under it without making herself obvious, that would be a good start. Whether or not she'd made her intentions clear was by no means certain, but she didn't really care if they had their lines crossed - whatever happened next was bound to be illuminating in one way or another. Besides, she'd been trying to drape Terra in a curtain since she'd first seen her inside the closet. It was about time she succeeded in her pointless but amusing mission.
