"Yeah, it's nothing," you say. "We should move on to the final wall."
You pick up your bucket of paint, and walk around the corner. This wall is not as long as the others, so you go an even 3 feet, and begin painting.
Blackfire and Raven hurry over, soon followed by Robin.
"Come on, you can tell me," Robin says. "If it's a secret, I won't tell."
"But the fact that it is a secret is why we can't tell you," you reply.
"Fine, fine," Robin says, returning to work.
Each stripe of color gets to about half complete when Robin asks again.
"What's the secret? I gotta know."
"No," Raven says, blushing. "It's... embarassing."
As Raven blushes brighter, the brushes tremble.
"Raven, what happened?" Robin asks more calmly.
You decide to speak up.
"When we found the Horbaloan," you begin.
"Saffire!" Raven grumbles.
"Before, we dug it out, Raven had tripped over the tail-horn. She fell into an embarassing position, and she just didn't want to say anything about it."
Raven looks at you with surprise, and Robin chuckles a bit.
"Raven, you didn't need to be embarassed, stuff like that happens sometimes."
Everyone finishes their stripes, and puts away their paint buckets.
