Rander as a rule didn't talk very much. It was, in fact, a great privilege to you if he ever unveiled his feelings in front of you. Rander was a very solemn sort of fellow, and he was shy as well. Unless you really got to know him, you could not count on him speaking to you about anything. It was a little irritating, I must say, to the girls how little he talked.
"I didn't even know he had a voice!" Lilli muttered.
"Hush," Kumarain scolded her. "Don't say such things as that! You'll hurt his feelings and lose all hope of ever hearing him speak again, so hold your tongue."
The girls thought this was a bit of an overreaction, but still, they followed Kumarain's advice, and held their tongues. It was very soon time to pack up and leave the place that they were at, to head towards the Lamb. They had hoped very much that he could find a way to get them home, but apparently they had to save the world or something first. This was very frustrating, but all five of them trudged on until they came across a shining lake of sorts. It was one of the most beautiful things that they had ever seen.
"Wow," Lulu gasped as she looked at her reflection in the water. "Do you think we can drink it? I mean, do you think it would be helpful for us?" She leaned down towards the water to touch it but was stopped short by Kumarain.
"Wait!" she shouted. "Don't touch it! Looks can be deceiving, throw something in the water before deciding whether or not to drink it."
Lulu shrugged and broke a branch off of a nearby tree. She tossed it in the water and gasped at the result. The stick which was quite green inside as it had been alive, turned black and disappeared.
"Whoa!" Carol gasped. "Imagine what would've happened to you if you had touched the water, Lulu!"
Lulu just stared at where the stick had been and nodded her head numbly. She was bewildered by what had just happened to the point where she didn't notice that the others had disappeared.
