Yammo reached over and pet Zumi's hair lightly. "Nothing as bad as your expression says you think," she assured her. "I'm not angry, and you're not in trouble, and nothing between us is going to change."
That seemed to calm Zumi a little, though not much, so Yammo kept petting her hair gently. "We just let Link escape yesterday sooner than we should've," she said. "'Cause the more I really sit and think about it, the more holes there are in our story that we'd be feeding to the queen. And by now, he might've said something that would make those holes more obvious and easier to spot. So we've got a little talking to do."
