I nodded to Tobias and gave a "very funny" smirk to Kira, replying, "Don't be jealous just because you didn't think of a proper cover story first."
I gave a more serious look to my team mates and said, "I got a call from Dereck this morning. The Yeerks are planning something big soon. He doesn't have a time table yet. They're supposed to get more details tonight at the next Sharing meeting."
I saw a silhouette peek over the bowl and I gave a slight, "Aw, dammit," playing the part. The form came into view, it was Ax. He called out, "Good morning Prince Sean, are you not well?"
I rolled my eyes and said, "Hi Ax, no I'm not hurt. C'mon down here before you draw a crowd. If those stoners see you staring into this bowl, they may want to see what's so interesting."
Ax nodded wordlessly, he's become more used to Human mannerisms than when we first came upon him in the ocean, trapped in his Dome Ship. Ax is an Andalite, his real name is Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill. He's the brother of the Andalite that gave us this power to morph, Elfangor. As it turns out, Elfangor had been to Earth before that night he crashed at that construction site; because Elfangor is also the father of our friend Tobias. I know it sounds like some weird soap opera; but it's the truth.
Ax sat on the bowl's lip and slid down, sitting next to Dru. He smiled to the others and said, "Good morning. I apologize for my tardiness. I became confused between a skate park and state park. Many Humans I asked for directions told me to go many miles out of town."
