“But my reputation, I’ll risk everything!”

He wasn’t going to budge. I could just tell, from how he looked down his long nose, to the way he shuffled his hooves.

I sighed, too loudly. The furless, two-legged creature froze, then darted into the bush.

The ‘man’ as Damian called it, was going to be someone else’s discovery.
