Vaalm righted himself and shook the stars out of his head.
"How humiliating..." he muttered, "I hope no one saw..." Then he noticed the blue mudokon had stopped and was facing him, in a fighting pose...a look of fear in her eyes.
So much for hiding... he thought, then addressed the mud.
"You do not need to fear me mudokon...I have fed last night and will not need to do so again until the night after tonight." Vaalm said as calmly as he could, "So I have no interest in harming you or anyone today. In fact it is only under...'unusual' circumstances that I am even about during the day."
