Staying silent for a moment, I continued checking the remaining leaves on the branch I was on before turning around.
Looking downwards at the four girls, I contemplated my options.
Considering that this a new situation, as I had no idea what to do with this damn tree, their perspective and insight would be useful.
Lily was already suspicious of me due to my behavior thus far, so would it even hurt me if I made her more suspicious?
On the other hand, I could simply take the easy way out and spout some nonsense, as they would soon realize what I had when Liam, Kevin, and Zach returned.
But then, unlike me with my crow, they would have to wait an hour every time they tested something.
They would need to send the three boys out to confirm whether the loop ended and then wait for their response.
