“Really. Now it's purple.”
Xor sighed. “Blending in is a lot harder than it looks. I'm glad it was you who saw me and
not a hungry bird. You see, I'm a bit color-blind.”
“What kind of lizard are you, anyway?” she asked.
“I'm Chameleon, mostly. I'm part dinosaur on my mother's side.”
“Part dinosaur ? That's impossible.”
“It's true!” Xor drew his little self up proudly. “For instance, my Aunt Vana is a Steganosaur-
us. She can hide anywhere, even on the back of a postage stamp.”
Laurie wasn't sure she believed Xor, but she didn't want to hurt the lizard's feelings.
“Maybe your aunt can teach you how to hide better.”
“I'd love that. But I don't know where she is. The last time I saw her, I didn't even see her!”
he said.
“But—”
Hey ,” Xor said, “why don't I come along with you ? If you can see me, maybe you'll be able
to see her, too.”
“I don't think—”
“It'll be fine! I know a lot about this place. I can show you around.”
“Well, okay. I can carry you in my pocket,” Laurie said. “Have you heard of Hamilton?”
“I don't know. Can you eat it?”
“Never mind. Let's go.”
