I love how this ghostwriter seems to nail down small moments of characterization.
After Tobias announces he'll go: Cassie first, with that look of tender knowing she reserves for moments of significance. I could tell she was proud of me. And worried. This image is very motherly. It's interesting because I think this was how Cassie should have been portrayed all the time. She feels for her friends in a very emotional mother-love kind of way and she's proud of them for what they're doing. She knows it has to be done, but she's grieving too. But there's something queen-like about her.
Rachel's eyes were different. Dark, almost stricken.
Marco sent an ironic bow in my direction. "You're right, Tobias. Don't you wish you weren't?" Jake made a face I see too often. It's a look of disgust. Disgust with himself. He hadn't wanted to single me out, make me go on what might be a suicidal mission. He'd waited till I could volunteer.
< Tobias is correct, > Ax said. < But the mission could last longer than two hours. To play the part convincingly - to make the Yeerks think you're an Andalite in morph - you will have to "demorph" to Andalite. >

GREAT reactions.
