Hide and Sneak

When he was younger, Dez had been most interested in his own skills – where could he hide, what could he observe without being in turn observed. He'd been drawn to secrets then because knowing them meant he was better at the game than their keepers.

As he got older, the hide and sneak games turned more serious. San had told him the value of secrets, but he learned this was not just one of his parent's idiosyncrasies. The skills he'd taught himself had their own value too, and their own uses, and his mastery became a secret of his own.
