He looked at the source of the sound and it was his father who was tapping with the tip of his tail. Then he gestured for him to come out. Mohammed jumped into a pool next to the bed with a passageway from under the water that led him out into the water in the same room.
Mohammed said Father youre in my room arent you?
The king smiled and said Yes and this passage is behind the bed. Did you think I didnt know about it young one?
Mohammed ran his hand through his hair smiled awkwardly and said I couldnt travel to the holy island without telling her Father. You know Ill be gone for a whole month maybe more on this trip and I was worried she would forget me.
Mohammed avoiding his fathers gaze said She knows. I saw a drawing of me in her drawings. And I also went to the beach and talked to her.
The king said angrily trying to hide it What else?
Mohammed said I went to her house and saw her father but I was in human form.
Did Harith come and tell you about the attack before or after you returned to the water? the king asked.
Mohammed realizing hed forgotten this exclaimed Darn it! It did happen but he was also in human form and whispered it to me so no one else heard.
So she didnt hear the king concluded.
The king noticing Mohammeds evasion and not wanting to upset him before the trial said as he was about to leave Very well sleep now. Well talk when you get back. But open this door for me first.
