At the mention of the word "Animorph," Marco's head instantly snapped to Claudia, and he narrowed his eyes at her.
Marco had been careful to never mention anything about the Animorphs. He'd rather keep his abilities as an ace up his sleeve. So he knew he'd never said anything about Ax or their abilities to Claudia. And if Claudia had never met Ax before...
"Where did you hear that word?" Marco asked, his voice deceptively calm. "I've never said it. And I know Ax and Tobias wouldn't go around telling people about us."
He fixed Claudia with an intense stare. "Have you been spying on us, is that it?" he hissed. "Or did you get someone else to do it? Do you did around an gossip about what you find out?"
His eyes flicked to Ax for an instant, and he nodded - just slightly, not enough to be obvious to Claudia, but enough that Ax would be able to see it.
