Playing hooky (day 1 early afternoon)

[Moto Baatar]

Moto Baatar ducked out of the opening ceremony, which he was sure would be boring and full of long-winded, high-minded speeches. Instead the young Unicorn snuck away to loaf around near the animal pens.

"You won't tell anyone I didn't go, will you yaku-san?" he asked one of the yaks conspiratorially. "I'm sure if they say anything really important I'll hear all about it later."

The yak replied with a lowing noise that could've meant anything.
