How could you miss something so important? With everything it had cost you to do it... You looked everywhere trying to figure out where you left it. You expected a certain person not to find it.
You froze when you saw what you had been fearing the most. The great scribe of Akademiya, Alhaitham, now had in hand the plush of him that you had lost. How were you going to explain that you made a plush identical to him.
You tried to react quickly, he didn't have to know it had been you, maybe if you ran away in time and played dumb he wouldn't notice. You tried to flee the place, better to pretend you had nothing to do with it, but then you made eye contact. You were screwed.
He knew it, you were sure he knew it, especially when he showed the plush a little, confirming when you tensed up.
