Cyril's Red Ink

Cyril grabs this bright red ink and smears it across his foot to mimic a deep gash and bleeding wound. He limps dramatically before Steven and Dodo, clutching the injury to convince Dodo he slipped on his own powder trap during the hopscotch game. The viscous red liquid drips convincingly, fooling her into sympathy and nearly tricking her out of bounds, but his rush exposes the ruse as part of his collapsing deception.

Significance
