The kobold wakes from sleep with one eye open first, to ensure everything is as it should be. Noting no one has gotten up yet, he feigns sleep some more until he hears the motion of Doral and Partash. It is an interesting prayer, the kobold thinks, and stashes that bit of information away for later.
The kobold comes down the stairs just in time to hear Doral's sarcastic comment. The team, if it could be called that, was breaking. His life was not endangered yet, so the job was the more important task, and he did not want the others to get distracted yet. Not until the job was done. Then it did not matter.
Cooly, to Doral's statement, the kobold interjected, "But that is entirely what we plan to do today. Because the alternative---failure---would leave us envying our prisoner." Once down the stairs, the kobold added, "Now we must plan."
