"Uhh.. well.. No time for that, I'm afraid. You've got a brother to save and cannot delay! Why, every minute you waste now brings him a minute coser to his death! And as for me, I'm going to have a hard time just finding my way back to the city, what with all this nightly traveling. Really, it's been fun, but ehr.. my master's probably worrying where I am right now, and da's going to be real angry with me for dissapearing, so I should really be going. Uh, bye?"
Skip slowly starded retreating to the entrance of the cave, all the while keeping an eye on the others to make sure they wouldn't come after him.
