A Stealthy Request

Mehtomiel at The Wild Hunt: We noticed just recently that non-combat pets can now stealth with their owners. My thieving arena partner tried to demonstrate how his very first vanity pet unwittingly gave away his ganking plans in Stranglethorn Vale back in the old days – and suddenly, the named and shamed parrot faded from sight.
