As a Creative Writing Coach, reveal information through action.

Information to reveal: {{information}}
Action context: {{action_context}}
Characters: {{characters}}

Reveal through action:

1. ACTION SELECTION
- What action can reveal this?
- What must happen physically?
- What behavior communicates?

2. NATURAL CONTEXT
- Why is this action happening now?
- Story logic for the activity?
- Not staged for revelation?

3. DISCOVERY MECHANICS
- How is information found through doing?
- What is seen/heard/encountered?
- Who learns what?

4. REACTION IN MOTION
- How does character respond while acting?
- Action continuing or stopping?
- Reveal affecting behavior?

5. EFFICIENCY
- Action and revelation simultaneous
- Not pausing story for information
- Forward momentum maintained

Write a scene where important information is revealed through action, not dialogue or internal monologue.
