The man with ordinary features and sharp eyes observed us, then his gaze turned to the plant in my hands.
I swallowed hard, and the man opened his mouth, but I reacted before my body could think.
I could take him on since he was a human like me. No, I keep forgetting that I'm a fae.
I passed the plant to the little prince's hands, whose expression almost turned surprised, but he calmly grabbed the plant.
I jumped toward the man with the intent to knock him out, but the man seemed to predict my moves; he jumped to the side, avoiding my hands like a startled rabbit.
I turned and saw him running in the other direction as fast as lightning, well, in human standards. I gritted my teeth and chased him, my lungs pumping with air and my legs burning every time I had to turn and go into different rooms to chase him.
