Something incomprehensible swam in Kyle’s eyes as my question floated unanswered in the air. Choosing to ignore the silent tension between us, I decided to take Kyle’s lack of speech as permission.
“It’ll only take me two days, okay?” Although I still sought his agreement, my resolve was firm. I would be leaving with or without his approval. Before Kyle could utter another word of dissent, I swiftly grabbed Miu and launched him off of the cliff’s edge. In the blink of an eye, the small child had transformed fully into a colossal dragon, his vast wings churning the air as he glided around us. The sudden whirlwind whipped my hair into a frenzy as Kyle scowled in displeasure.
“If you intended to act as you please, why did you bother to seek my permission?” he grumbled.
“It was actually more of an announcement—sorry,” I said with a small shrug.
