As I finished most of my breakfast, Nico excused himself first.
"Thank you for the meal." Scooting himself out of the chair, Nico briefly stopped beside Poppy to say.
"Bye." Giving Poppy a light pat on the head, the little girl waved her hand at Nico. As if she was waving goodbye to him.
Once he saw Poppy's light wave of a goodbye, Nico began making his way to the front door.
"You better follow him." After taking a quick sip of her herbal tea, Sylva continued. "He'll end up leaving you behind at this rate."
'What?!'
Abruptly scooting myself out of the wooden chair, I grabbed my bag and ran after the boy.
"Wait!" Upon hearing me yell for the boy, Blanche dove from one of the hanging plants to follow after me.
"Coo!"
I felt something land on my head. I guess Blanche managed to catch up to me, but...!
"Nico!" Slow down for a second!
But Nico didn't stop for a mere second.
Not even bothering to turn back and look at me.
'Ugh.' Did Sylva say something or did I do something wrong?
If only Nico would tell me.
