The little boy mimicked Cale and crouched beside him, both hands on top of his knees. He lifted an arm and started poking the unconscious man with his small pointer finger a few times. “Is he dead?”
‘Why is this kid saying something so scary?’ Cale felt a shiver run through his spine, imagining a scenario if this person really was dead as he arrived. That would’ve complicated things for him even more.
“Hey you, stop doing that kid.” Cale said as he looked at the boy who suddenly stopped his incessant poking.
With a proud puff and a snooty demeanor he brazenly spoke, “I’m not a kid! I’m a great and mighty dragon!”
“Sure, sure.” Cale agreed nonchalantly, not really knowing how important this little kid’s proclamation was. He thought it was just some child’s play, believing in some fantasy creature.
“What’s that drawing in his body mister?” The little kid pointed at the animal symbol that was seen from the slightly opened polo of the man.
“It’s a Whale. He’s part of the Whale Clan.” Cale answered, calculating some plan on how he was going to handle this.
“Whale? Oh, so he’s like me, but I am far greater than this little puny whale!” The little kid shouted in excitement, belittling the whale beast clan member. He then turned his attention over to Cale’s and curiously asked a question, “What about you, mister? I don’t see a drawing on you.”
“.....” Cale remained silent for a while before administering what the kid was saying. His mind was too busy thinking of what to do so he just said whatever. “I’m a human.”
“Human?” The boy tilted his head a little to the right.
“Yes.” Cale replied without even looking at him. He was then startled by his loud cheerful voice.
“Hello Human!”
Cale sighed, “Haaa….” He thought that he must’ve mistaken his name for the word ‘Human.’ However he didn’t try to correct him. It would be too bothersome anyway.
