Chapter 24
Leo didnât have to search for Xana for long, in the end. All he needed to do was fly in a straight line between the lake party and the Chiron Hall, and he soon found her walking with heavy steps and a downcast expression, clearly with a lot on her mind. Adjusting the angle of his wings, the young dragon began to lose altitude and gain speed, planning something that would surely bring a smile to the girlâs face.
Opening his wings at the last second to decrease his speed enough not to risk hurting her, Leo let his body collide with hers, which was significantly larger than his. Due to his loss of speed and her superhuman strength, Xana only took a step forward while letting out a surprisingly feminine squeal. Leo, on the other hand, allowed himself to fall to the ground, pretending to have all his air expelled by the impact.
Xana turned around to see what on earth had hit her, but her eyes widened when she saw Leo sitting on the ground. The minotaur girl then let out a playful chuckle that soon turned into a full laugh. Joined by the young dragon, the two of them laughed until Xana was bent over, holding her knees and out of breath.
âDo dragons usually have vision problems?â Xana asked, still trying to stop laughing long enough to get some air into her lungs. âBecause if you didnât see me in front of you, you might need glasses.â
âWell, you know what they say about drinking and flying,â Leo replied with a shrug. He then stood up and began to pat his clothes to clean himself, even though he hadnât really gotten dirty.
âI thought normal drinks couldnât get you drunk,â Xana commented with a raised eyebrow, clearly challenging him to disagree.
âWell, they can if I drink an absurd amount of them,â Leo said with a small laugh.
âThen why did you run me over?â Xana asked, crossing her arms seriously, but her eyes and the small smile on her face betrayed her true feelings.
âWho knows?â Leo pondered, shrugging once again. âMaybe I just wanted to hug you from behind.â
âWeâre both wearing too much clothing for that,â the minotaur girl said with a teasing smile, intentionally misinterpreting what the young dragon meant.
The two of them locked eyes for a few seconds, his blue meeting her amber, until they both started laughing again almost simultaneously. Xana knew that Leo had done it to try to cheer her up, and she was grateful for that, even though he had chosen a very unusual way to do it. Sneakily, she let her eyes travel over his body. She had to admit that it was a bit strange to see him with wings when the image she had formed of him in her mind was the one she was used to, but she thought the wings suited him well, as if something that had always been missing when she looked at him had now been revealed.
