But here?
Everyone was taller.
Everyone.
And now this man—no, this snake or whatever the hell he was—stood in front of her like a tower wrapped in silk and mystery. He wasn't just taller. He was elegantly taller, in that stupidly graceful way that made it even more annoying.
Kaya crossed her arms and sighed. Her jaw clenched.
What was it with this world and tall people?
And why did being shorter suddenly feel like an insult?
She didn't know why it irritated her so much.
But it did.
A lot.
The sparrow, tied upside down like a badly wrapped gift, stared at the scene before him with absolute bewilderment.
....
(What the heck…?)
That same woman — the very same one who'd tried to roast him earlier, him, a creature as majestic and beautiful as a rare moonlight phoenix — was now standing there with a stunned expression. And not at him.
Oh no.
She was looking at that damn reptile like he was some divine miracle dropped from the heavens.
Him?!
