Growth Part II

“So, aren’t you going to log out and rest for a bit?” Joke asked.

“Yeah, I’m about to. Just stopped by to chat… By the way, where’s Flora?”

It was clear Ace was itching to play with the mischievous little dragon. Seeing this, Joke chuckled and pointed to the other side, drawing everyone’s attention.

“Hahaha! Again, again!”

It was then that he spotted the little girl laughing joyfully as she climbed onto the back of a large white dragon before sliding down its tail. The dragon wagged its tail playfully, seeming to enjoy the game as much as she did. Tiny, palm-sized white dragons flitted around her, joining in on the fun.

“I can’t tell if it’s because she’s a kid or because she’s your daughter—she’s just as good at getting along with dragons as you are,” Ace chuckled, while Joke could only shake his head in exasperation.

“I wish she could share some of that knack for connecting with others with Belle,” Joke replied wryly.
