Adolphus watched from below, his smirk softening into something almost…admiring.
But when she glanced down at him, he quickly looked away, back to his feet, as if she were the one who’d been caught staring.
She sighed and before she’d look up again he was perched up and smiling down to her, her eyes widened and she looked down, he landed square before her eyes making her roll her eyes.
“Show-off,” she muttered, shaking her head as she continued upward.
Séraphina knew more of foreign animals than Adolphus because her parent, her family were supernatural hunters and they caught and brought all sort of creatures.
A monkey was one of them one day and Seraphina was happy she won this argument.
Finally, she reached the wide, flat branch she’d been aiming for. She perched on it carefully, her legs dangling over the edge.
The view from up there was breathtaking—endless trees stretching out in every direction, the sky an endless expanse of blue above her.
