A few other children came over to say hello when they saw that Cara and Leo were chatting. Everyone knew who Cara was, and she was quite popular with the kids in her class.
But Leo was new, and he had an aura of supreme happiness to him today, after his first day in school.
The other kids in his first year class were all recounting his version of sparring, including the now infamous power bomb. Nobody had ever told him that it was against the rules because humans were susceptible to that sort of slam.
But for a Tortollan, as they assumed that he was, it wasn't a big deal. Unlike their animalistic kin, they could get off their backs easily enough.
"Did I hear ice cream? I got my fifth gold star of the month, that means my mom will let me go for ice cream." A little girl with sparkly pink nail polish announced.
The woman who had been speaking to Leo smiled at her, and the girl turned to Leo.
"Leo, can I come with you for Ice Cream?"
