"Hmm…"
Riley tilted his head to the left, then to the right, as he slowly rotated the park map in his hands. He had already marked several spots in ink, little circles and lines that were beginning to look more suspicious the longer he stared at them.
Around the low table in their private poolside cabana, an assortment of food sat largely untouched. Sliced fruits, skewers, chilled drinks, desserts that were definitely not cheap. Yet no one was paying attention to any of that.
Instead, every pair of eyes was locked onto Riley.
And gradually, almost subconsciously, the Dravaryn dragons and the Hales began to mirror him.
He tilted left. So did they.
He tilted right. So did they.
He rotated the map upside down. Several heads followed the invisible motion as if the enlightenment might shift with the angle.
"Mnn…"
Riley narrowed his eyes at the markings.
"Tsk!"
The soft sound escaped him before he realized it had.
There was a brief silence.
