Kyle didn't move and simply lay there like a log. Stiff as a board and his head was turned away, his face showing how angry he was.
Randall reluctantly got off Kyle, deciding not to push any further. He was well aware of how angry the boy was, and that if he pressed on too much, the boy would retaliate in ways that would be destructive to the both of them.
Kyle's blatant anger and displeasure at him did not bother him at all, though. He knew that it would happen and he was confident that in time, Kyle would see and understand his actions. The boy was still young, and impulsive.
Randall was more than prepared for the cold war that would happen.
He had plenty of time to coax him.
All his life, actually.
