Malek's expression remained the same as he looked back at Haylee. However, his brain was running in overdrive as he recalled what Kyran had told him.
An hour ago, after the tower's defensive array was fixed, Kyran looked for him, and they talked privately. The latter's action was a little strange for Malek. They were previously not on good terms, but Kyran had acted as if they were old friends. Malek had already noticed it during the short discussion in the conference hall, but it became evident the second time they talked.
Among the council members, Malek was the only one Stella had told about Kyran going somewhere to train. It had only been a week since then, but the change in Kyran that was evident in his ability and attitude felt as if he went to train for years.
