Kharel continued to pull my hand along the academy corridor. Nobody spoke a word between us. But because of this, I noticed something else about Kharel besides his grip. Even though we are only two years apart, for some reason Kharel seems to be growing faster and has become very mature at only nine years old.
Not only does his back look wider or his shoulders look so strong and his legs have grown longer so that he is much taller than me, but Kharel's attitude and character are not like those of a child his age. Kharel seems to be able to control his emotions better. different when he was five years old. At that time, his emotions seemed unstable and he became angry quickly.
Kharel became much calmer.
"Even though at that time he was the same height as me," I thought. I'm starting to think that Kharel will definitely be much taller when he grows up and maybe I'll only be as tall as just below his chest.
