"Auntie Aiko! Auntie Aiko! Let's fly!"
"No. Walk on your two feet."
"Don't wanna! Walking on two feet is stupid!"
"What? How is it stupid?"
"Auntie Aiko… four feet is the way to go. Don't you know?"
"Yes, but wolfie, you are a big boy now."
"Ling Ling is not a big boy. I am only six years old!"
"I mean that you are too big to walk on all fours. The street is not wide enough."
"Oh…"
"So…"
"So let's fly!"
Aiko suppressed a smile.
Little Ling had assumed his human form, so she was holding his hand as they walked along a tranquil street. It would have been a cute scene, in normal circumstances, but the two of them made for a strange pair — mainly because she was barely taller than the little boy.
