Cilan grinned, and went off to annoy Cyprian. He stalked the boy, just following behind silently. The musclehead's skull was so thick that he didn't even realize it. Cilan was naturally terrible at stealth too, just like his mother. Adamson women didn't have to use ambushing tricks to defeat people in combat. Especially not his mother. Solara just walked up to her enemy, casually snapped his neck, and walked away without so much as batting an eyelash.
Not that she had long eyelashes or anything. Cyprian was right about Solara being more manly than Alastair. Your dad sucks. My mom could pick him up with one hand, he thought. Since Solara was Cilan's mom, it would make sense for Cilan to eventually get ridiculously strong too. Oh, he was just waiting for it. He couldn't wait until he could pick Cyprian up with one hand.
Cyprian filled up his water canteen at a water fountain in the park. As soon as he put the cap on, Cilan tapped him on the back. Cyprian groaned and turned around.
"Hello, ant boy," he smirked.
Cilan was 5'10" and one of the tallest Adamson boys. In fact, he was taller than almost all the full-grown men in his family. This was like an insult to his family. "Can I try to lift you up?" he said, grinning.
"Sure," said Cyprian with a triumphant look, like he knew he won.
Cilan didn't know if he could actually lift up Cyprian, but he pretended to try. He really wasn't trying though, just making a big drama out of straining to get him off the ground. Then he gave up.
"Weakling," Cyprian sneered.
"You know, dude, an ant can lift up to five thousand times more than its own weight." Cilan told him matter-of-factly. "You must be really fat if I can't even lift you up."
Cyprian clenched his jaw. Laughing, Cilan broke into a run, and he could hear Cyprian's heavy footsteps chasing him. No way was that boy going to catch him. Cilan ran random circles to get the idiot lost in the park, and then he took off towards the stand.
