Milo's POV
Lyra doesn’t talk to me the whole way home.
I don’t know what’s up. Is she mad at me because I tried to talk Wilder out of teaching us elemental magic? Because if that’s it, she has to understand that I’m just concerned about safety. I’ve spent my entire life keeping a careful distance from everything to do with magic and Moon Casters. And Wilder’s approach seems to be, well, let’s just do as much as we can and see what happens!
I’m not gonna pretend it’s not a little intimidating.
She grabs me by the wrist when we get to Giuseppe’s, and I figure I’m in for it.
“Go on in,” she says to Wilder. “We’re right behind you.”
Wilder looks from Lyra to me, then shrugs and heads inside. I can only suppose he figures the same thing I do—that there’s going to be some kind of argument
