"How the hell did you arrive before me?"
Leiza's eyes widened as she looked from Azzy to Orion. "When did you two meet?" she asked, her voice tinged with both surprise and confusion.
Azzy responded nonchalantly, "I was just too excited to wait, so I went ahead to meet him a couple of hours ago. Didn't expect the lad would just jump down from the chopper, though. The only difference was that you did it out of compulsion, while his act is more like resistance."
Leiza furrowed her brows, turning her gaze back to Orion. "What the hell were you thinking?" she shouted, her voice laced with anger. "You could have killed yourself!"
Orion stood his ground, his eyes burning with resentment as he glared at Azzy. Instead of replying to her, he growled at Azzy, "Wow, that's great. The moment you decided to return to our lives, you started turning my mother against me?"
Leiza rose from the couch in anger. "Orion, behave. That's your father."
