Yesterday, during their game of tag, he had taken a nasty fall and ended up with a big scrape on his knee.
And to make matters worse, he had fallen right in front of Sylas.
That made the situation way more dramatic than if he had just gotten hurt on his own.
Seeing Rocco's knee covered in blood had apparently traumatized Sylas so much that he immediately banned him from playing tag for the foreseeable future.
Which was so weird.
Sylas saw far worse things all the time—blood from bad people, injuries way nastier than a scraped knee.
So why was his little wound enough to traumatize him?
Rocco decided to add this mystery to his growing list of "Sylas's Seven Wonders." With a sulky sigh, he mumbled under his breath.
"…Yesterday was just a little accident. I can usually run just fine."
"Yeah, yeah, I know. You were just having too much fun and forgot to watch where you were going for a second. It's okay, Rocco, I know it wasn't your fault."
"Mmm…"
