Section 213: A Day in the Capital (1)
Logan spent considerable effort before he got the kid called Cohen to understand that the shorty in front of him was indeed Malin.
But he still had a puzzled look on his face, as if he had seen something he shouldn't have, which made Malin feel embarrassed because he started to recall the big guy, Shelton. If he were as tall as him, there probably wouldn't have been a need for any explanation; just a glance would have sufficed to conclude, 'This lad must be a giant, terrifying indeed'.
As if reading the melancholy in Malin's heart, Logan patted Malin on the shoulder, "I know it's hard for you, but this is the Capital, so please don't go pulling out streetlights."
Malin was amused rather than angry at the young man's comment and gently elbowed him, while the latter dramatically clutched his ribs.
