Before Ezra boarded the Royal Steam Bus that would take the Ashenlocke family members to the Royal Airport, he spent a little more time walking with Cyrus.
The two had arrived through their families' private Dirigibles, but the time had come to leave the Royal Palace grounds and return home to resume their holiday.
Cyrus slowed his steps and turned toward Ezra.
He raised his right hand, offering a handshake.
"So, till next month."
His tone was calm, as usual.
Ezra looked at the offered hand and shook it.
"Have a good holiday, Cyrus."
His reply was plain and brief.
After they released their hands, Cyrus stepped back and turned toward the Royal Steam Bus assigned to carry the Burnwick family to the Royal Airport.
He raised one hand in a lazy wave before joining his family members.
Ezra watched him go for a moment, then continued toward the Ashenlocke family's vehicle.
"Today was really stressful, Master."
Lucy spoke from in front of him.
