To avoid alerting Yuzhou's military and causing a panic, Gao Peng didn't bring Stripey back with him. Instead, he had Dumby keep Stripey company as Dumby was resting. Gao Peng needed to discuss this development with his grandfather immediately.
As for whether Stripey would cause any more trouble if it was left alone, Gao Peng was fine as long as it didn't bully the smaller creatures around it.
Stripey nodded obediently. Honestly, it was still a little dizzy.
A fear of heights wasn't entirely uncommon, and relatively easy to overcome. A couple of days on a glass plank suspended a few hundred feet in the air would do the trick.
For Stripey, it took a couple of hours for it to get used to its new size. It was now able to look straight down without feeling nauseous, and it looked rather pleased with itself.
I, Stripey, am no longer afraid of heights.
I am Stripey the Courageous!
