Those two are not kids, I made it a point to refer to them per "youths" rather than kids. Keep in mind that Leo is several hundred years old and is well within his right to call even world's elders as kids. The whole group consisted fully of adults. In theory it's an additional loredrop but those two are 22 and 20 respectively.
Leo's eyes moved over the two kids' shoulders, right where a swarm of yellow-caps was sneaking up on the three of them. And then, with his hands already on their shoulders, he pushed them right into the open arms of the silently charging, yellow-capped fiends.

Correct.
Still, I had no plans of letting Fay's mother go. But while Fay's position in my heart was already solidified, it was also different from the place I predicted her mother would soon take.

Or this dissonance is a result of something that goes deeper into the story than what you are supposed to know at this stage :D
But the presence of that stinky aura wasn't something I could bring up with Makary. Not now, when he was just a contact of convenience, ready to turn his back on me the second it proved more beneficial to work against me than with me.

As I mentioned in several replies so far, I overcorected the simplicity early on, nothing I can do about it now but hope you will stick through and reach faster paced parts before losing all of your patience :)

"Fay can't do much," she spoke, lowering her head and grasping her hands into fists. "But Fay wants to, at least, groom Peter too!"

Partially true, but only partially. One example is never enough to prove a point (circumstantial evidence) but it's also enough to bury an incomplete/wrong theory (proof that goes against the grit) In other words, you can thousands of other people can be fine moving about with wet hair, but it doesn't serve as proof. It can serve to disprove the broad statement that going that having wet hair and going out ALWAYS makes you sick, same like me falling sick because of it cannot serve to prove the above but disprove the fact there's no correlation. Still, to move on from judging purely by words and enter the space of talking about the actual topic: - Only those very unfortunate in life or those who participate in war (or medics in general) have seen brain. Does it mean that those people are the only ones CAPABLE to perceive the existence of brain? No. There is a lot of "broad knowledge" that stems from the fact that a certain authority declared something and people trust in that authority enough to assume their claim is on point or, at the very least, not fraudulent. Thta's the only way in which knowledge and wisdom can operate now that we reached waaaaay beyond the point where a single man can possess all the knowledge there is in the world (the last time it actually happened was early on in XVII-XVIII, not exactly sure - but since then, the knowledge humanity possess simply grew to be too wide and deep for it to ever happen again). What I want to say is that by those "common teachings" of "not going outside/standing by the window with your hair wet" might not exactly be the one and only reason why people fall sick. But, when we bring it back to a reasonable level, I believe it's a massive factor. I'm not a medic/doctor/biologist or someone anywhere near those jobs with my fields of expertise. So, with the knowledge of the world that I have, I assume having wet hair on a cold air means there's greater rate at which the heat is sucked away from one's head (because water is the better transmitted of the temperature than just air) and that, in one way or form, can weakened one's body enough to let the viruses/bacteria etc we already have in our body to act up, conversely, have the body's response to the sudden drop of temperature in a way that showcases as symptoms we usually associate with cold/sickness. Am I correct in that line of thinking? I have no idea. This might be "it" or a complete load of BS. But I don't really care about the explanation. Enough of sources I consider to be authoritative within this specific field has marked the action of meeting cold air with wet hair to be dangerous to one's well-being/health. And because I trust in those authorities, I do and shall continue to believe that to be the case, irregardless of whether or not there are tens, hundreds, thousands or even million of people that are not affected by this issue. Who knows? Maybe it's not a bad idea to have wet hair in the middle of the desert/in the middle of a tropical heatwave/in the middle of hot period of Japan's weather/in the middle of a swimmingpool. There can be any number of circumstances that affect this rule, from genetics, biology, clothes, current state of health, outside weather, usual weather we are used to. Maybe even the fact that you go outside a lot with wet hair allowed you and your family to develop immunity to it, as in, get your body used to such state? I'm not an expert of the topic nor am I going to have this level of detailed discussion whenever this topic goes back around so, unless at some point I will have to learn all there is about this topic, I shall keep putting my trust into the wisdom of people in the knowledge of which I trust (one of which happens to be my older sister who just so happens to be a doctor :D) :3
"Can you stand up and sit on the edge of the bed now?" I asked, already rushing back to the bathroom to find the hand-held hair dryer that I low-key stole from my aunt's house. It was a cheap replacement for what my mom used to have, and something I couldn't afford to miss if I didn't want to get sick every time after washing my own hair and having no other choice but to wait for them to dry themselves.

That's because this isn't your typical wuxia story but a novel that takes "realism" of the given rules quite damn seriously.
Crushing the cultivator's soft throat with all the might of his nanite-reinforced grip… he simply swung him to the back, using his body as a ballast to eject himself forward.

What is it like to be a scribe? Is it good? In my opinion it's not about being good or not good. If I were to say what I esteem the most in life, I would say - people. People, who gave me a helping hand when I was a mess, when I was alone. And what's interesting, the chance meetings are the ones that influence our lives. The point is that when you profess certain values, even those seemingly universal, you may not find any understanding which, let me say, which helps us to develop. I had luck, let me say, because I found it. And I'd like to thank life. I'd like to thank it - life is singing, life is dancing, life is love. Many people ask me the same question, but how do you do that? where does all your happiness come from? And i replay that it's easy, it's cherishing live, that's what makes me build machines today, and tomorrow... who knows, why not, i would dedicate myself to do some community working and i would be, wham, not least... planting .... i mean... carrots.

I mean, if you are stupid enough to belive a small fox is capable of biting a human's head off, then I guess this novel might seem stupid to you. Or rather, the entire world might seem stupid to you. The question you should ask yourself though, is: If everything around me is stupid, is the world really stupid or is it my inability to understand it that makes it seem as if everything but me is stupid? STOOOOPID.

Its an issue every writer faces of finding some expression and just getting used to them. So, just like you have "incandescent fire" in every other chapter of Shadow Slave, you have characters gulping, squinting their eyes and sighing in my novels :D
