sah Sah then realized how suspicious it might be for a man to be asking if a child is alone. "Oh!" Running a hand against the back of his neck sheepishly, the Abandoned explained. "I'm concerned. I've got two kids around your age and if they were wandering off alone, I'd be worried if they were ok or not. If they were safe." Hopefully that would clear the air. This kid seemed far too young to be alone and unaccompanied. At least, not in the busy streets of Torchline. Granted, a local kid was probably fine, but Sah had a hunch that this little girl wasn't a local. She didn't have the presence of a Torcher. There was an easy confidence that many in Torchline. For some it was fake, others true to the bone. But they all seemed to have it, perhaps as a defense mechanism for their rowdy region. |
