The bulky and bald man walked past Ned. For some reason, he was familiar with his right hand wrapped around with a ragged cloth. But even though carefully covered, Ned could make out dark lines etched under his wrist: a tattoo of some sort.
But Ned couldn't make out his face as he walked toward the group of kids.
To Ned's surprise, instead of beating the kids, the bald man took something out of the pouch hanging over his waist and give them to the four kids. The kids then left without saying anything but a glare to the bald man and the kid half-battered on the cold ground.
The bald man helped the kid to stand. But just like his perpetrators, the kid didn't say much as he grabbed the thing the bald guy was offering. Now that the kid stood in front of the bald man, Ned makes out the thing he was giving was bread. Without doing much, the kid wiped the blood dripping under his nose and run away from the bald man.
