"Hmph! That's better. I'll allow you to walk me to school." The kid said, head held high.
"Th-that cannot be! Have you not heard the commotion?! Ah! My apologies." Bowing his head to hide his smirk, Eldrian couldn't believe the kid was buying it. He didn't even have a collar around his neck.
Then again, his cloak did a good job of hiding his neck, along with his dirtied silver hair and elven ears.
"So what? That has nothing to do with us." The kid declared with confidence, moving to continue on his way.
"B-but..." Eldrian stammered, and when the kid signalled for him to continue, Eldrian explained that the school had been evacuated. Apparently, the intruder had made it into the city, or so he explained.
"Impossible!" The kid denied, but only then did he notice his surroundings. The area they were in was quiet, too quiet. It was early in the morning. Sure, he overslept. But it shouldn't be this quiet.
