Staring at the group of children with a confused expression, I muttered out.
"w-what?"
Letting out a groan, the children's leader looked back at the rest of the children and said.
"You guys go; I'll take care of this guy."
As I remained shellshocked in front of the gate, the children walked past me and towards the pool of water with their buckets.
Not giving me time to regain my composure, the leader of the children stared at me and asked.
"Can't you see you're blocking our way? What do you want?"
Taking a couple of deep breaths, I looked at the child and said,
"I just told you, didn't I? I need an adult to speak with for some directions...I'm an adventurer who is a bit lost."
Matching my confused expression, the child replied.
"What do you mean "just told you?" This is the first time I've ever seen you."
"..."
