The thief quickly lifted his head when he heard the voice.
Rather unnerving song to be singing at this time of night…
He looked around, not seeing where the song was coming from right away.
“Umm… Is someone there?”
The man tilted his head slightly. “Yes. I know it isn’t an hour to sing, but.. My kids just love this song, I don’t know why.” The kids…They were kind of weird, actually. They didn’t look like the man -or each others- at all, and while they were playing happily..Well. They looked a bit off. Like they were sleepwalking. “I personally think it’s a little creepy, don’t you think?”
“Just a bit…”
The thief didn’t really trust this guy one bit. However, he did have to wonder how the children weren’t freaking out, if he was right about the man having possibly taken them away from wherever they came from. Though….. the look in their eyes seemed a bit familiar….
Well, it might not hurt to stall him, if only to buy time to figure out what to do.
“They do seem quite energetic for this time of night. Were you all playing somewhere?”
