Thankfully, it didn’t seem like any of them were going to attack them. Well, at least he was sure the boy beside him won’t since he appeared to be the reasonable sort, but that chick… Yeah no. He’d rather eat nails for breakfast than turn a blind eye to her violent tendencies. “Hey kid,” Lute kept his eyes on Max and Sammie as he knelt down in front of the girl and, after noting that they probably wouldn’t do anything unsavory what with a child around, looked at her instead, “see those other people over there? Your dad’s probably with them. Why don’t you go and check it out?” With all the chaos earlier, it seemed as if the little one didn’t think of that course of action. She nodded and ran off after thanking him. So, what now? Lute narrowed his eyes at his captors and crossed his arms over his chest, “So, you got me. Yeah. We’re not really going to stand around looking at each other, are we? Because I’d much prefer hauling over bucketfuls of water to… Oh, I don’t know, maybe those burning tents over there?
