Torran paused his march down the street as the boy began yelling for his attention. The small children were still distressed, despite his best attempts to placate them. He immediately removed them from his shoulders, seeing as the girl was on the verge of tears - she obviously was afraid of heights, and the sudden rise clearly frightened her. Torran was absolutely appalled at his lack of grace regarding the situation, not thinking of such an obvious fear for a child to have. In fact, Torran was also afraid of heights - he's just used to being tall, unlike the little girl! Torran was completely oblivious to the whispers that started going through the nearby crowd, and the fact that both children were merely frightened by the fact that a complete stranger was trying to take them somewhere by force.

But this presented a big dilemma to Torran. He had to find a Familia, and while his previous idea of looking for their mother and a Familia at the same time was absolutely genius, it now had a big hole in the fact that these children were scared of being as tall as Torran was. But then how in the world could Torran manage to find a Familia? It was honestly baffling. But then, a stroke of incredible intellect struck the lumbering man, and he immediately questioned the children.

"Do you know who the person your mother wanted to meet is? If we can find them then we will be able to find your mother!"

Perfectly deduced - as soon as Torran found this mystery person, he could hand the children off to them, and proceed on his quest to find a Familia that will accept him. Not as elegant as his previous plan, but Torran couldn't immediately think how fear in heights would cause the plan to fail.
