His parents told him strangers who wanted to kidnap him were adults.
"I dunno, I'm supposed to be shopping with my mom," he told her, popping the gumball in his mouth. Still, he was curious. "What do you want to play?" he asked, unable to stop himself.
There was something about this that he'd consider later on. Much easier speaking to the little brats when he looked like one of them. Naive little creatures. Carefree and only cautious about the wrong things. Korpsit smiled wide.
"We can play anything, I've got LOTS of toys and candy AND I know a really cool place too."
He looked about the shop briefly, to be sure the parents weren't heading their way that minute. He had to get this boy out of here before they could realize anything.
For his part, he pretended to play idly with the lengthy curls on his head--something he sometimes saw Noah do when she was in a good mood.
"We don't have to play long, but we can have some fun."
