[ David only spares a glance down at Crona, sees the crown of heir head and how it's angled down at their shoes. He'd been lingering in the back, the same way they have. Listening, but never offering anything more than a nod or a pointed glance of his eyes. He knew someone was beside him, but he never bothered to look. And man, they look small. Young. Afraid. How old are they, even? ]
