And here is this individual who is clearly a demon of some kind, looking for a child, to keep her safe. Anders considers him quietly for a long moment, disapproval in the hard set of his jaw and, of course, the rock.
Ultimately, he puts the rock down, but not out of reach. Then he moves to get to his feet and... attempt to brush off most of this dirt.]
I don't believe you. Let's make that clear.
[it was definitely not clear already anders]
But... I haven't seen any children. That's not a lie. [A beat; surely, this child should be kept away from Demons, if she is indeed around somewhere, so,] Tell me more about her. But stay on your side.
