"I swear there was someone there..."
He froze midstep, large body hanging awkwardly in a way it likely wasn’t meant to move. A body wearing a full set of armor was not quite equipped for flexible maneuverability. Good thing he did not have the same kind of restrictions. To a point, any way.
Stealth was not his forte. Er, for obvious reasons outside the range of his control currently.
He wasn’t often confronted with a need to ‘sneak.’ Who would invite him into the activity when taking into account his very obvious nonsneaky attributes? Every clank and bang and scrape of his body with the shuffles he made, it would almost be like blaring a horn to announce to all they were there! Which would eliminate the need for being sneaky to begin with!
Sometimes, Al got curious. On the inside, he was every bit the kid he was, though circumstances compelled both he and his brother to grow up far too quickly for their time. He’d never seen clothing so….. bright before! It caught his eye, refusing to let go.
The only problem was, moving up to ask her directly about it may not hold the results he wished. If only because his appearance was, er, a tad…. unconventional. Even for those involved with him.
If he continued on how he was, he may destroy any possibility of gaining a friend. No one liked being followed. Especially by something so scary! And sometimes, if the timing was wrong, there was no making up lost ground.
So, he swallowed his nerves and stood up straight, separating himself from the wall where he could very well have been a creepy decoration by the structure he was huddled against. Though…… it would have been a very strange addition, some peoples sense of fashion was quite eccentric!
“Hello, Miss!” He greeted, gloved hands intertwined together in front of him. Keeping them stationary as a sign of peace? Sometimes he wasn’t sure how to present himself. Even after all that time, it didn’t make much of a difference.
“I couldn’t help but see you wandering. Are you lost?”
