[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 4486937, member: 17691"] A halfling boy, roughly ten or twelve years of age and barely knee high to a human, arrives on the scene at a jog only to slow and approach uncertainly upon spotting the others. The bedraggled guttersnipe has large blue expressive eyes and tousled russet hair covered by a floppy red cap. Although smooth and unlined, the halfling's face is smudged with dirt and grime. His oversized linen tunic is a dirty off-white, and his loose drably-colored breeches are patched at the knees. In addition, the street urchin has a leather jerkin, light slippers, a cloth belt, fingerless woolen gloves and appears unarmed. In his left hand he carries an oversized Harrow card. Being familiar with Gaedron, the obvious assumption is that the guttersnipe is, or at least was, a part of the urchin gang known as Lamm's Lambs. The small halfling boy looks around at the others with wide uncertain eyes. He takes the large human-sized playing card in both hands to compare the address written upon its back with the number displayed next to the door as if to confirm that he's in the right spot. Satisfied that he hasn't made some error, he anxiously hugs the card to his chest while listening to the vengeful half-orc describes his intentions. The boy swallows nervously when the man describes sucking Gaedron's marrow. For the moment the lad remains silent while shifting his weight nervously, uncertain of how to respond.
