Snippet #2827633

The Voidwalker grimaces, exhaling slightly. "Ah."

He walks to the officers alongside Koishi, holding his hands half-raised as he does so, clutching the briefcase in one arm. Almost as a side thought, he responds to the girl's question. "I'm hardly a child, I fear. My soul is older than my body, if you can understand."

He raises his voice to address the policemen, silently noting their actions. "Greetings, officers. I hope there's no issue?"

Lowering his voice to address Koishi again, he pauses momentarily before speaking, his face darkening slightly as he stares forward at the officers. "Kid, listen. These people probably aren't here to be friends, so I would be careful. I don't even know if they notice you, either. Just play it safe."

Once he's a safe distance from the policemen, he lowers an arm to set the briefcase down on the sidewalk, then raises it back up again to put both of his hands behind his head. "I apologize, did I do something wrong?"
