This child talked far too much. He didn't like children who had a lot to say. His father used to say that children who talked too much had a hard time listening.

Still, he could see that the kid had a point. He too had heard of vulnerable orphaned children being treated horribly, and living on the streets, the boy had probably encountered a fair share of dangerous folks. "Fair enough. He admitted. "Then how about you go tell your friend, gather what you want to bring and meet me here at four?"

Of course the kid could just run and not come back, and in that case, Tobias wasn't going to trouble himself about it. He was tired.
