[...and he's not sure what to make of it.]
[was there a gas leak? is this an omen? it's not halloween any more, is it?]

[curiosity gets the best of him, and so he stops by the start of the pathway towards the house this strange man was perched on. he holds onto the straps of his backpack tightly, but his voice condemns no ill feelings - only polite assertiveness.]
