Childermass nods grimly, casting a glance out down the street before back at the other man. "It's a nasty business they deal in," he comments. "The stealing of children. I can't imagine what she wants that boy for, though with all of the looting and taking that's been going on in the area today, I suppose that it was only a matter of time."

He turns to look at the man beside him, sizing him up. A Guardian, and... A member of the Police, if he's not mistaken. "I imagine that you're eager to get him back then, Officer Dulac," he says, making it clear that he knows exactly who he's talking about, even if Lancelot has no idea of who he is himself. "Would it please you then to know you are talking to a witness?"
