[John might not be looking where he's going, but some of the locals have a few extra eyes for this exact purpose. Arms, too. Which is fortunate enough, because it seems like if he doesn't look where he's going this kid might run headfirst into a faerie trap.]
[It's worth noting, for the record, that when someone just barely sixteen refers to a fifteen-year-old as "kid", there's a strong possibility that he's not entirely normal himself. Only time will tell. Physically, of course, it's pretty obvious that something is amiss here, given that John's caught by the shoulders just before colliding into Somebody. And he's caught by the shoulders by six arms.]
[That is more than the usual number of arms, probably. At least the grip isn't too tight, and the voice that comes from Somebody is low and attempting to be soothing.]
Careful. It's not safe out here. Are you looking for someone?
