"Yeah..." he agrees, moving along still.

Before he can answer, they both hear little bouts of creepy, impish sounding laughter. One voice sounds male, the other female.

Ovian is about to reply, when he hears the sound of high-pitched, childish laughter. He turns to face the way it came from, and prepares for whatever they could've come from...

Zuleika on the other hand sqeeks and jummps. She runs over to hide behind Ovian. "th-that sounds..creepy! I'm scared." Oh the braves gypsy girl hinding behind a man she, as of right now because he is croughing, is taller then. Shuch a scredy cat.

Two small children pop out of the brush. Obviously twins, the duo in ruffled matching outfits stare up at the strange adults. They both blink, and after a moment, they both begin to grin.
"You two look funny," the little girl says.

Ovian starts at their sudden appearance. Then he leans very closely towards the girl, blinking his large, ominous eyes at her...
"Funny?" he echoes the little girl's words, cocking his head on the side. He had seen children before, usually on caravans or with parents, but he had never seen children alone, or, such identical-looking children as well. He knew there was a word for people who looked the same...but he couldn't remember it. He flicks his head almost like an owl or snake towards the boy of the duo now, his pupils retracting to take in less light as the trees moved in the wind...his face flickered back to the girl again, then he turned around and returned to Zulieka. He turned to face them again, sitting on his haunches. A mildly puzzled- yet interested -look on his face. He looks at the gypsy girl, frowning at her sudden cowardice. But then, once again, his head flicks almost clockwork-like to the twins.

Zulieka stand back up now seeing that they are just children. "Oh hello there you two." She walks over to them with a puzzeld look on her face. "Why....are you two all alone? Where are your parents?" She speeks in a calm and slightly quite voice. She is still calming her self down affter she self inficted freek out.

The little girl looks up at the bard, tilting her head in the same direction he does whenever he does it. She doesn't flinch when he comes closer, but she looks tempted to poke him.
She finally ends up looking at Zulieka once he turns to face her. The coward. "We're running away--"
"--to become pirates," the young boy finishes. He then smiles. "We're so terribly sorry to give your lady-friend a fright."

"Pirates?" Ovian finds himself echoing the small human's words again, he had hear this word too, yet he couldn't remember what it meant. He knew what a circus was though...and why did he refer to them as human? Surely, he was human too...so long had it been since he had seen his own face. He didn't seem to need to drink or eat much, or sleep at all, for that matter, but he did so...out of habit.
He turns towards the edge of the treeline and looks back at the two children.
"Does that mean you're coming with us? I don't think there are any...pirates where we're going..."

The y both frown. "Now why would we do that? That's a very silly thought," the little boy says.
"E'specially, since we only want to use you as practice!" the girl adds in chiperly, then jerks her head back to her brother, who's now holding up a sling shot aimed at him.
"Give us all your loot or else you'll regret it," he says in his toughest sounding voice, though relatively speaking, is only a quiet murmur.

Zulieka stand back up and gives a little laugh. "you two are just to cute!" She picks both of them up with on hug. "Children are so cute when they play pretend!"

Ovian cocks his head at the two children's threats. He looks even more bemused when his companiion picks up the two strangers and hugs them. A normal person would've commented on hugging two total strangers, but Ovian seemed to not know about social subconcious thoughts...

The woman took the children by surprise, they're eyes widening to the size of small saucers.
"Gah!!" the boy flails, accidently releasing his sling-shot, which hits Ovian square in the head. The children don't notice though, too preoccupied with their own imminent situation. they both flail helpessly in the woman's grasp.
"Unhand us you!" the boy struggles.
"We shall NOT be turned over to the local authorities! We are the scavengers of the sea!" the girl continues, though she nor her brother had never ACTUALLY been to the ocean, much less on a boat as pirates.
Either way, the current event was quite humiliating for the would-be pirates.
