bullying a weak and helpless child maybe something they could do, but actually going up against someone who can fight back? and do it with such force? not something they were expecting.
the crowd, too, decides it's time to turn and suddenly become busy, the air thick with nervousness and apprehension at the display. but, for the time being, it seems all is calm now for the time being, something zita tries to tell the boy as she draws back closer to the young man. ]
You're safe. No one is going to hurt you now. [ then, to the young man- ] Are you alright?
[ thank you, goes the boy, blurting out the words impulsively while he continues hugging his puppy to his chest. i thought they were going to hurt me... but you two helped! thank you!
judging by the way the boy is looking up to them with such teary eyes, it seems this isn't something he's used to. the kindness or the fact someone stepped up for him? possibly both, deppresingly enough. ]
