This Piece of Me

[Chrysalis]

Hussaini cocked his head to the right, and eyed the little boy up and down while he listened to him. It occurred to him that he was very eloquent for a kid while he spoke, and Hussaini first crossed his arms, then placed one finger over his mouth while nodding, as if offering some sort of mock interest for the boy's words. He grimaced for a moment when the boy finished, as if in deep thought, then offered a smile to the little thing.

"Well, lead on then, most illustrious guide..." - He motioned with his hand into the distance with a serious look on his face, and the boy took point, seemingly content with himself. Hussaini followed slowly, reducing his pace so that the boy stays in front of him, all the while glancing around the station suspiciously. He wondered what sort of game Thrax was playing, sending a child to meet him. It amused him, but he felt something was off nonetheless.

Passing by some people, he occasionally tensed up, ready to lash out at any sign of conspiracy. The kid, however, obliviously walked towards their destination with a hop in his step, and soon enough, they arrived at a small alley-like corridor, leading down to a single door at the end. The kid stopped for a moment, and looked at Hussaini, before continuing down the corridor. Hussaini stopped as well, took one last look around, squinting as he scanned his surroundings. Might as well go through with it, he thought to himself and shrugged before picking up pace again, down the corridor, towards the door.
