They look up and tilt their head before bowing their head a bit as a thanks. The girl leans over and whispers into the boys ear and chuckles. The boy chuckles as well.
The masked figure turns towards Lester a bit. It wears a green sweater with long sleeves and brown dress pants. It tilts its head.
The Abyss bows deeply to them. "Your wish is my command, young ones."
Lester offers it a magnifying glass.
The children stand up, suddenly remembering their manners. The girl doesnt seem to care but licks her fingers clean as the boy wipes off his face on his sleeve. "Thank.. you" the boy says quietly.
It gently takes it with a dirt caked hand and holds it, gently examining the glass and wood.
"No need for thanks. Simply feel free to call for me, and that will be the only thanks I need."
"It magnifies light. Focuses it onto a smaller point. It can also make things seem bigger when you look through it."
The girl pushes past her brother and hugs the Abyss's leg. The boy hisses and tries to pull her away, giving apologetic smiles to Abyss.
It hands it back and picks up Lester, somehow much stronger than it looks.
The Abyss strokes the girl's hair. It moves its fingers in a deliberate motion as the hair braids itself and deep blue flowers appear in it.
Lester moves his hand closer to his pistol, but doesn't fight back at all.
"Emily.." The boy pulls her away and sighs "Stranger..". The girl huffs and squirms.
It stares at him dead in the eyes.
"You are quite right, young one. You don't know me yet. I am the Abyss. You can call me whenever you need me."
"...please put me down. It makes me uncomfortable to be picked up."

"I am the Abyss, the only living descendant of the Father of Monsters." It silently disarms the Butcher and throws the knife into a dead tree. The Butcher gowls and pulls fists full of knives out of his apron.
"Thank you, sir, madame, or other. Are you able to explain why you have come to this place specifically, or was it just happenstance?"
"W-What are you?" The boy askes and tilts his head.
It shakes its head and continues to stare at Lester.
"I am the Abyss. I am a monster. But I am a friendly one."
Lester puts on a pair of shaded goggles and looks at the sun. "Is there something special about this place? Or is it just a good place to enjoy the sun?"
"I am the Abyss, the only living descendant of the Father of Monsters." It silently disarms the Butcher and throws the knife into a dead tree. The Butcher gowls and pulls fists full of knives out of his apron.
The worm seems sleepy.
'The Father of Monsters? I knew that guy!'

"Yes. He was killed by humans. Please allow me to defend myself, or I may share a similar fate." A knife grazes the Abyss' mask.
