She watched the hedgehog snuffling at her palm, and smiled a little when it started licking at the creases it found there.

Eventually she noticed the boy looking at her, and looked back. Then looked at the man standing in front of them. Then looked back at the boy and suggested, "He's probably the conductor."

This was followed by explaining to the man, "I would give you my ticket but I'm currently holding a hedgehog."

But the fact that this kid was so weirded out by his appearance only made him suspicious that he was hoping there wouldn't be any adults on board.

He furrowed his brow slightly at the boy's female companion. Was that the only logical deduction? Ansley supposed it was a good guess, but.. "I sure hope I'm not meant to be the conductor," he said giving her a knowing smile. "Because I'm not sure who is currently driving the train while I'm back here.." Aaaand they'd probably wreck if the train was moving along unmanned.

Jaemin busied himself with trying to unknot the plastic baggie of treat-smush while the man talked; he was still listening, but he wasn't quite sure what the guy meant. He looked up as he finally got it open and fished out one of the mostly-whole treats to hold out to the hedgehog in the girl's hands. Sniffler sniffed at it before dutifully chomping down, and Jaemin was free to look up again. Why were old people so very tall?

"But why are you going to-" waaaaaaait a minute. If he wasn't a conductor, and he very clearly wasn't a student... Jaemin squinted at him suspiciously. "You're not meant to be a teacher, are you?"

He was old, but he wasn't old. There was a difference and this man was clearly not old enough to be a teacher.
