[And whatever else Hubert had been expecting was a lesser concern than that. He could sympathize with that, at least. Even if "children have been disappearing outside of the wall" was a questionable time to employ such logic.]
[But Hubert lets that point lie for now, sighing quietly through his nose. Tonight was already long. It was shaping up to be so much terribly longer. He'd have to stay as far back behind the lines as possible, and a moment to revitalize himself back at the house...]
