The repeated sounds do make their way under Bruno's defences, but what really worms its way in is those words. He looks back at Kronid, a sad look flashing across this face. But while Bruno is taken in by these words and sounds, the house becomes... restless. The tiles shiver beneath their feet.
Bruno looks down at them. "It's okay, Casita," he says. "Just a stranger."
The house doesn't seem much calmer, though.
A voice can be heard: "Bruno, did you find out what was going on?" A slim red-haired woman in a yellow and orange dress steps into view. Her eyes narrow slightly, even more suspiciously than Bruno's had done. "Who's this?"
"Just a traveler, Pepa," he answers. "He's cold and hungry."
A beat, then her expression softens a bit. "Bringing in stray people, now?" She looks at Kronid. "I'm Pepa."
