Tamar seemed nice enough to the boy who had yet to witness any form of cruelty that surpassed the occasional squabble between siblings. He had no reason to be wary of the kindly woman, especially when there was the possibility that he might get to play with some more kids his age. While he hoped that they might leave promptly, find out where Epoch was and go visit so that he could play right now, he also got the feeling that that wasn't likely to happen. 

Adults talked. 

So he remained quiet, but hopeful still.
