[ His eyes go even wider at "homunculus" and "wouldn't make a kid." It's not something that is a formal concept back home, not a specific thing, but "homunculus" is a technical term he'd read in the books about Grimwalkers, sometimes used to describe artificially constructed entities. So, when books were referencing Grimwalkers and free-standing abominations as a group when talking about man-made beings, he'd seen it come up.]
[Does he only know what they are by that word because it's a more general concept? Is there a chance he's a Grimwalker but only has a basic idea of what he is and not the specifics?]
[He hisses at him.] Shh! Don't say that so loud! Nobody knows what I am!
[He looks around frantically trying to desperately make sure no one overheard, especially not someone he knows or that might know someone he knows.]
[He looks around and sees a hallway that leads to doors that possibly are some management area. The hallway doesn't seem heavily trafficked. It's a quieter place they can without anyone overhearing but still opens to the store proper so he's not dragging some strange man off to somewhere where they're alone. It's just a little more out of the way but still visible so he can scream over-dramatically like a terrified child if he wants strangers to get spooked and call the authorities.]
[(Because if he's some secret Grimwalker, what if he works for his unc - for Belos still? Best to play it safe and go slightly more private but not entirely private where the stranger might try to kill him for the glory of the Emperor.)]
Also why do you have wings?! Is that a power you got when you showed up here?
[He grabs the man by the wrist with both hands and tugs. There are plenty of adults he'd be able to bowl right over, but while Hunter's not necessarily small at 5'8," the stranger is comparatively huge. (Still doesn't mean he isn't a Grimwalker because Belos is an extremely tall man so his brother possibly was).]
[...There's also the fact that not everyone likes to be grabbed, but Hunter's a bit too panicked right now to worry about that consideration. He's more worried about not being overheard.]
[Oh, they will just laugh about this miscommunication later. Laugh and laugh... (Not).]
