[ Hook had been about to answer about the sledgehammer, but was interrupted by the voice of a young girl. He couldn't see her, tilting his head back and putting both of his arms out. It had to be a child first, didn't it? Not that children couldn't be more dangerous than most adults. That was something he learned some time ago. ]

[ Well. He and Scratch were anyway, so it wasn't a lie and even sounded quite honest. ]

[ He gave a look to Scratch, raising his eyebrows as though to say get ready to shoot as soon as you can see her. ]
