Bill tried to ignore it, but something about the gaze of some children can pierce iron. Every time he glances that way she's there, looking at him. He's not comfortable around children, like this - they tend to notice, and stare. Usually their parents bustle them away. This doesn't seem to be happening this time.

It would hardly do for him to retreat. This was a child!

ER... he starts, then stops. HELLO.
