He is obviously on the lookout for something, or perhaps someone. But what else would he be looking for so early and on such a quiet day besides us? Obviously, he is seeking to round us up - an easy task, since we have all been marked with these ridiculous amulets! [He gives the necklace another irritable tug. Like the last thirty times, it doesn't break.]
