"-- oh! The young ghost boy!"

The reaction is immediate. Break and his omen both perk up in unison, though of course it's far more obvious on a dog -- Baltus's ears emerge from where they usually lay against his fur, pricking upwards in a way that makes him look decidedly like a horse, and his tail swings up and begins to swish. For Break's part, he turns away from the wall entirely, abandoning the issue of the strange beastie.

"It's sweet of you to worry, but there's no need. We did run across a few of the wicked ones, but this one makes sure I don't get into anything I shouldn't." He is referring to Baltus, of course, and pats his omen's bum in emphasis. Even if he were still blind he would be able to tell where it was, on account of Baltus is smacking him repeatedly with his tail as he sniffs daintily at Peter's hand and his snake friend in turn. "Your friend is doing alright, I hope?"
