[Excuse you. If Drift is bumbling around it's because he's putting extra effort into not leaving a giant mess in his wake. It's a narrow street for someone his size, so top speed certainly isn't a thing he's anywhere near to achieving, which explains why a herd of small children are successfully giving chase.
Except suddenly they aren't...
Drift skids to a halt, pivoting to take stock of his tail--the child-mob, not the cottontail they are certain he must have somewhere--to see them all crowded around a broad shouldered human stranger. They seemed enthralled by something, to the point that the one child who seems intent on climbing something, even this craggy old man, pauses to watch the flash of a bit of silver. Drift won't admit to being intrigued himself--clearly he should approach to thank this individual for creating a masterful distraction!--but he only closes half the distance, lest he regain then unwanted attention.
Once the crowd clears out he moves forward slowly, curiously, quietly...until that one Undauntable Child appears from an alleyway, two kliks before he adheres himself to Drift's leg.]
Ack!! [This is his Not Amused Face, but with a sigh, it becomes his Resigned to Being a Jungle Gym Face. They're harmless, aren't they? Except maybe to his dignity...]
