William glanced at Trenton, noting the immediate overreaction, the surprise, the attempt to repel the accusation of 'murderer' as fast as possible. Personally, whether or not the kid was an actual murderer didn't bother him much; it wasn't as if any of them were armed (a fact he was slightly unnerved by, at least as far as himself being unarmed went), and one person trying to kill three? No. Didn't make sense.
Didn't stop the girl from egging him on, though Chris at least had the right idea. Will looked over the riddle one more time before putting his back to the wall next to it. (Old habits died hard.) The faster they came to a conclusion and settled this problem, the faster they could keep going and get on with it. 'Sing this rhyme' seemed straightforward enough, and it got them out of the way, in any case.
For the moment, he was silent. Whatever he might think of adding wasn't going to help the situation, probably.
