The Tout

Both Dumby and Flamy were far too big to take the stairs.
Gao Peng led the rest of his familiars up the stairs, leaving those two beneath him.
A couple of heads poked out from the top of the stairs, curiously observing Dumby.
Dumby naturally noticed the little pipsqueaks taking a peek at it in the distance. However, it didn't pay them any mind.
"That's a walking skeleton," muttered one of them.
"It's a monster," one of his friends corrected him.
"An ugly-looking one."
"Ugh, it's so ugly. It doesn't even have any flesh!"
"What does a walking skeleton need flesh for?"
"I once picked on this pile of bones," one of the bigger boys loudly proclaimed.
"Rubbish. There's no way you would dare do such a thing..."
"What's there to be afraid of?" The boy picked up a stone and threw it at Dumby.
The stone spun a few times through the air until it landed at Dumby's feet.
