The complete disconnect between his demeanor and outlook gave a shivering, frightful feel to the onlookers. Even Sarah, who knew more about this boy than the rest was startled a bit.

"Is that blood?" Sarah asked looking at Aiden's discolored, messy right arm.

"This?" Raising his arm in front of him, he looked at his hand closer. "Most likely." Giving it a brief thought, he shrugged, answering calmly. Keeping his arm raised, he turned his attention shifting it to the worried-looking girl. 

"Do you have something I can use to clean it?" He asked as the friendly smile returned once more to his face.
