The strong lads and the crowd behind them were becoming increasingly impatient with Yin's observations, and he with theirs. They did not respect his authority on the matters at hand, which in turn proved their ignorance. However he knew he could not let his agitation surface, the tension in the air would only worsen and his initial optimism would become sullied by it. As Yin considered this a young boy darted by, stopping only briefly to apologize for knocking into one of the strong lads. Though the boy (whom on closer inspection seemed more of a teen) was himself knocked over, there was no gratitude or apology offered to him in return.<br/>"Fuck off you little creep, you're looking at the next kung-fu master!" One shouted obnoxiously. This received some laughs from the other strong lads, and they watched as the young one scampered off. Yin, with his discerning mind and keen eye, knew that the greater comedy lay within the boy's hands.<span style="font-style: italic">His movement was far beyond that of any normal human, I knew this day would be lucky.</span>Yin thought ecstatically. Then, quite suddenly, Yin sprang next to the boy and took hold of his arm.<br/>"You! I saw what you did boy. That was some interesting slight of hand." Yin said, a jovial tone to his voice. As he spoke, he reached over and plucked the wallet from the boy's hands, a smile on his face as he did. "You've got the skill boy, these people could never move like that. Did you know that?" Yin asked, but any chance of an answer was interrupted by a young woman who quite (though notably bold) obnoxiously addressed him. Before responding Yin, without a word, threw the wallet to its respective strong lad, who bemusedly caught it.<span style="font-style: italic">He didn't even notice.</span>Yin thought dryly.<br/>"These people made me feel nostalgia for my own people," Yin said with a shrug. "There isn't any other reason than that. I just thought to myself 'why not here?' You know?" He said with a smile. He paused for a moment then, his mind suddenly tuning into his spiritual sense. He noted the reserved strengths of both the young boy and the young woman that stood in front of him.<span style="font-style: italic">Another one? I guess that accounts for her boldness, </span>Yin thought with amusement.<span style="font-style: italic">I don't know which power is working here, fate, God, coincidence or karma. But something is smiling down at me today,</span>Yin thought with glee. "I had a feeling though that I'd be lucky." Yin said knowingly. "You either want to be worthy, or you think you are worthy of my time, right?." Yin asked rhetorically. "If that is so, and we are measuring by worth, then by law the worth must be proven! But how?" Yin asked, again rhetorically."I've got it! if you want to prove your worth to me, come and meet me out there on the slopes." Yin pointed to a road that led out of the town. "And we shall see if it is valuable." Yin concluded. As he did so he let go of the boy's arm and addressed him too, "Same goes for you boy. Lets go." Yin motioned for him to follow as he took up his things and began to stride through the parting crowds.<br/>As he did so, another young man approached, storming through the crowd like an ape. Yin found this kind of behavior crass, and decided to intercept his path to stop him from barging into anyone else. "What do you think you are doing? I know you aren't blind boy." Yin said snappily.
