<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/7f/Ibuki_eyes.jpg)</div><strong>Name :</strong>Heini (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=231826.msg11399165#msg11399165)<br/><strong>Element :</strong>火 Fire<br/><strong>Location &amp; Time :</strong>The river bank<br/><strong>Tagging :</strong>Li Shin & The Wardens<br/><br/>Heini giggled. She couldn't help  it. "I bet you rarely get your man, though." The insult was subtle and calculated. She had heard rumours of what the Judge did to prisoners, but they were only rumours. And anyway Heini was not afraid, she clutched the rope in her hands to prevent it slipping and giving away the fact that she was already free. The wardens were the worst knot tiers in the world!<br/><br/>She blinked innocently  at the Judge. "I do beg your pardon, miss, but I have no cloak. I am simply a poor beggar, who chanced to be sleeping in yonder warehouse, when your ruffians startled me. Thinking them to be bandits I ran for my life, somehow ended up in the river from whence they have pulled me. And I have yet to see any evidence that they are<em>not</em>bandits!"<em>And I'd like to see you prove otherwise!</em><br/><br/>The judge seemed to take offence at this, declaring that she was the law and asking if Heini would confess her crimes. Heini shrugged. A hand slipped unnoticed into the pocket of a passerby she stumbled close to, retrieving a purse that she instantly dropped. "Oh, sir, Sir, you have dropped your purse." She called out. The man looked at her and looked down as she pointed with her once again (apparently) bound hands.<br/><br/>"Oh, thank you..." He said, stooping to retrieve it.<br/><br/>Heini hid a smirk. "Your thanks, my lord would be to rescue me from these kidnappers!"<br/><br/>Her plan backfired a little when the man took in the warden and judge and paled, turning away quickly.<em>Oh well, worth a shot.</em><br/><br/>She turned back to Li Shin. "My lady, and I use the term advisedly, The fact that you have not seen my face is down more to your own lack of observation, than anything, for I was raised hereabouts and have lived here for a number of years." This was true and could be proven. In fact Heini was generally adept at keeping herself hidden. Today, she did not know what had come over her. She had been careless, that was true, but more, she had deliberately overreached herself, thinking to cut the purse of the judge.<br/><br/>Why had she done such a foolish thing?<br/><br/>"As for my crimes, if being poor and hungry and homeless are crimes, then I am guilty as charged. But I fear you would need to arrest all the beggars in the world and there would not be a gaol big enough to hold them!"
