<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>Market Place about the same time.<br/><strong>Tagging :</strong>Li Shin & The Wardens (Sounds like a good name for a 60s band).<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The young thief moved carefully. The Judge was concentrating on various stalls and had gone into a back ally. Heini didn't creep closer, she simply moved. Like a leaf blown by the wind among other leaves, she flowed with the moving crowd. Paying attention to the stalls to either side of the path she walked as she weaved her way through the throng. Just one more anonymous figure among hundreds of others. The slight chill in the air meant her cloak was not conspicuous, plenty of others wore them, and it was designed to look loose and baggy,thus disguising the filled pockets within.<br/><br/>No-one paid her any attention and she closed quickly on her quarry.<br/><br/>Fu Li Shin stopped, and began haranguing a stall holder. There! There was the purse that would contain gold of a certainty! Heini moved with the wind. One moment she was standing with her back to the Judge, at a leather goods stall, examining a cheap looking belt, the next she was directly behind the Judge. It was the perfect moment. The Judge reached out to arrest the hapless potter and Heini's blade reached out for the chord holding the purse in place. And froze!<br/><br/>There was a moment of time in which nothing moved, nothing stirred, The smoke from the incense sticks stopped rising, an insect buzzing around a pie stall stopped in mid-flight.<br/><br/>Heini knew in that frozen instant of time, that she had just been caught in the act.<br/><br/>She finished the move, cut the purse, and stepped up to the stall as innocently as she could. "I need a new rice bowl for my Mistress... Oh, is there a problem?" Inside her robe the blade and purse left her hand into a pocket, the hjand pulling out a different purse.
