<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">Sirrah was not an intelligent creature, nor did he claim to be. However, he was a textbook example of an Incubus and he had the blessing of common sense and perceptiveness in a less-than-perfect situation. One thing and one thing only was different about the slums today and it was this that Sirrah found himself drawn to. It was not the woman herself who attracted Sirrah, but instead the fact that she was handing out coins to all and sundry. Pushing through the thronging crowd, Sirrah realised that it was largely futile and far too dangerous. Better that the crowd see another beggar than a weakened demon. He turned to leave the scene.<br/><br/>His stomach wrenched and he stooped suddenly, grimacing at the pain that accompanied it. A low, pained growl caught the attention from a couple of individuals, but they soon stopped caring. Sirrah was forced to push himself up and to scan the crowd properly; none of them had anything worth taking. She, on the other hand, had a large amount of wealth and was very, very vulnerable. It wouldn't take much to take her away and no doubt she didn't know how to fight- she seemed to be overwhelmed and afraid of the crowds and the pestilence around her. Sheltered life, presumably. If he was swift enough, he'd be able to take her and be done with her before they found him. Assuming she had enough valuables on her, he would be returned to enough strength to assume a much less conspicious form. <br/><br/>To hell with it, then- he'd have to do things the difficult way.<br/><br/>Keeping the sheet tightly wrapped around him and knotted to avoid losing it, Sirrah utilised the Incubi's phenomenal speed and dexterity by knocking down a fellow member of the crowd to use as a step. Using his strong hands and feet as firm grips, and clawed fingers and toes as safetyholds, he sprang atop the crowd and darted towards the woman with inhuman movements. The jerky, erratic patterns made it difficult for him to be predicted or grabbed at and soon enough, he was reaching down to take hold of the woman by the back of her clothes, attempting to hoist her out of the crowd.  </span>
