The woman they should have paid attention to had hair just as likely to remind you of a burning flame as her eyes would make you think of ice. The lack of whispers about her in the crowd was something the young woman wished to change...though if she continued to be good at her 'profession' it was unlikely there would be whispers at all. At least among the general populace. Grandeur aside, Shay (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=860017) was still trying to suppress her grin as she disembarked the<em>Whaleroad Runner</em>; it was good to know that Seahurst wouldn't be a city of prunes if their colossal guardian, with his equally colossal manhood, were anything to go by. At the very least they didn't have the heart to castrate such a piece of art in the act of preserving modesty.<br/><br/>Shay moved with the crowds, allowing herself to be swallowed up and swept along. Her home across the sea had been crowded and she was used to moving among throngs of people. Nothing was more unnerving to Shay than an empty town. She made her way to the trade quarter, or whatever it was Seahurst called the heart of its commerce. Finding an inn could wait. With the city bustling as it was, Shay could think of nothing more worth her time than soaking up the local color...and the local rumors.<br/><br/>Her choice of traveling clothes were, or so she hoped, to be rather unassuming...if still comfortably with a bit of style. From her feet, the eyes would be drawn up from sturdy boots made for walking to thigh-high stockings. The eyes may lag and linger on their way to the knee-length green skirt. The coat she wore was unbuttoned, letting those who took notice to look at her blouse and the way it hugged her assets. Shay would offer a knowing smile to those that did take notice before taking a few calculated steps and letting the crowds swallow her up. Once at the marketplace, Shay would go window shopping, whether at actual store fronts or at any stalls that may have been set up. The goal then wasn't to pilfer in broad daylight. It was to scope out some information about how the city operated. Shay's main concern was whether or not she would have a proper guild of thieves to contend with.
