Snippet #1013156

Raena walked the streets of Tokyo, hands locked behind her head. She focused on the sky as she walked, very minorly trying to avoid people. She would pass through here as she had many time before, hoping she would see some sign of someone needing a mercenary, though it was highly unlikely. Most people here didn't have trouble with anything at all. Some would have trouble with a customer not paying, or trying to steal, but nothing mercenary grade work. It was rather angering. But Raena wasn't worried. She had more that enough money saved up from her past jobs...

The red-haired woman let out a loud sigh as her stomach rumbled. She knew that it was just about time to eat anyway. She turned down another street, following the smells of food being cooked. She walked past a park, smirking at it. She would stop and admire the scenery. She particularly liked the water; she loved the water, loved to swim too. She might go in search of a lake soon too. It had been too long since she had enjoyed the waters last.

Suddenly, a boy bumped into Raena's side, almost knocking her over. He raced past her, not even looking behind him. "Hey! Little prick! Watch where you're goin', huh?!" She called to him angrily. She grumbled to herself, before taking a step, before her ears detected something. Or rather, the lack of something.

Her coinpurse.

Raena's eyes shot to her waist, where her coinpurse previously was, to find it gone, the leather string ripped right from it. Her head shot back to the boy, whom was still running off. "HEY! You filthy little pickpocket! GET BACK HERE!" She shouted, taking off after the boy. Clearly, she was faster than him, dispite being only a foot or so taller than him. She was catching up to him fast...but then she saw what the boy was waiting for: The crowds and crowds of people in the main marketplace. The boy was small enough to bob and weave through the peoples, without losing much speed...however, Raena was a little too big to try the same, so she instead ended up crashing into who knows how many people, her arms motioned for people to get out of her way, but as their path cleared, the boy would go to where the people had moved to. This kept her at bay, unable to catch him. "S-someone get that kid!" She called agressively, pointing to the child running away from her.
