Snippet #1894275

Lynx held back as the man neared the guards. She didn’t dare go closer. She had disguised herself fairly well, but she feared that there might be some guards among the upper ranks who would recognize her nonetheless. She watched as the man risked his neck to save the child and frowned in confusion.

Why would he do such a thing? After having just stolen the purses of two people it would have been smartest if he had run, but instead he’d stop to rescue an out of luck girl. Lynx didn’t think he was actually related to her, she seemed far too surprised at his arrival for that to be true. So what would posses him to help the girl? It wasn’t something she would have done. Lynx shrugged, chances were he was just a better person than she was.

Lynx ran ahead of the man and girl until she found a shadowy alleyway. She waited until they were near enough and then stepped out in front of them. Ever one for theatrics she smiled as she walked up to the two, as if they were old friends.

Upon reaching them she continued to smile and asked, “Excuse me sir, but I believe you stole my purse. I’d appreciate it if you would return it to me.” Her words and her smile were kind enough but her eyes were like ice as they glared at him. Her words carried a double meaning as well, she wouldn’t fight him if he chose to give her the purse willingly.
