NoteThanks for letting me jump in, ladies. This was a fun thread.
The hypnotist felt alone like being on an island. When too many people begin to notice, the push becomes too risky to maintain and thus he watched as the exchange was made. Broken contact and raised suspicion had effectively killed his play. Fortune was not smiling upon him this day so he took hold of the opportunity to create a diversion.
A young man, perhaps fourteen was holding a longspear and observing the argument between the women. The con artist slipped away and stood behind the youth for a few ticks. When the spacing was right in the line of people, the would-be thief shoved his shoulder into the spine of the young Drykas male. The boy’s long and lanky frame extended awkwardly into a half-stumble, half-fall that inadvertently sent the lad sprawling out. He dropped the spear in a failed toss to his right thn opened his arms to try and catch himself upon Merevaika. An expletive slipped through his lips but there was nothing he could do to stop himself. He would either fall into a very intimate hug against the dark-haired woman of=r she’d move and he’d land in the mud.
Either way, the mysterious stranger would use the commotion to slip back towards the city and around a tightly formed camp to a predefined exit plan. Should anyone go looking, he was gone.
