Marcus stood in the middle of the town. His face was staring at the shiny sword being held up by the blacksmith. The man was trying to sell it but he was asking way more the Marcus had.. though he was sure as hell going to own that sword even if he had to steal it... even if he had to steal it...

He pushed his black hair away from his face and began to inch in the direction of the blacksmith. He hide down below the counter on the outside... all he had to do was wait for the man to put it down and he would be ready to strick.. the sword would be his...

That was until someone tapped him on the shoulder. "Hay kid.. what are you." "AH I DID"NT DO ANYTHING!" He yelled as he jumped to his feet and began to rush off in the direction he had come.

Yeah.. another day for Marcus...a traveling idiot.

Nearby, a young girl with equally black hair and dark brown eyes watched with an amused stare. She couldn't help but laugh loudly as the boy stared at the sword and by the looks of it, he wanted to steal it? Wow... What an odd way of stealing a sword. Before she knew, some man had gone up and tapped his shoulder... And the man began to talk... Until the boy jumped up, screamed and ran the direction he had came from.

"Wow..." the girl whistled loudly as she began to move and easily swiped an apple from some merchant who wasn't paying much attention. Walking over to the blacksmith, she casually looked around at the swords and her eyes stared at the one the boy was trying to steal. She merely flashed a small smile at the blacksmith, acting like she was just browsing. She had to think for a moment, how to take the sword without anyone noticing? Even though she had been a thief for a long while, she had yet to perfect her art.

I need that boy... She mused mentally before she turned around and decided to look for him.

Marcus, now that he had chickened out.. and now that he was free of people watching him, as he was hidden behind a tree just outside the town, peered around before he leaned his head on said tree and closed his eyes. "ugh.. Maybe I should go home..." Thought, he didn't really seem to have what it took to live out on his own.. yeah sure he was pretty big, and he was strong, but he didn't have a job, so he couldn't buy a weapon and with out a weapon a big guy like him couldn't find a job.

He crossed his arms and looked up at the sky. "Ah well.. I knew when I came out here nothing was just ganna fall in to plac

e for me.."

The girl continued to search; however, it was clear that she had lost him. Dark eyes narrowed with annoyance... The guy was big and she had lost him? An irritated sigh escaped from her lips as she looked around. "Let's see... If I were him, where would I be...? Well, that won't answer anything since I don't even know him!" And after another few moments, she found the big oaf... Nestled into a tree. Blinking, she casually walked over to him, her eyes glinting with mischievous as she leaned against the said tree.

"Hello there~!" she greeted with a cheerful smile.

Marcus blinked as the girl walked up to him... she just walked up to him and spoke to him like it was nothing.. No one ever did that. He sat up a bit and tilted his eyes to the side while he watched her carefully. He considered many things, was she crazy? Stupid? Lost? "Uh.. Can I help you?" At least he was being a bit more polite then he was thinking.

"Hay.. I saw you in town.. are you fallowing me?" S uprising enough, he had managed to notice people while he was flailing about town.
