Castle Town Market, Noon
"Now listen- *urk*!"
Kalien was lifted forcibly off of his feet at the towering shopkeeper glared balefully into his eyes.
"Now YOU listen, you little slime. I don't know where you come from, but we don;t take kindly to thieves in in Hyrule."
Kalien sighed, took a deep breath, and kicked the shopkeeper firmly in the groin. With a howl of pain, the beefy man dropped the young man and clutched at his crotch, even as the young rogue scooped up a small melon and a handful of dates, running like all hell to escape the guardsmen who were already on their way to the disturbance.
He set a zigzag course through the town, ducking between several market patrons, and rolling under the skirts of one very surprised lady as he ran to beat the devil.

Up on the rooftops, a Sheikah lept from rooftop to rooftop, eyes closed as she performed a graceful flip near the edge of a roof, standing tall and listening to an incoming comotion. She opened her eyes, though they seemed faded in color, and looked at nothing.

For all of his speed, Kalien hadn;t counted on being the onyl thing the guards would be paying attention to... He found himself surrounded by several armored men, all of them closing in.
The things I do for lunch...
Knowing better than to stand and fight the entire assembled guard of Hyrule Castle town, he drew his hookshot from his belt, aimed it at the edge of a nearby rooftop, and zipped up and away from his pursuers, flipping up over the dge of the roof with practiced grace.
Grace that vanished instantly when he realized he wasn't alone on the rooftop. He backpedalled and almost fell over the edge, catching himself just in time.

The Sheikah's head tilted slightly to his direction.
"Careful."
Meanwhile, on the ground, the guards circled the house.
"Lady Toru!" one of them cried, "Don't let him get away, he's a thief!!"

Kalien blinked at the sheikah, then looked back down to the guards.
"Uh... stand back! I'm a dangerous man!"
It would've been more intimidating if he hadn't been busily fumbling dates into his pockets.

Still not directly looking at him, Toru seemed to sigh lightly as she walked casually towards him.
"Lady Toru, be careful!" A guard cried out.

Kalien, utterly unnerved by her creepy "stare," juggled the melon back over his shoulder, where it fell to the street, splattering several of the guards with its juices.
Oh hell...
He tried to roll around to her left, towards the center of the roof, away from the edge.

Toru side-stepped to face him the second he attempted this.
"Don't make this difficult, please." She held a hand to her tanto.

A tall, thin lanky "man" walked out for a shadow corner. He gave a laugh.
"Toru, take it easy," the voice from this man came out soft and refined. Kino smoothed his hand over his short hair as he walked closer.
"Common theif. Does he even have a weapon? Looks like he's hungry is all." Kino, however, also took out his tanto. He looked to the theif with a smile.
"That's right? Isn't it? You have no money for food!" Kino said with a chuckle.

"Kino, I was taking care of this...." Toru said dejected, ungripping her weapon.

Kino's soft eyes looked at her.
"I couldn't resist. My apologies." Kino looked at her and then to the theif. "Say, what are you going to do with him anyway?"

Kalien, taking advantage of their little conversation, started running.
As he did, the Sheikah who could pereive such things caught a glimpse of metal flashing in the noonday sun, off of the two long knives stuck through the man's belt.
Knives he had not tried to touch as yet.

Kino dashed after him and tackled him to the ground. Their bodies crashed into the ground.
"Whoa, not so fast," Kino pressed his weight into the theif. "So you are armed."

His response was to roll both of them towards the edge of the rooftop. He wasn't interested in chatting with the person trying to arrest him, it would seem.

Toru's arm gripped the collar of Kalien's clothes as Kino dropped harmlessly to the ground below, most likely on his own Sheikah feet. With him dangling near the edge of the roof, Toru pulled him back up, pointing her unsheathed tanto at him, but still not really looking at him.
"As I was saying.."

He finally lost his temper.
"Oh, what?! Ths junk isn't even for me. So go ahead, lock me up, cut my throat, whatever."

Kino looked up with a serious look on his face. Had the man been more pleasent about his own sitiution, Kino wouldn't care. Everyone has to eat. But losing his temper wasn't the right way to deal with this.
Kino was ready in case a weapon was drawn, or a fight were to break out.

Toru's brow furrowed.
"What do you take us for? This is Hyrule."
Toru's head tilted downwards, her voice directed at the guards.
"I will deal with him." She dismissed the guards, and as they left, she withdrew her blade.
"Follow me.. unless you do want to end up locked up."
She walked past him and lept to the next rooftop.

"I take you for some sort of law, lady."
He didn't seem to be in any hurry about moving

Kino climbed back onto the rooftop and was luming over the theif.
"You heard her."

Kino rolled his red eyes.
"You heard her. Just follow if you don't want anything bad to happen."
Kino placed his hands on the man's back and gave him a light shove.

"You'll regret that."
He made no aggressive move, but reluctantly followed the first Sheikah, mentally reviewing his options.

Kino sighed and followed behind the theif. Toru upfront and Kino in the back, seemed like a good plan in his mind.

In a small park..
Toru stopped and turned to Kaelin.
"You said it wasn't for you. What do you mean?"

He glared at her.
"I mean it's not for me. I can get a meal from one of the soup kitchens with no headache. It's for Polly."

"Yeah. Polly. She can't exactly dig into soup, y'know? And the orchards around here are guarded tighter'n most houses."

"Polly's my friend. From back home."
He shifted from one foot to the other.
"She can eat bugs when she's starving, but it doesn;t help her much. She just needs some fruit."
