WHO: Aiden Berne and Elinora Samson WHERE: Crystalpine, Marketplace WHEN: Nightfall
"Stop! Thief!" If the nobleman's guards did not succeed in hunting him down, Aiden knew the rest of his troupe friends would kill him. He went off to the marketplace by himself and left a note stuck to Gideon's forehead with a bit of adhesive. He thought it was a brilliant idea until later remembering the fact Gideon did not take to pranks well and he did not know how to read. So Aiden's note of "Went to grab some food -- Aiden" might have been discarded without so much as a curious thought of its origin. Or perhaps Gideon would ask Thomas what the note read and they would come after him, rescuing him just in time. In time for what?
"THIEF!"
Just in time to rescue him from the armored hands of Belwall knights, who had accompanied a noble to the marketplace. They witnessed Aiden plucking a few pieces of fruit from the noble's basket of purchases and this was an action that would not go ignored. Aiden raced through the marketplace and hoped he could successfully get out of this one all by himself. He supposed he should have listened to Thomas' advice not to go it alone. Racing through the stands, he jumped behind one and hid underneath the covered area. This earned a few curious stares from a group of children. Aiden tossed them all that he received and they smiled graciously, and then acted busy so they would not earn attention from the guards. They were more in need of the food anyway. On days like this he hated the fact breakfast was supposedly the most important meal of the day.
