The people were little flies, the boy figured as he sat upon an upturned barrel that once might have contained oil or beer, or something of the like. He gnawed on a tried piece of salty meat and watched the general crowd go about their business as usual. They all looked like flies crawling over a carcass, or maybe, if you wanted to be poetic, like butterflies swarming the flowers on a field. Butterflies might be more appropriate, as several of the people were dressed in colorful clothing and wigs crowned with flowers and what not.
Needle was a fifteen year old orphan who lived on the streets, making his living as a whore and a pick pocket, was dressed in a dirty shirt that had been white once, a leather west, simple pants and bare feet. His hair fell in dirty tresses in front of his face, unstyled, unpowdered and messy.
He spat on the ground, jumped down from the barrel and started to make his way through the crowd, and after a while he purposely bumped into a gentleman, quickly snatched the man's pouch and made a run for it, just as the man started to holler:
"THIEF!"
The man was however, large and obviously new in these parts of town, as Needle soon enough managed to outrun him, only to bump into someone in front of him.
