Testing the Waters

[honoriamharlowe]

The Bazaar is busy today. Well, it's always busy. But Honoria is enjoying the thrumming of humanity and other human-like things that pass around her. She feels that it gives her a kind of cover. It protects her from what she is about to do.

Honoria is looking for a mark.

She's always been quiet and unobtrusive. If a servant is seen or heard, they are

Cecile is walking slowly through the Bazaar, humming a quiet little tune while waving a closed fan. When Honoria bumps into her, she looks at her, "Oh my, you do seem to be in a rush!" She opens her fan and starts fanning herself.

As Honoria reaches for a coin purse she bumps her hip into Honoria's side, "Oh my dearest me, that won't do at all!" If Honoria lets her, she will reach over to steal something in return.

Honoria isn't carrying much of value, mainly because she hadn't planned to buy anything. This was a very focused trip to the Bazaar. She does feel Cecile's hand close on a knife, which is a little worrying, and so she tries to step out of the way. Unfortunately, the closeness of the people in the Bazaar make this difficult, and so now she has left Cecile holding a cheap knife, while Honoria is holding nothing.

Honoria isn't quite sure what to do at this point, as all of the scenarios she had conceived ended in success. She finds another knife on her person and keeps her hand on the hilt, just in case.

For not the first in her life, she wishes that she had something witty to say.

"Give that back!" Honoria hisses, mindful of the presence of a few burly and unforgiving looking constables.

"Oh, very well." She holds out the knife, holding it by the blade, "You are a cute little one, aren't you?" Cecile snaps her fan shut and puts it into her hair.

"Oui, I have decided. Come with me."

Honoria blinks twice. She isn't mad?

Cute?

Gingerly she takes the knife back, putting it away. "You've decided what?" she asks. "And where...where are we going?"
