This may not be her world, and she may not have the duty to protect it but that didn't mean she'd turn her back on people that needed her. The call for aid came about when a stall had been robbed, the man made off and none did a thing to prevent his escape. It wasn't their stuff been stolen so why stick their necks out? Yet it wasn't in her nature to let something like that pass her by.
She makes chase, but without the majority of her bending and with limited access to her waterbending the task wasn't as easy as it should be. Breaking free of the crowds to a relatively open area of the street, the thief proves to be a fast runner. Yet it's her luck that they pass a fountain. Without the need to cease running, and with fluid hand movements she gathers the water up, pushing it out to form a curved stream of water. It's then that she freezes it, enabling her to to swiftly slide across it's surface and block the mans path. But again he's ridiculously light on his feet and manages stop in time to retrace his steps. However, as he makes for a nearby alley someone blocks his way, probably unintentional but if they chose to help they could probably stop him. "Hey! A little help would be great right about now!" She calls as she makes to catch up in hopes that the guy would at least trip the thief up.
