The Take Over, the Break’s Over | Dio & Lila
@unoculus
In the marketplace, Lila looked at some items, wondering what she should take. Luckily, around Hiraeth, it was always nighttime, so it was easy to slip something from a stand into her pocket without anyone noticing. Most of these stalls weren't protected with anti-theft spells.
Lila was weary of her surroundings when stealing, making sure that nobody else saw what she was doing. After all, it would’ve been terrible thievery if somebody did. A group of boys that looked younger than her - probably other students from Hiaeth - passed by the stall, not giving her a second glance. They were being loud and rambunctious, jostling each other and clearly being an annoyance to other people: the perfect distraction for Lila.
She grabbed something off of a table. It looked to be a gemstone or something but for Lila it was something she could sell off herself. Whatever its purpose was, it was hers now. The boys that had passed her were now laughing even louder than before, clearly having something to laugh at. Out of curiousity, Lila looked over at the group, seeing that a smaller boy was the target of their laughter.
There was no need to get involved, but Lila still decided to keep an eye on them. There were five boys in the group, all of them either the same size or slightly larger than the boy they were laughing at. All of them were smaller than Lila, however. Even though it seemed harmless for now, five versus one definitely wasn’t a fair fight.
It was only when two boys took knives out of their pockets that Lila took out her own, making her way to the group.
It wasn’t her business. But damn, it was about to become her business.
