Clock tower - Deaths, Julian De'Ath

[taennyn]

The clock towers were singing three in the morning when she emerged from the metró, tolling out the hour.

She hadn't been made on the train--though there'd been a close shave--but repairs on the roman road leading into the city exchanges from 'rock falls' had taken considerable time and delayed her arrival.

Arriving separately had its advantages: nobody was waiting for her.

--hm. Well. Not waiting for her, specifically, but there was definitely someone waiting in the alley, lurking behind a discarded armoire.

Her scythe was traveling in a Weyland's wagon, due to arrive in several days. She'd decided it was too iconic to smuggle aboard a carriage, but had successfully kept a rapier on her person the entire time.

Unfortunately taking a sword to a thief would make noise she couldn't afford yet; they needed a hideaway before anyone started splashing around to attract the local sharks.

She could hand over her wallet, she supposed. There was very little money in it.

She could also try calling the thief's bluff.

"I see you back there," she announced, deliberately tenor. "I don't want any trouble."

"Uh," the alley replied, sounding very young, then running steps suggested they'd decided it wasn't worth it.

They might come back with friends.

Eh. She'd deal with it if it happened.

So nonchalant, isn't she.
