"People are going to try to kill me," Trinket said, her tone dead serious. "I need to be able to split their heads before they kill me."
Trinket considered the other girl's idea. It seemed sound. She gave a small nod. "I'll wait near the door. When you distract him, I'll be ready."
Trinket set her doll down by the side of the road. It stood there under its own power. She gave it a simple command: Watch everyone. Dance.
The doll started doing an awkward little dance. Its cloth body was flexible enough, but the sewn-on porcelain arms and legs had no joints to move. But the dancing doll still drew attention to itself. The passerby looked down at the doll, ignoring the two girls in favor of the unusual sight before them. The entire time, the doll looked around, its glass black eyes watching everyone that passed by.
With the street crowd distracted, Trinket moved over towards the door. She gave the other girl a small nod. The blacksmith's assistant was ignoring the doll. It would be up to Trinket's new friend to distract him.
