a free bird soars, a caged bird sings
The port, the place Lirsi probably spent most of her time, was more often lonely, than anything else. It was... the place she continually hoped she would learn information about her family; her brother, she had to assume he was dead, by this point. Hope had flickered and eventually been extinguished.
Especially when she learned from a survivor, that the ship had been destroyed at sea. So, she'd stopped looking. If he was gone, like her mothers', then she really had just herself. No need to linger on things that could not be changed.
She was heading towards a ship that had just docked, sailors disembarking. Sailors fresh from the sea were good targets to steal from or to gather information from, as was the trade of the business.
She honed in on one particular man, who caught her eye. He looked like he probably had something that was worthwhile. "Hey, mister." Her tone was casual, as she stopped in front of him. "Anything I can help you find?"
