all my troubles on a burning pile
Rigby wandered through the crowds, toying briefly with the faded gold ring at his ear. Easy, nonchalant, quiet; so unremarkable they wouldn't expect a thing. Until of course it's gone from their side, or their purse, or whatever other place one would store something of interest. Rigby hated interacting with people at the best of times, but stealing was something different. It wasn't just a way to survive, it was fun, exhilarating, and he fucking loves a rush.
After a while he came across a less populated area in the streets of Haulani, and noticed a girl. Shorter, dark hair, facing away. At her side there was a knife, and not just any rusty old knife, but a good one. The kind of thing he could trade for something better, like food or drink. God he could use a drink, or a new pack of smokes. He headed her direction, appearing unimposing, like just another teenage boy.
He just brushed past her, but deft fingers pulled the knife from it's sheath and slid it up his billowy black sleeves. He always wore dark clothes with lots of room for hiding things, keep it close and hidden. He looked back after he passed her, holding up his hand in apology for bumping into her, then continued forwards like nothing had happened. Into the crowd, hopefully out of sight.
