I stayed perched on the ledge of on old market building that crumpled at the slightest movement. Annoyingly, this was the best position of my task, but the worst circumstances for staying quite. I left bread crumps her for months to let locals be used to birds hanging around her so suspicious won't grow at random crumbles of stone dusting the ground bellow. The only draw back is that the damn birds excepted me as one of there own. They share my food exchange for random thing they find around the city they like. So far I have 20 single earrings, 5 necklaces chains with no pendants, 4 rings, a nail, a broken gear, 15 unique stones, and a watch that I don't know how the bird carried. It works.... and expansive. Now a Good Samaritan would return this things right? But now these birds are my children now so I'll keep every damn present they give me no matter how bend-out of shape it is. Only if I could teach them to be my little spies and collect valuable info from my foo.... or prank my colleagues. Which ever comes first I guess.
My target was walking down the streets in a robe desperately need of a wash or to be burned as it's to unraveled to survive a wash. The robe barely concealed the richer clothing underneath. The noble in disguise probably thought it was low enough quality to work, but that could pay a life time of rent in any of theses buildings. Probably could buy half the market with just the boots alone. I would take those from his cold body like everything else I like and that is valuable to my nations will being and disaster making decisions. Ah, yes the kingdom of fucked up people with history of violence who some how are more humane and chaotically peaceful than the rest. Yes, the assassin who stealing the boot of a victim just said that. I'm shocked too.

The noble was thin for man and had smaller feet so they'll work.

'You done with your stealing lost?' Shadow asked through our link.

'Nah, I think I'll take his like for my bird children.' I smirk at a black with sky blue markings on it head for the sky magic it hold it in little being.

'Ugh! I thought we talked about this! We can't just take a flock of birds or any other beast you befriend across the magic gates... it takes forever!' I could practically feel his overwhelmed frustration with me since we learned that animals like me naturally than him. why may you ask? Because he's mainly a nature oriented elf who can't keep things alive on his own, his most good at killing and tea making. And I? Well I more of a multi-orientated and mix ethical creature of magic. We like say a disaster and chaotic orientated. Is fun sometimes to watch people try to figure out what your are and be completely dumbfounded as you grin mischievously and whisper "I'm your worst nightmare." Or "I'm everything but you". Which brings shadow to point at spoon, while being like there's your cousin.

Taking about spoons the noble has fidgeting with one for the past several minutes. Also since the noble sucks at disguises, everyone knew he was a noble with no knowledge of of the markets here work. So as good store owners, they made him pay 10x the normal cost of things he touched too long. He didn't even notice. These people were sucking up every since bit he provide. They probably haven't even made a dent in his account. I have to say my birdies were jealous and made sure to bring me everything he drops. Shadow was disgruntled that the good stuff the noble gave to the beggars. Beggars were off limits, considering most of us would've been one if the queen didn't take us in as her sort of children. She didn't now the first thing of parenting, but she adopt children faster than I could be adopted by animals.

The noble's contacted finally showed up. I gently move my bird children aside to follow along with Shadow in the shadows. 'Hey Shadow don't you look mighty fine shadow jumping? Want to try and pop in there meeting room?' I gave a wicked grin as my bangs elongated my eyes became feral and my hair gone wild.

'Only if your bite is worst than your growl.' Is what he responded like the sniffling fool that he is.
