~Arkadia: Market Place, The next morning~

Anya, Lexa, and Heda walk through the crowded market place, scarfs covering their faces.

The streets were filled with chatter and smells of freshly cooked food. Store owners shouted and called forth shoppers, trying to get a selling and children played and ran about.

"Lexa." Anya spoke. "Are you ready?"

"Ready for what?"

"We need to get breakfast."

"Oh. Yeah, i'm ready." Lexa replies.

"Do you see anything you want?"

Lexa scans the booths they pass. No one was sellng any fresh fruit today. That was what she usually liked to eat for breakfast. "No, i don't."

"No one selling fruits today?" Anya asks, looking over her shoulder.

Lexa shakes her head.

"Hm." Anya responds. A few minutes pass by in silence between the two. Both observing and searching the booths and crowd. That was until something catches Anya's attention. Abruptly stopping out of nowhere, Lexa accidentily bumps into Anya's back.

"Wha-? Anya-"

"I need to do something. Don't wait up for me. I'll meet you back at home." She suddenly says, not bothering to turn to face Lexa.

Green eyes stare at Anya's retreating back in confusion. In a flash, Lexa no longer see's the color of Anya's scarf. She completely vanishes.

Lexa raises her eyebrows and turns to Heda on her shoulder. "What do you think that was all about?" She asks the creature. Heda merely stares back at Lexa. "Yeah, same. Guess we keep looking for breakfast, huh?"

Moving her feet again, Lexa begins to walk around the market eyeing everyone's booth.

Unknown to her, someone in the crowd was following her.

Clarke stood under a balcony, shading herself from the sun as she looked at the market place in awe. Nothing never looked so lively in her life. She could hear every conversation the people around her were having. Some conversations were a bit weird than most, but intriguing none the less. Everything just looked amazing in her opinion. Even the weird smells coming from the barrel next to her.

Only a couple hours out of the palace, and she was taking the whole thing in happily.

"This is where I'm supposed to be." She says to no one in particular.

No less than a minute later, Clarke's attention on the market's hustle and bustle stops when two girls suddenly stop in her field of vision.

One of the two bump into the one in front of the other. This makes Clarke chuckle silently.

"Wha-? Anya?" One girl says.

"I need to do something. Don't wait up for me. I'll meet you back at home." The other responds. 'Quite cold' Clarke thinks.

Clarke watches as the older girl walks off into the crowd, then moves her attention to the other girl still standing in front of her. She sees the girl talking to a raccoon on her shoulder, which she thought was odd, but dismissed it. She of course has a lion as a pet. And when Clarke's blue eyes see green, her mind stops.

"Aha! There you are, you fool." Lexa exclaims happily, seeing someone selling watermelons. "Finally! Heda, you know what to do." She whispers before feeling the raccoon jump off her shoulder. Lexa scans the area quickly, making sure no one was paying attention to them then swiftly moves into the alley way to begin climbing the side of the building.

Landing softly on the balcony hovering above the booth, Lexa looks over the edge slightly to see Heda getting into position...

Lexa watches the small creature climb on a couple crates before facing the owner of stand. In the next 30 seconds happen as quickly as it ends.

Heda growls loudly and the owner turns around. Heda launches herself onto the owners face. Lexa carefully and stealthy hangs off the balcony and grabs two small watermelons before getting back on the balcony. And just like that, "Breakfast is served!" She smiles. Seconds later, Heda joins her. "Come on, we gotta leave the scene before someone calls us out." She says, jumping down the balcony, but making sure she ended up in the alley way instead of the street of the market. Too obvious.

She puts one melon in her bag and cracks the other in half for herself and Heda. Strolling down the alley happily, Lexa begins to hum. That was until-

"H-Hey! You there! S-Stop! Thief!"

She turns back slightly irritated, seeing a girl pointing a finger at her.

She swore she was in the clear.

Clarke hastily followed the girl with green eyes in the crowd. At a good distance where she wouldn't be noticed of course. She didn't know why she was following the girl, but she felt something when she saw her eyes. No, they didn't meet eyes since the girl didn't look at her, but she didn't care. She just had an urge to and this was an adventure. She was going with her gut.

Since following the girl, It seemed she and the raccoon were in search of food to eat, but Clarke was slightly confused when they kept passing by so many food stands with great smelling food. It reminded herself that she needed to eat as well.

Getting back to the girl, Clarke wasn't sure what the two were searching for until the girl shouted and eyed a fruit stand. Clarke quickly stood across the fruit stand underneath another shade covering and watched the girl. She was waiting for the girl to walk up to the owner and buy something, but instead saw her and the raccoon separate, with the girl climbing on a balcony looking down at her raccoon.

It was then Clarke realized what was happening.

Everything happened so fast for Clarke. First the growl and yelling, then the pocketing of two melons, and then the two were gone in the alley way.

Clarke stood wide eyed. "That's the thief my mom was talking about!"

And without thinking, she ran after the girl. She saw her walking and humming softly to herself, eating the watermelon she stole in the alley way. "H-Hey! You there! S-Stop! Thief!" She blurts out.

It echos around them.

She stays frozen in place, staring at the back of the girls head.

Slowly, Clarke sees the girl move her head to the side.
