Afternoon Stroll (Shinsou Vaan Osiris)

Corone / Radasanth
Late Afternoon / Partly Cloudy

In all of his travels, Radasanth was still one of his favourite cities to live in, simply due to the normality of seeing someone like him in the streets. The myriad of different cultures, species and races all made the city a vibrant experience, but it also helped him to stay unnoticed among the crowds. It also provided him with plenty of inspiration for more art pieces in his free time, or new recipes to try out at home.

It was partially the reason why he was out and about. A basket hung from one arm as he gracefully wove through the groups of people in the marketplace, filled with spices and ingredients for a new stir-fry he was looking forward to cooking up back at the orphanage for dinner. The kiddies would probably break out in a riot if they had to eat soup again this week. But he also had a more sinister reason for snooping around. Not many people knew of his evening work, he liked it that way, but every now and then he would get a request from someone to take care of a problem.

The payment wasn't much. A pouch of copper and a simple meal the previous evening. The target would also likely warrant far more than such a pathetic price, a military guard who seemed to have wronged his client in a very despicable way. The client, however, she was the interesting part of the whole situation. A beggar who tried her best, with a pitiful fruit stall in the day, and more intimate business in the evenings. One only needed a somewhat imaginative mind to know what happened to warrant a price to be put on this guard's head. It just so happened that this guard's post was in the marketplace, not too far from her stall.

It didn't take long for the half-breed to find his mark, the only issue was that this was in broad daylight, with a full audience around him. Not exactly ideal.

Also not a problem...

Still walking through the crowd, he calmly pulled his mask from beneath his purchased items and handed his basket to a nearby man by a stall. "Hold that for me, please." He calmly requested as he handed a few coins to the man as well along with his vibrant cloak. With nothing obstructing him, he headed towards his target. It was a reckless move that could go very wrong very quickly, but he hadn't had a chase in a long while.
