I loath this place, walking through the crowds of thieves and criminals. I have had so many offers to join down here, but my stubbornness and neutral perspective denies them to this day. Many of these people knew me and stayed out of my way, fearing how others could react to them making a move of any kind.
This was fear I had learned to weaponized, so much that one of the best ship sales men had given me an offer of looking at a few boats. I know this would change how I worked, dramatically even. Less favors used and more gained. I keep watch till I notice a very novice pick pocket attempt after what was...what seemed like an angel based on wings and how they held themselves.
With a simple arm reach I grab the wallet and catch it in my palm.1 The purple colored man was very confused when I walked up to him. I hand the wallet off, "Careful now, this place threats those like you as prey." I look at the pit pocket who realized who I was, at the same time showing I was challenging his leader, a leader of The Shadow Court. He quickly ran as I turned back to the purple man. 1.Telekinesis

I didn't expect this to happen so soon here. I slowly took my wallet out of her hand, uneasy. She was cold to the touch. I couldn't put my finger on what unsettled me more: How quickly my belongings were held in other hands, or how I could trust the word of this petite stranger.1 I had to make sure that she didn't take anything from my billfold, or anything else on me. But I had to get a word in first. Calmy and cautiously I showed my gratitude as reserved as I could: "Thank you." Her golden eyes still locked into mine. Her demeaning grin remained on her face. I turned back to my path and started off again. I looked back, and she was still there in the street. As her silhouette grew smaller and farther away, I couldn't help but feel an intense amount of dread. I don't feel safe here. Fortunately, I found myself near a tall strip of buildings. I leaped on its walls and began to crawl on a different route in secrecy.2 For the rest of my travel, I asked myself so many things. Who was the human girl? Does she know what I'm here for? Can I trust her? I climbed for a long time, a few blocks up and over, getting closer to my destination: to a friend in need. I began to panic when I realized I haven't checked my person for any more lost belongings. Wallet? check. Shades? check. Looking glass? Still there. My lights?3 Oh yeah. But then I drew my hand into my final coat pocket and grazed my fingers over something... unfamiliar. I pulled out the item, and I was aghast.
... It was a doll. It was a little doll of the human girl I met.

I knew that anyone with a hope of survival would run the way I came, the way out of town. Instead. this man runs to the docks. Before he finally gets away, I move my doll into his pockets, hopping this will show he took my word to heart. Before I could follow him to the dock, ambit in a much smoother path on the streets, I could see the boy coming back, with someone closer to the member. I simply smile, and look directly into his eyes, never blinking. He backs away immediately, apologizing for the boy has he crossed my path in my journey for a boat.
I wave them off, telling them I have no time for this petty suck-up behavior, and continue on my way to the boats. My little short cut brought me to the base of a building, one that had the same winged person on top. One shocked to find my doll in his pocket. I smile and lift it out and bring it to my arms. "Congrats, you learned." I offered my arm to the ships in the harbor." I will be there if questions come to you." I turn my arm to the house of someone nervously waiting on someone. "That might be who you are looking for, if that's any consolation."
I turn to the ships, letting my knowledge find the sales man waiting for me. I speak before he could try to greet me. "What do you have that is very sturdy and can with stand the storms of Dragon's Cradle?" His shock quickly turned to a business smile. "Depends, how large do you want it."
