Tobias already turned his head upon hearing the yell, and almost immediately felt the jerk. One hand closed around the wrist of the thief and the other pulled back and made a fist to punch this asshole who dared to rob him. After being mugged in this town before, he wasn't going to let anyone try anything again.

But upon seeing that it was only a boy, the intended punch was exchanged for a milder cuff on the ear. "Don't even think about it, lad!" he shouted, his fingers still wrapped around the boy's wrist so he couldn't run.
