Attentive green eyes flickered from person to person, naturally drawn to the loudest noises in the crowd. Perhaps near that obnoxious man would be a good target. People would be too occupied with their annoyance to feel a tug at their pocket... right?
On the other hand, if they did and the loud man caught wind, the entire crowd and the intimidating constable would be on him like flies.
Edmund cringed at the thought, turning his head away just as the constable passed and feigning interest in the stall next to him. A shimmer caught his attention a moment later, belonging to a chain of some sort emerging from a man's pocket. Even better, the man appeared to be thoroughly distracted with a notebook in his hand.
Perfect.
The man passed and Edmund followed a step and a half behind, strolling casually. Making sure to walk quietly as they moved through the crowd, the boy slowly came closer and closer to his target. Once he was close enough, he reached out to the alluring chain and hooked his pinkie finger around it, and tugged.
