[color=00a651]"Well, they used to be called the [i]Is it rich or Isn't it[/i] houses, because it is so hard to tell without being inside. Then it got shorted, Isitorisntit. But, there are always a few sighs, first, check the stoops, is there a homeless person in the stoop. If the answer is yes, then it probably is one. I think the owners see the homeless has free camouflage and it isn't like they use it anyway. Now, if it was a real person who lived there, well, would you want a smelly man peeing on your front door? Probably not." [/color]He scanned the buildings. Counting off the ones that were free of the homeless population. [color=00a651] "Which, directly leads to sign number two, nobody is coming in or going out on a whole  block. Nobody is on the balcony hanging clothing or heading out for a days shopping,"[/color]  He counted off a couple more buildings, leaving only two in his line of site, both a little ways off in the distance. [color=00a651]"Sign three, break and enter. If the house is full of cheap useless crap, it isn't. If it is full of [i]Expensive[/i] useless crap, then you have a winner,"

Taran raised an eyebrow at the others antics, shaking his head at his friend's idiocy. Rule number one of helping people, never let them know it was you. It will /always/ come back and bite you in the ass.  Either the kids would sense Prince's generosity as weakness and a handout and word would get around and the next thing they would know, fifty more little hands would be reaching out expecting the same treatment. Or, more likely, the boy who got the bread /wouldn't/ share equally with everyone, or maybe he would and some other child would expect more than he was given. The kid would probably get beat-up, or worse. Helping, that was one thing, but giving like that was naive. It simply wasn't a functional way to fix anything.  [color=00a651] "Well done stupid. Way to show that you had money, man, if I was them, I'd rob you later too,"[/color]  If these kids were anything like the ones back home, which they probably were, still being alive in this sort of town, they were tough, clever, cut throat and have acting skills that would put starlets to shame.[color=00a651] "I'm sure the point right now, is to not draw attention to ourselves. Let's just hope that we don't need to pass this way again in a hurry,"[/color]  

[color=00a651]"Anyway, we are going to be hitting that building first," he said, pointing at one a few blocks away. Think you can make it without drawing a bigger target on our backs?" [/color] He said, his exasperation at the other was slightly fading, his irritation was slowly being replaced with humor once again. Even if it was mildly snarky.
