He was quick, too, but she hadn't gotten so far in the world without knowing how to recover. She twisted her body to the side, moving the pocket with the money out of his reach. Then she gripped his reaching arm with both hands, burying her thin fingers, fingernails first, into the tendons of his arm. She would be very surprised if he kept grabbing after that- it was pretty damn painful. Then she lifted a leg and tried to knee him in the stomach. "What the hell, man?! Why not go get some more from your precious parents?!"

Behind them, a deep burgundy Liepard landed gracefully on the ground, growling low in her throat as she watched the struggle.
