Madawc didn't care much about the beggars, but seeing Xavier taking care of them, he couldn't help but let loose of a few coins as well - for the sake of the evolving friendship between the mute and himself.

All off a sudden, he dashed away, just yelling "Xavier!" in order to get the mute's immediate attention. He just could not let [i]that[/i] happen. Luckily, it were 'only' children and the streets started to be clogged up after the frist hundred meters, but still he had trouble to catch up to them. When he finally did, the boy was grabbed at his collar and left staring at Madawc's war-painted face. The demon-man lifted him off the ground with one arm. First, he yanked the purse out of his hand, then he delivered a very loud and very strong reprimand right into the boy's face. He dropped him back so hard on the ground that the child was struggling getting up again. "Get off!" Madawc shouted. The other thieves had escaped - he just had not enough arms to take care of all of them simultaneously.

Breathing heavily, he handed the purse back to Xavier, hoping that its contents were still in there.
