Shane enjoyed his meal to the fullest. His stomach was no longer whining, and it would certainly keep him going for a little while. [color=0072bc]"Thanks for the meal, bud!"[/color] He said to Peter, smiling at him. He poured gold onto the bar beside his plate to pay for the meal. He was about to stand up and leave, but he saw something that was moving quickly from the corner of his eye. It was a small hand, looking to snatch the gold he'd left. It was done in an incredibly fast and silent movement, too. If Shane wasn't on high-alert due to past experience with pickpockets, he may never have noticed.

Shane quickly placed his arm in the way of the gold before Vizz could grab it. He looked at Vizz's small figure with a frown. He couldn't see his face properly, so he assumed that it was just some kid trying to snatch his money. [color=0072bc]"Look, kid.."[/color] He calmly said. [color=0072bc]"I know times are harsh, but this ain't what you should be doing. Stealing won't get you far."[/color] He told Vizz.
