What caught her eye were the children some people brought. Many of them were struggling to get out of the fierce grip of their parent's hands. IT amazed her how many of the wails were little children howling in agony as their parents dug their nails into their hands. But she was here for the ceremony. She managed to push through the crowds far enough to see something of the officials placing the kings body on the brier.What she managed to see was between the shifting peoples bodies, she wasn't of the height to pop he head through the crowd to see anything, but of the eight to be at people's torsos and so nothing more than backs and stomachs. She herself wasn't crying, she'd been in the city a couple years and had never dealt much with the government and royalty in anyway, in truth his death meant nothing to her. Nonetheless it'd make her look like good citizen to be at this funeral parade. She stopped a moment as she felt something moving past her and a hand worm its way into her back pocket. Spinning around she grabbed he perpetrator's arm. She Quickly landed a punch at his stomach, albeit a soft punch that at least stopped him for a moment. "Oi, don't you know how stupid that was just now?" she snatched the few things he'd taken from his hands and threw him off. "do a better job next time, and steal something better than a button..," she looked at her hands, " some 30 cents and a coupon to Jeremy's tavern, if you want to earn your livelihood."
