Lania grinned as she ducked behind some storage crates in one of Luca's unpublicised back alley's. Her grin grew wider as she took a bite out of the warm bread roll she'd just swiped from a little old ladies stall. It was the first piece of food she'd had in the last 24 hours and she closed her eyes as it slipped easily down her throat. "Damn," she whispered too herself, "I needed that." She jumped slightly as she heard two gruff voices barking out orders. "Find that thief!" the first voice commanded. "But, sir...I don't know where..." "Just shut up and do as I say!" Lania heard a pair of footsteps moving away but froze where she was seated. After a few seconds of silence she risked a peak around the side of the crate. "Ahhhhhh!" she screamed as she came face to face with one of the little old ladies rather muscular sons. He smirked as he growled down at her, "Found you" Lania glared up at him and said through gritted teeth, "Let-me-go." The man laughed heartily for a moment, "Or what?" Lania smiled up at him then leapt off the floor like a cat to land behind him. In doing so she twisted his arm completely round. The man bellowed in pain. Careful not to drop her roll she unsheathed one of her daggers and hit the man with the flat side of the balde with as much force as she could muster. He dropped like a stone and landed rather painfully on her foot. "Damn," she cursed before smiling again and taking another bite out of her roll. "I just heard something down here!" a voice called behind her. Lania spun around to find three men staring incredulously at her. She grinned meekly at tham, "Oops!" Then with unnatural agility she jumped onto the crates and vaulted over the wall.
