[center][b]Akari Just outside Bruma Gate[/b][/center] 

A guard received notice from the castle as Akari walked past him. "Halt!" He called after her. Akari froze for a brief moment, when a guard yelled halt her natural instinct was to run...and run she did. Naturally the guard gave chase. [i]I was sure no one saw me stealing! How could I have been caught?![/i] she thought to herself as she sprinted, but the unfamiliar territory, not matter how much it felt like home was her downfall as she fell to her knees after tripping over some ice. [i]Vex would kill me...[/i] she could see the old woman's glare now...The guard was quickly upon her, pinning her to the ground his sword at her throat. "Get up cat!" the guard pulled Akari up and dragged her back to the city, binding her hands. The refugee's watched as she was pulled back into the gate, causing the cub she had given money to threw a rock in the guards direction in defiance. With a sore back the guard pulled Akari all the way to the main hall. "We recovered this one at the gate trying to sneak away Sir!" He said to the Legate still standing there, waiting for one of the Castle's guards to relieve him of the struggling thief.
