Got my wisdom teeth pulled. The worst part is not the pain but the lack thereof. Having numb lips is not fun :(

Ima ordinary guy highschooler with that is going through school. I'm still haven't experienced RP that much. Thus, I hope to see where I stand and what my skills are.
As Gavroche was waiting, the peephole went alight, allowing him to look through the peephole. There he saw the Abbot do his long winded prayers. Although Gavroche was bored, he was not unfamiliar with those kind of things. His mother used to always take him to the temple and have him sit through prayers far longer than this one. The smoke wasn't any big deal either considering they always did incense at the temple as well. (Though he did have to admit this one was far stronger and nearly made him cough) Though, what really caught Gavroche's attention was a familiar glint that flashed out of the Abbots sleeves.
"Wait, you do knives?" Gavroche inquired as he popped out of the hiding hole like a weasel, staring directly at the Abbot. "Oops," Gavroche muttered with a grimace. Immediately, he popped back down, smoothly placing the floor boards back above him without a noise and away he crawled from the opening.
Gavroche continued to stay underneath the floor boards for quite a while, staying still as much as he could. Much to Gavroche's dismay, the place where the man had placed a cot still had a cot on top of it, meaning his chances of escaping without being caught were still rather low. For hours, he stayed in the crouched position, trying to stay as silent as possible. When the discomfort became unbearable, he shifted his body just a little bit so that he would only make a sound he thought only he could hear. The time grew longer as people moved in and out of the room with Gavroche eavesdropping on everything. Gavroche had thought there could never be a boring conversation, but it was here that he finally understood what the word "bureaucracy" meant. Every so often, his interest was piqued by the occasional bribe (especially from one Gold Teeth member he recognized) but was quickly disappointed when the Abbot declined every single time. At some point, things became so boring that Gavroche fell asleep and began softly snoring. He awoke to a small plunk above him and pitch black darkness. The peep hole was covered.
"Bollocks," Gavroche thought to himself. For all he knew, they could have put a dresser atop where the floor boards were loose, and even if it wasn't, any object above would certainly make a noise upon moving. He wasn't particularly worried about getting punished. He actually couldn't care less. It was his mother that he was worried about. Being late for supper was bad enough, but getting caught, that meant certain doom for his earlobes. After a minute of sulking about his predicament, he heard the Abbot making a conversation with another person. It was about rats, about a very particular kind of rat that scurried under the boards. To say in short, Gavroche understood everything.
"Ha," Gavroche thought to himself, "These rats will do more than bite you, they'll-" Gavroche held that thought to deal with another. No, that couldn't be. A dumb Abbot being a Gold Tooth? No... But it did make a lick of sense. How did the Abbot know about the compartment and that Gavroche was there?
"Scratch that second point, I was probably snoring..." He shrugged to himself and shelved the theory for the meantime in favor of eavesdropping. Gavroche smiled at the fact that the crew cleaned out the pockets of the entire guard. They'll more than likely empty this guy and his men out when they're done. After the conversation, Gavroche heard that a dwarvish man was barging in to make a business deal.
"Great, more boring chatter." Gavroche turned his attention off as the footsteps grew louder. Without notice, the Abbot talks in a language Gavroche had never heard. That initially interested Gavroche, but very soon, he became bored when it was just another boring business deal that didn't really interest him much. The only interesting thing was the prospect of pick pocketing more people, but that was all. As the conversation wrapped up, Gavroche began twiddling his thumbs, waiting for the Abbot to go to sleep.
"Hey! Move out of the way! I want to see!" Gavroche struggled to see beyond the bodies of his fellow urchins who were all packed into a small alley way. He jumped up and down before looking around for a better vantage point. A medium crate that stood a head taller than Gavroche sat a little ways back behind the mass of children. Bingo. In only a matter of seconds, Gavroche was already atop the crate, just in time to see the silly noble toppling off the horse onto his rump. Giggles and snorts filled the entire alleyway.
"That's one grand entrance in the front with a grand fall on the rear!" The whole urchin group burst into laughter at Gavroche's remark. After the roar died down to only snickers, the group gradually fell back into the alley to begin their scheming.
"This guy will be easy pickings," the group leader announced when they've circled around in a hidden part of the docks. "The guards might be a hassle, but we'll be able to empty Mr. Nobleman and his cronies pockets when they aren't looking. Business as usual. Gavroche." Gavroche looked up at the leader. "The big man is all yours." Gavroche gave a big toothy grin.
"I'll try my best not to cause too much trouble." The leader gave a smile. "Easy pickings!" The group scattered while giggling, disappearing into various directions. Gavroche headed straight for the streets in order to see where the nobleman was going. Eventually, he reached the procession and squeezed into the crowd to get a better look at the big man. As he was navigating the crowd, he accidentally bumped into a dwarf, causing Gavroche to stumble back. When Gavroche got a better look at the shorty, he recognized him as one of the miners of the town. "Sorry old man! Coming through." Before the dwarf could speak or react, Gavroche effortlessly zipped past the dwarf and continued cutting through the crowd.
At some point, the procession stopped at the tavern with the noble walking into it. "Dammit," Gavroche cursed. For a while, his target was lost inside the tavern. Any sensible citizen would immediately suspect mischief if a child with nothing to do was inside the tavern. As such, Gavroche turned to pickpocket unfamiliar guards and persons during the waiting hour. It was an absolute splurge with multiple copper coins, a couple of trinkets, and even a silver! When he was about to pickpocket his seventh guard, the person of importance exited the building and headed in a general direction. Curious as to what happened in the tavern, Gavroche questioned one of the exiting women.
" 'ullo, miss! Do you by chance know what happed in the Peg?" Gavroche asked while looking up at a random woman. The woman looked down at Gavroche while patting down her long, cotton skirt and responded, "The Abbot had just bought an old, abandonded building, the one near the harbor and has been empty for some years. I reckon that the old rickety place will fall down on this prideful pillock." Gavroche gave a chuckle at that remark. "What a shame, but at least we'll have one more to agree with the horse." The woman gave a hearty laugh and went on her way. Gavroche turned the other direction toward the Gold Teeth hideout and began happily whistling.
When he arrived, he went to an odd, hidden corner of the hideout and looked around to make sure nobody was looking. When he was comfortable, he knocked a portion of the wall a few times. The final knock caused a panel to become ajar. Into that hole, he squeezed through, closing the panel once the inside with a few, hard pounds. After snaking through some tight spaces and popping in and out of rooms, Gavroche reached the room he thought the abbot would lodge. On one end of the room was a silent, loose panel that was the hidden entrance from the room next door. Next to the fireplace, there were a few, loose floor panels that led to a small underground space confined to the dimension of the room.
In the span of a few hours, Gavroche observed the sleezy building owner displaying the room and some of the servants bringing in what Gavroche assumed was the abbot's belongings. When nobody was there, Gavroche silently popped out and swiped some coin and a few objects that looked unimportant but expensive. He was about to leave through the hidden exit when he heard someone walking through the hall. Panicked, he hastily but silently went back down into the hole and closed the compartment. A few seconds later, the door clicked open with a person walking in. Gavroche peeked through the hole. It was the Abbot. Gavroche recoiled away from the peeping hole and hastily covered his mouth. With caution, he inched toward the opening but without pressing his eye against it. Gavroche watched as the man walked towards the fireplace and open up a hidden compartment filled with what Gavroche could describe as a thief's treasure. While the abbot perused the objects, Gavroche was filled with awe towards the treasure and confusion towards the abbot. Absurd! How did an outsider, especially a stuck up noble, know about that compartment. Even Gavroche didn't know about that! Gavroche pushed that thought aside and continued watching. From the same compartment, the man procured a set of thieves' tools, which befuddled Gavroche even more. Before he could resolve this confusion, the man placed a cot right above Gavroche's exit, obstructing Gavroche's view of the room.
Note: I decided to have a hider for the beginning part since I felt it wasn't too relevent (but still should be included in some way). I can take down the hider if it's too much.
