The Market

OPEN STARTER

It was getting late on in the day, probably less than an hour remaining before the sky began to darken and all of the stalls in the market would close, and it was now that Xingguang felt at least a little less guilty stealing. It was likely that anything left now would just go to waste, and with her speed and agility she could at least prevent some things from spoiling.
She could have paid for it, she had at least a few coins at her 'home', but they weren't enough and if she wanted to use them for such menial necessities as food, it would take her far too long to save up enough to get out of the kingdom. Heck, it had already been a year of stealing and she'd barely even made a fifth of what she needed.
Shaking her thoughts away, she adjusted her tunic, frowning down at the bottom of her pants and the brown and green staining from the dirt and grass they were constantly dragging through. Then she glanced around again, spotting a stall that was selling what looked like freshly picked peaches.
She made her way over to the peach stall, looking over them and waiting for the keeper of the stall to become distracted with other customers. She cautiously picked out two, looking as though she was about to buy them, before turning and bolting through the market, between the other stalls as she heard astounded shouts coming from the stall.
