Amaya reached into her pocket for the watch, she stopped in her tracks when she didn't feel it there. She pulled out the inside of her pocket and put her other hand into her other pocket, searching for it.
What the...? Where the heck did it go?
She started to search her other pockets and equipment, still keeping her weapons concealed.
Crap... Don't tell me a pirate got pick-pocketed...
Whoever had it was going to get there teeth knocked out of their head when she found them.

She had seen the knight in her field of view, but was slightly startled that she had addressed her. For a moment, she paused, assessing the situation in her mind. Her life had taught her not to trust easily, and so she was contemplating what would be safe to say and what would be better not to state. Some told her she was wise in this, but their confidence in her was generally left by the wayside. Finally ordering her jumbled thoughts, she politely shook her head. "No, I was not planning on it. And you?"

Violet sat on a perch high above the crowd. She looked down upon the people below just waiting for someone to get trampled and laugh at them. Men were running everywhere trying to sign up to practically kill themselves. Her raven sat next to her nudging her slightly on the arm with his head. She turned toward him and stroked his feathers while quietly talking to him. She then looked back at the crowd below to make sure she didn't miss anything.

Amaya made her way through the crowd, pushing people aside and trying to see what was in all of their hands as she passed.
This is pointless, I'll never find it at this rate...
She tried to think back to when she last had it out and who was nearby. Nothing came to mind.
What about bumping into people? She thought for a moment.
Wait, there was someone following me as I walked around, wasn't there...?
Too bad she never got a good look at the person. She looked around, trying to think of anything that would help her locate who stole it.
The black cat yawned and looked up at her, wanting to leave. She looked down and smirked. The cat trotted off through the crowd and she followed, hoping he would take her to the thief. Instead, he ran strait toward a corner to curl up and sleep.
She wanted to scream. You stupid cat!
She turned around to leave him there for a bit and look for the watch.

"Me? no. This is more for the towns folk. Part of an old tradition that they hold every year." she let out a shrug "I've been stuck with being incharge this year. I'm usually guarding the palace. It's too loud in the arenas this time of season. I'm Illusion, and you are?" Why am I being so talkative? It was almost like she was removing a layer of her carefully guarded mask. Maybe it's just the giddyness around me rubbing off.

Delrath sat with his hands folded, looking down, for what it seemed like forever. He noticed people staring at his arm, and his hidden face. He could care less. All he wanted was to kill some people in a tournament, and get out of here, for he doesn't feel safe with all of his enemies around the area.

"Skye," she said after a moment's silence. There was no way she could get out of it besides to give a fake name, but if this knight were a protector of the palace, then she doubted she had much to fear when it came to ill will that might be inflicted upon her. She never let enough be known of herself to allow for that anyway. Besides, in a short matter of time, she would be gone and away from this place. She couldn't stay in one spot for too long. She wandered because her heart didn't have a home, and until she found what she was seeking, it probably never would.

Luke smiled down at the crowd from his position in the stands, his eyes focused on one girl and her cat. "I wonder," he thought aloud, "what she would do if I stole her little kit?"
He grinned excitedly, then felt it slip away as his fun turned to sudden boredom. He looked around, forgetting why he was there, and started to walk away toward town again, humming an odd tune softly to himself.

"Skye, nice to meet you." Then hastily she looked at the sky "if you'll please excuse me Skye, I must start the tournement." She gave a slight bow and moved through the crowds. Another gust blew through as Illusion grabbed the scroll from the wall and began reading the names for all to hear. When she reached the end she added her name and then announced "All combatants are entered. The tournement will start tomarrow, but you may practice with anyone today. The Arena's are open!" She quickly descended as she watched people flood into the training arena and get organized into little sparing groups "rookies..." she muttered as she headed towards the exit, it was time to resume her royal duties to the royal family. How odd. I wonder where Luke is?

Delrath was just about to doze off, when he heard the anouncement. He watchs the people beggining to train on each other, using a variety of moves and power unknown to him. He stands up slowly, grabs his weapons, and attaches them to his back. Delrath notices people stealing from each other, and playing with their pets. He is amused at the hidden talent among the more quiet people around the arena. He makes his way toward the center, analizing his competetion based on moves and fighting styles.

Luke had made his way to the top of the gate that lead into the arena, and was surveying the rest of the city with an air of disillusionment. He sighed heavily, then lay back against the stones, swinging the silver watch in front of his eyes.
He looked up suddenly, toward the sky, and smiled. A second later, a falcon's cry came softly over the wind, and after another moment, the bird that made it landed on Luke's outstretched gauntlet, prodding his fingers roughly with his beak and inquiring about a quick lunch, according to the glimmer in his eyes.
"Ab momentum, Russ," he murmured, stroking the merlin's head with his other hand. "We'll get something to eat once Lus is done with her little tourney. Shouldn't be long." He crooned softly at the bird, then gave it a soft tap on the beak, pointed to his own eye, tossed the bird gently aloft, and watched him fly out over the city, no doubt hunting for a nice sparrow or two to sate his hunger.

Skye had nodded and let her gaze follow Illusion through her announcement. Her voice had rung out loud and clear, though she could tell that the knight didn't enjoy having to do this. Shaking her head, she glanced around again, seeing some more new faces, and others she had already noticed earlier. This tournment seemed pointless to her, but who was she to judge? Turning, she began to walk around again, simply taking everything in.

Violet stayed where she was for awhile. As she watched the crowd she noticed that a man down in the crowd was swinging around a watch that she thought another girl had. "Thief" she muttered to herself. She then turn toward her raven again and touched its wings signaling that she wanted it to fly somewhere for her. She then pointed at the watch and the bird took off swooping down when it got near it and snatched the watch away flying back toward her. She smirked knowing that he probably wouldn't take this lightly and was excited at the possibility of a good fight.

Illusion watched the bird with amusment in her eyes as she fallowed its path back to its master. "You lost something." She said sarcastically, not that he probobly hadn't noticed yet. "But I'm assuming it wasn't yours to begin with concidering I've never seen you with a pocket watch before." she stretched her arms and sighed. "I'm off to the palace. Are you coming or on some secret mission today?"

Luke grinned and flicked his wrist, trapping the raven in a vacuum of motionless air, then twisted his fingers and laughed happily as the raven was whisked back to him, paralyzed. He smiled and took the watch from the creature's beak, then gave the bubble of air a push, and the bird drifted away. A few seconds later, it was released, and the watch was secured within one of the layers of clothing that enshrouded Luke's figure.
He turned his head and looked at Illusion upside-down. "I'm not doing anything, really, aside from harassing the wildlife. Where shall we go?"
