 ::Though the carnival of merchants and Towns people there to buy/trade/or sale.. turned the market into a peddlers paradise. Ben watched how one man pulled the coin purse from one then give it to the merchant behind his table of wares.
Almost on cue.. two children bump into the victim and race off. The one who was their mark would never realize his purse had been lifted long before the children bumped into him so it seemed. The victim would give chase but never catch them.

Ben marveled at how well orchestrated it had been, or the pain's taking time to have set it up. The two young boys if caught would be searched and other then a child's treasure of string, buttons, and marbles would be found.. not a purse or coin.

And if by chance the real pick pocket was caught and search.. again nothing. As for the merchant who played his part all to well in keeping their mark focused on the bargain of a lifetime. It was he that was nowhere near the scene of the crime, yet he would end up with the purse.
All that was left was to divvy up the spoils of their crime with a share going to the pickpocket, and the minuscule amount given to the young boys.

The sad part of all of this was Ben made an even bigger target, as his attention was on a loose blouse and the twin peaks that the blouse granted view of. He would stand there letting his eyes pull her clothing away.. as his mind would............... Jaden's question woke him from his mental ravaging, talking and asking him something about silk.. he would just nod his head adding a single word "nice" which she seemed to have accepted, or to busy with the trinkets spread across the table before her.

Once again his eyes took him on that magical tour of her charms. It was her next question that he heard all of and gave up on his visual rape. This outing was Jaden's get away from the crowds and spend some quiet time togetherhe thought::
My father is coming here for my wedding. ::the palm of one hand slaps his forehead:: The WEDDING! Damn it.. I forgot about my wife to be. ::wouldn't you know only now did he look to Jaden's eyes.. funny he never noticed them before:: I'm sorry.. I really do need to go.
