Luke smiled and took the shoe, casually throwing it and catching it in his hand as if it were some sort of ball. “When I make a promise I always stick to it’’ he answered to what she said. Although, he did have to admit that his demeanour had changed from the overly authoritative boy who wanted to stand up to her, to someone was being very kind natured towards her despite the fact that he barely knew who she was. However, he was eager to help out he supposed when people needed it. That was just him and he doubted he would ever really change. “You should get some stronger boots you know. Like mine. They’re comfortable and they never hurt your feet like this’’ he advised, looking down at the shoe in his hand. (OOC: That's okay. They are good posts.

“You should get some stronger boots you know. Like mine. They’re comfortable and they never hurt your feet like this’’
Amelia looked at Luke and smiled.
"And where would i get these boots?" She asked as she rubbed her sore foot. The thought of stronger boots that didn't hurt your feet was very appealing but how would she pay for them, she had very little money for herself and she couldn't spend the money she just stole because someone might notice.

Luke shrugged, considering where she could get them from. Well, he guessed that it was perhaps possible for her to steal them off someone. Some noble who would more than likely have a spare set at home anyway, if not three or four spare sets. If said noble did have more than set of boots, then really it did seem only right that someone who needs them got a pair.
Tilting his head a little, he soon saw a pale, blond noble who looked wealthier than most. He was young, handsome and also looked like he had small feet which was kind of the main thing he needed to know.
“Alright... I have a plan’’ Luke said, with a mischievous smile. “You see that boy over there? The blond one who looks like he is the richest person here’’ he continued, pointing over to him. “Well, I figure he will have many sets of boots and so we might as well take the ones he has on now since you need them. We can bash him on the head, drag him into an alley and take them. It wouldn’t be so bad to do that would it?’’

Amelia turned to look at the blond noble and then at his feet, they were small enough to fit her and Luke was right about him having spare pairs, people like him always did.
She looked back at Luke flashing her own mischievous grin "Here's the plan" She said quickly looking around making sure no-one was listening. "We wait until he separates himself from the crowd and then strike. We take the boots and get out of there as quick as we can. Unless you have a better plan?"
She thought it would be polite to ask instead of just taking charge.

Luke considered her plan for a moment, and then nodded. She had obviously done this before, considering she was so quick to take charge and a pretty good plan as well. Well, he supposed since he had already seen her stealing something, that the phrase once a thief, always a thief, applied very well. However, he couldn’t blame her for wanting to steal in these sort of times.
“Sounds great to me’’ he said, with a smile. “Actually, I bet he has lots of rings, and necklaces too which are just begging to be taken. We can have them as well if you want to you know, hand out amongst everyone and stuff. I’m sure he will have a lot back home as it is, and the poor could always do with more money.’’
Looking back at the noble, he was rather pleased with this line of thought. If the outlawas didn’t want him, then maybe he could do this sort of thing more often and start up a little name for himself. The nightwatchman did it perfectly well after all, and he was sure that he could be just as good as the nightwatchman.

Amelia looked at Luke and smiled. He had clearly never done anything like this before but his enthusiasm was good, maybe they could work together again sometime in the future.
"Okay. I will distract him and make for the alley" She said. Her accent always worked on people like him, so this was going to be easy. "You wait for him there and then strike. Alright?"
She waited for his reply because there was no point going through with her part of the plan if he didn't agree with it.

Luke listened to her plan, and nodded slightly even if it was not a defined one. He was just attempting to let all of the information sink in before he went to go do it. After all, it was crucial that neither of them got caught since he feared the consequences to such an extent. The last time he had stolen was just from a peasant and was some flour to eat, and the Sheriff had almost hung him. He dreaded to think what the consequences would be from stealing from a noble.
Finally snapping to attention, he nodded more definitely now. “Good plan. I won’t muck it up either you know – just in case you were worried’’ he replied, with a nervous grin. If she did get caught, he doubted very much that he would ever be able to cope with the guilt of knowing that his stupidity had lead to her getting punished since the Sheriff was never merciful in his punishments, and they were always far harsher than the crimes were.
“Should I go now?’’ Luke finally asked, eager to get done with the plan. It would be good to steal from someone who was happy enough to see people like his mother starve because they didn’t have the money to feed themselves. It seemed only fair for him to take the money, since it seemed doubtful he never gave money to the poor as it was.

Amelia gave Luke a smile.
"I never thought that you would muck it up" She said "And if anything were to happen i would not blame you"
She looked over to the noble who just walked past some begging children. Her blood boiled at the sight of this. It only made her want to do this more.
“Should I go now?’’ She heard Luke say.
"Yes" She said while looking around.

Luke smiled at the fact that she would not blame him, and he nodded. “Let’s just hope nothing goes wrong then, eh?’’ he answered. Not that he expected anything to go wrong of course. He’d dreamt of being an outlaw for ages, and this finally seemed like it would be his one big shot to make sure that he was up to it. It would be good to steal from the rich.
As she said to go, he nodded again and made his way off to the alley that they had agreed upon. He pushed past numerous people, but he never attracted any attention. No one ever did notice him, but that worked well for all of their plans. It meant that the noble would never see him coming.
The alley provided a good shadow once he got there, and so he stuck close to the wall to the right, completely submerged in darkness. The noble would never see him coming, and in a short while his pockets would be a lot lighter.

Amelia watched Luke leave for the alley, thankfully he didn't attract any attention. When he was down the alley she walked over to the noble.
"Hello" She said to him seductively her Irish accent made it sound more appealing. It also helped that she was beautiful as many of the men back home had often told her.
"Hello There" The noble said in response. He seemed very interested.
"Maybe we could go somewhere quiet and have a little fun" She said while fiddling with his shirt.
He didn't even think about it, he just nodded. People like him were so predictable. Hopefully Luke would attack before anything happened because she was fighting the fact that her skin was crawling. She took his hand and lead him down the alley Luke was waiting in. She allowed the man to push her up against the wall.
'Now would be good Luke' she thought.

Luke watched as the blond noble was led into the alley, pushing the girl up the wall. Standing bemused for a moment, he wasn’t sure what to do anymore. He’d never attacked anyone of course, and now he was feeling rather guilty about it all... This man could have been a decent one, since some nobles were decent. Lady Marian was for instance. Though, he doubted this one was deep down. He seemed to give off the air that he thought he was far better than he actually was.
Sighing, after about a minute he leapt onto the noble’s back, dragging him down onto the dirty floor. The boy’s, for in reality the noble was probably the exact same age as he was, fine, elegant clothing became soiled by the filth of the alley as did his silvery blond hair. It was oddly amusing for Luke really to see him filthy, and a small laugh escaped from his mouth. He pinned him down with a firm hand, before reaching for an odd stone nearby and banging him firmly on the head with it, but only strong enough to knock him out.
Straightening up, he sent a smile to his accomplice and nodded. “Did you want to do the honours then?’’ he asked, nodding to the boy’s shoes.

“Did you want to do the honours then?’’ Luke asked as he looked at the shoes.
She looked at him and smiled. "Of course" She said before taking off his shoes. She slid off her shoes and put his on. They were very comfortable. "You take the money and the jewelry"
She stood up and walked over to the end of the alley, she looked over at the marketplace and saw a couple of guards heading this way.
"We have to hurry. There are guards coming this way" She said back to Luke.

Luke nodded, and searched the unconscious body for any wealth or money that he had on him. All in all, he managed to get a few rings, a necklace and a lot of coins. Stashing them in his own pockets for now until he would share them with the girl, he grinned. “That was quite a lot’’ he said, joyously. He didn’t actually think he had had so much wealth on him at any one point before.
When she said there were guards coming, he felt panicky. “Where do we go?’’ he asked, unclear as to what to do.
OOC: Sorry that reply is ridiculously late.

Amelia looked around to see if the guards have arrived. When she saw that they hadn't she turned to Luke.
"Let's run for the gates. If we get separated let's meet at the edge of the forest" She said.
(Its alright)

Luke nodded, and ran towards the gate. He had always been pretty fast since he was relatively small and very slim. It made being agile very easy, which was always something he had over Will’s more lanky form who he considered to be much slower. As he got to the gates, he wondered where his partner in crime was.
