Ripper
*for reasons that at least seemed sensible to him, Ripper usually perfered to prey amongst the tourists and infrequent travelers when scrounging around in random pockets for goods. It was better off than the opertunity to piss of a local who might remember him again later. For this reason especially did he tend to stick close by to the train stations on these forays into the crowds*

Ember March
Most young women who step off trains in a foreign land expect to appear full of hope, wonder... excitement. For the redhead in the gray, wool coat - the thrill of travel seems to have lost its luster.
Ember March
She worries her lower lip, nibbling it between milky teeth of moderate size in perfect, proportioned symmetry. Train fare hadn't exactly appealed to her palate and she found herself hungry and in need of a strong cup of coffee.
Ember March
She wasn't carrying much, a large, streamlined suitcase and a leather tote seem to comprise her 'luggage.' She gave a glance around and pulls out her cellphone to summon an Uber driver to take her to... well... she'd figure that out. After the coffee...
Ripper
checks the travel tags on her bags.
Ember March
(Streamline suitcase.)
Ember March
American. From a no-name, no-where town in the southern states.
Ripper
*standing with his back to the bustling mass leaving the station doors, Ripper has his features disguised as the face of Joe Everyman through use of the unobtrusive Alter Ego skill.*
Ripper
tried to steal from you, and you caught them!
Ember March
The young woman gave a glance at the fellow, her eyes sweeping over his person. In their turbulent depths, a mixture begins to amalgamate of contempt and misunderstanding. "If you take my suitcase, all you're going to find are some items of clothing and a few pair of shoes. Hardly worth it. "
Ember March
Her voice was soft. Warm like smoke from cigar rolled from Virginian tobacco, and rich and mellow like Kentucky Bourbon. And... an undertone of ... boredom? Expectancy?
Ripper
O.o It had been a long time since he was caught red-handed in the middle of a heist, but not so long ago that he didn't remember how to try and play it cool. Hoisting the large luggate up over his shoulder like a boombox he smiled at her with what he hoped like resembled some sincere honesty...* [1/2]
Ripper
"Not at all, Ma'am. This here is just only our complimentary porter and valet service. Don't worry so much!" [2/2]
Ripper
*whether he had been slow this time of the woman was merely extremely observant was yet to be determined*
Ember March
A longsuffering sigh huffs past her lips, and the toe of her right foot begins to tap a steady cadence against the pavement in burgeoning irritation. Her eyes roll upward, and she carefully enunciates the words, "Put-it-down." They nearly hiss past her lips as her countenance begins to darken...
Ember March
And like the passing of a sudden tempest, Ember composes her features, flashes a smile, and offers, "Please, Thank You." Perhaps her sincerity is to be doubted, but it sounds pleasing, at least. She flashes a quick smile.
Ripper
>.>
Ripper
"Right then. Where are you headed?"
Ember March
"Somewhere with great coffee."
Ripper
"I know just the place." *he grins*
Ripper
I'll show you a place that's owned by a friend of mine if you follow me. *and hosting the suitcase of hers along like it was a paperweight he leads her towards the Moonlight lotus cafe lovated just over the river in Wickbridge.*
Ember March
(Can we continue? I need to sleep?)
Ember March
We can continue or... "Sorry, handsome. I'm flying solo tonight. Don't worry, I'll ask my driver! I'm sure they know 'all' the best places. You... have a good night? Okay?" She seems more than a little relieved when the car she'd summoned arrives. It was a little Civic hatchback, red in color with beaming headlights that flood the area with light.
Ripper
*hesitantly sets down the luggage inside the boot of the small vehicle*
Ripper
"well, welcome to Harper's Rock and I hope that you find what it is you're looking for here!"
Ripper
coughs and waits for a 'tip'.
Ember March
He certainly doesn't get one.
