I decided to be a little generous to those in the market today. Especially since most people were instead out replenishing their water, ironically with the jars Catra sold mandatorily when you'd go get some water from her. I'm carrying so much that just tripping could cause it all to tumble everywhere. Heavy loads after a payday like mine are the only time I wish for more strength rather than more certainty I can make myself (and everything I'm wearing and carrying) invisible.
I get back to our house...and see her symbol inside it. And someone holding it. I drop everything, and tackle whatever soldier was threatening my wife.
I manage to get him held down, one hand on his neck and the other on his arm holding his weapon, but it seems he's stronger than I expected, and I feel arms around my shoulders pulling me back. So he brought reinforcements. Pathetic.
"No no no!" I freeze at the voice behind me. It's Pili pulling me back.
"He's not one of them!" This time it's Asenath saying that. Incredulous, I step back...and see another raccoon right here in my house with her famous hook. I don't think I've seen him ever around, and no raccoon would ever carry something of Catra's. He coughs for a second and then mutters, "Salim was easier to introduce myself to than you."
"What exactly is that, outcast?" I say tersely to what he's holding.
"Um...you're him, right? Slytunkhamen?"
"Who wants to know? Bomani sent you? Pamiue? The majesty herself?" I say that last part with my forefinger and middlefinger bending over twice.
"Well, you might not believe me, but we're related. I'm from the future. The far future. I'm Sly. Like you, only without the Tunkhamen. Sly Cooper."

"And what would a Cooper be doing with that thing?" I gesture to his hook.
"What would a Cooper be doing without it?" he counters. "Come to think of it, in the old drawings I've seen of you in the Thievi - anyway, old drawings I've seen of you show you with two of these. These canes. Smaller ones. Yet I don't see any other canes anywhere."
"Maybe I should interject," says Asenath. "Mr. uh, Sly, you must not be from around here. That question-mark shaped symbol represents Queen Catra's anarchy."
