{Name} shivered and pulled her sleeves up to her knuckles, trying desperately to let the thin fabric cover as much of her frigid skin as possible. She watched the busy people go buy with baskets full of bread and fruit as she leaned against the damp cobble of the street, curled into a ball and trying to maintain the little warmth she could grasp. Thoughts intruded her mind of stealing the food, but she shook them away. She knew she would never stoop so low as to take from others but the empty space in her stomach was so painful that it was hard not to give in to her intrusive thoughts.

She liked to play a little game with herself to keep her mind off of her hunger. She would try to describe in her mind everything and every person she saw with great detail, as if she were painting a picture of them or writing a book. She took notice of all the people who passed her by  and analyzed what kind of person they were just based on a few seconds of looking. It got very easy after awhile but she didn't have any better ideas. So far, all the faces she saw were faces she had seen and she was starting to lose hope on finding something to take away her thoughts from stealing food.

She was just about to give up and try to sleep when her {eye color} eyes landed an entirely new face. Through the sea of people she saw a man, donned in an inspectors uniform, a badge of honor hanging over his left breast pocket. The man had greying hair, a scruffy beard and a mole on each side of his face.

What intrigued {Name} most were his eyes. They were stern and shifty but the longer she stared, the more she noticed that they drooped slightly and held a certain sadness to them. If she looked even harder she could see a small light behind them. For some unknown reason, she had this feeling that she wanted to protect that light. 

His heavy heels hit the ground as he pushed forward through the packed crowd of busy people. As he was about to walk right past her, her mind went almost blank. Without thought, {Name} reached forward with a shaky hand and pinched his left pant leg, catching his attention.

The man furrowed his brow and turned to see just who had so desperately needed his attention. Suddenly he had found himself stuck inside the gaze of {eye color} eyes. He was so enraptured by them that he couldn't seem to move. His lungs had seemed to stop working as he stared at the girl in front of him. She looked so vulnarable and afraid. He somehow got the feeling that he was meant to protect her. He shook away the feeling and returned to earth, in hopes that it was just an intrusive thought.

"...What do you want? I don't have the time to be dealing with beggars."

A shiver went down {Name}'s spine as she realized time was no longer frozen. 

"I-...I dont know..." her quiet voice barely escaped from her lips and made its way to his ears.

The man stated firmly as he started to turn away, "Well, if my presence isn't needed then I shall be on my way-" 

"Wait!"

This time her hand quickly gripped his. For some reason the man started to feel a rush of warmth go through his body at her touch. He turned back to her shocked. It seemed she had the same expression as well.

"Um. . .I-its needed," she assured breathlessly.

The inspector went silent. He couldn't understand why his body wasn't operating and why his thoughts had flipped. But he held tight to the hand in his and whispered,

"Come with me."
