It was almost sun down and Lynn was still misusing her money, she bought so many stuffs that she had to buy a barrow to carry them. She pulled the barrow along the streets with a map in her hands marking the shops she's being to and the ones she hasn't.

"Looks like there's still a couple of shops left and I..", she pauses for a while and then realizes
"It's Almost Sun down!!"

She began to hurry back to the spot where she and Eden planned to meet, she pulled the barrow forcefully as she tried to move faster but it was slowing her down.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!"

She couldn't keep up with the struggle for speed much longer, the barrow was too heavy and yet some of her stuffs kept falling off the barrow. She threw herself on the ground breathing heavily.
She was almost out of breath, almost like she was lurking at the brink of death

"OH MY GOSH, I can't do this anymore, I feel that I might die"
Sweating profusely, She took off her shirt and swung it around, in a circular motion, in the air to cool herself. This was a nasty habit she picked up from her grandfather,hey, it was her first time in public she couldn't care less what people would think of her behaviour.

****She had a cute brown inner wear on so it doesn't count as stripping.
Wait does it?***

Meanwhile, Eden was waiting for Lynn at their supposed meeting spot. He had being there for a while, sitting on one of the benches on the side walks.

"Where could that idiot actually be? What is taking her so long?"
He grumbled still waiting for her to show up.

A lot of time passed then Eden finally decided to go look for her, not exactly knowing where to start from he hears someone yell "Thief! Wait! Someone stop em!" From behind.

"Wait is that ...Lynn?", He turns to find Lynn shirtless (she has her inner wear on) chasing a masked man who was tagged as the theif.
"That is Lynn, like what the Heaven's name is she doing this time?!!"

"Excuse me, pardon me, coming through", she followed the masked man into an inn. She ran through the main entrance ignoring the maidens and the people who lodged in there and was focused on catching the man she was chasing.

He had snuck up on her while she was on the ground earlier and stole something from her barrow. Lynn immediately ran after him and abandoned her barrow, the stuffs she bought and her shirt on the street. She followed him into one of the rooms of the inn, it was so dark she could barely see. She hit her head on something hard and fell on something soft and quite comfy.

"Ouch my head, that hurt alot. Where's that son of a... Wait where am I?"

She sat up a little rubbing her forehead, "tsk, I hope my head isn't swollen or anything", she played back the entire scene of what just happened in her mind and realized she had bumped into someone's room.
Plus whatever it was she was sitting on was warm and felt ..alive. she couldn't help but feel the entire surface with her fingers. It was so smooth and was quite nice to touch

"Are you done?"

She gasped and quickly got off, "What was... no wonder it was so warm, that wasn't a pillow it was a person!"

The lights in the room got turned on suddenly and she saw a half naked man on the bed. He had long brown dreads and scars on his shoulders but ignoring his scary gaze and the fact that she had bumped into his room unannounced, goddamn this dude was actually good looking.
