Giovanni moved towards the edge of the market and sat next to a wall. There he pulled out his prize. A shiny red apple was in his hand, and he bit into it. He took some time to survey the crowd and get a feel for Moscow. Most people seemed to be normal, everyday people just shopping for some trinkets or food for their homes. Some were clearly tourists as their clothing did not match the normal customs. At this, Giovanni made a mental note to "acquire" some new clothes.
Giovanni's eyes turned to a woman. She was wearing a knit shirt, sunglasses and jeans. Something about her caught his attention. The years of Atharim training began to come back, and Giovanni began to assess the woman.
Her posture was what made her stand out to him. She had a look to her that made him think she had some type of training. To him, she was trying to disguise that by being in civilian clothing.
Military, or ex-military,
Giovanni thought. She'd be a tough one to steal from. Soldiers have that weird sixth sense thing about them.
Women in general were hard to steal from. Their clothes fit tighter, and that meant they could often feel pickpockets digging for loose change. Giovanni thought back to the first time he attempted to steal from a woman. He ended up getting back handed because his target thought he was trying to cop-a-feel. Since then, Giovanni had mostly stuck with pickpocketing males.
Giovanni kept his eyes on the woman as she eyed some tables and then stopped in front of a table with Cold War relics on it. Giovanni began to think that he might be up for a challenge, but decided to wait and see what this new stranger was up to.
