[QUOTE="slobster, post: 6033674, member: 6693711"] Pausing two boats away, Bi crouches to take a few calming breaths. He runs his hands absently through his mop of fine, messy black hair and takes stock of his equipment (such as it is) one last time. The knives are sharp and in their accustomed places, his three coin purses are secreted about his body, and his various other tools are ready to go. With nothing else to justify his pause, he still remains crouched on the boat, looking up at the brightly lit Catfish. The moment stretches until it becomes clear that Bi is procrastinating. The small fox next to him sits, then stretches its jaws in a wide vulpine yawn. It looks into Bi's eyes and crooks its head to the side, a clear question. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"You're right, you're right"[/COLOR], Bi mutters. He takes one last breath, then rises from his crouch. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"I'll bring you back some dumplings or something, ok? You just stay out of sight and wait for me to get back."[/COLOR] The fox seems to sigh, then lies down with drooped ears. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"Oh don't be worried like that. This is a simple meeting, just to see what the big deal is about this yellow jade. We could be rich! And if there is anything fishy about the whole thing, it's just a meeting. What's risky about a meeting?"[/COLOR] The fox gives him an even, stern gaze, as if to say "now you've done it". Bi chuckles and gives the fox a wink full of all the self-confidence and reassurance he can muster. Then he turns around and leaps to the next boat, then over to the Catfish. In the sudden onslaught of people and excitement, Bi tries his best to look small and keep from being noticed. He scans the area for any hostile presences (a mostly useless gesture, he knows, he's rubbish at casing an area. This is why a thief needs a crew!) and then catches sight of the man in the yellow sash. With his reservations still nagging at the back of his mind, Bi angles through the crowd to introduce himself to the contact. He forces an amiable smile onto his young face.
