[seriously considers throwing the upside-down twin at the berry-throwing twin, but instead he tosses the upside-down one into a soft-looking bush, grabs some flowers, and hightails it out of the greenhouse]

Babysitter of the year! You get some flowers!

[time for a harmless little murder. as a treat.]

Abyssal life hacks.

Finding the merchant isn't even hard. Aside from you Firuz hasn't really had much success selling today; he's drawing a lot of customers in, but the quality of the goods isn't high enough to guarantee a sale. Accordingly the stall's owner, who just woke up from sleeping in, is scolding him.

[ponders whether to just kill him now or wait for him to finish scolding and leave and then kill him]

Honestly, both are pretty valid. The merchant isn't hitting Firuz or anything, he knows that's bad optics in front of customers, so it's not like there's a need for immediate intervention.

[he can be patient and wait then. :/]

After scolding and threatening Firuz a little the merchant stalks off to... do whatever it is shitty merchants do when they're not yelling at the kids they're holding in bondage. Go eat breakfast maybe.

[follows. sneakily. stealthily.]

He grumbles to himself about lazy kids the whole way to a food stall, buys himself a nice breakfast, settles down at a little bench to leisurely enjoy it...

[oh my god hurry up and go somewhere isolated]

EVENTUALLY he will probably go count his money. Need a bit of privacy for that.

[AND WHEN HE DOES...that's when Sparrow will strike]

Again, a mortal, not an especially strong one even by mortal standards, he is EASILY got.

[out of deference to Firuz's delicate sensibilities, he will garrotte the man with his belt (no blood!) before skedaddling back to the teapot stall]

Firuz has taken this opportunity to ACTUALLY slack off, leaning against the stall's counter to rest a little. He snaps alert as you approach though.

[wandering up as if buying another teapot.......

quietly, as if making casual conversation]

A little birdie told me that someone who was just here might've had an accident while counting up his cash.

He like. Freezes in place.

"An accident?"

It was very quiet. No one's gonna be looking for him for a while.

He does NOT look upset, just kind of blinks like some internal plans got changed in his head. He nods cautiously, like he's waiting for a second shoe to drop.

"Oh. I see. That's unfortunate for him."

[god this is annoying. if you were adult you, you'd already be over there grabbing all the cash you could get your hands on!111]

So unfortunate. I wonder if perhaps one of his associates oughta check on him and all the shit he was counting.

He was mostly very concerned you were about to follow up 'I killed your owner' with 'so now you belong to me' but since that doesn't seem to be happening he relaxes a little bit.

"As it happens, I think we were just about to close for the day due to selling the last of our stock."

Throws a sheet over the huge amount of unsold teacups...

There's just one last thing...

He freezes in his absolute most forced casual pose.

"Oh yeah?"

I need a little something for my employer. Proof that I did the job. And that you're still alive.
