	The procession of children, led by Rooster, arrived ~~ata~~ table covered in toys and coins; you could leave some coins and play with whatever you wanted. On this night, and with the young woman’s words in mind, he told his hesitant charges they needn’t contribute to the till this time. They couldn’t have even if they’d wanted, he knew; tension in the streets had made their recent attempts at legerdemain impossible. Rooster approached the table first and helped himself to a toy knight, his favorite. He loved pretending to be a great warrior standing in front of the town gates and blocking the flying boulders with his magic shield.

	Only Rooster noticed when the adults around them had grew tense and were speaking in hushed whispers. He continued his play, if apprehensively, while the others paid little attention to the unusually well-armed adults hustling about, in the warrens even the children often kept a dagger on them. The rats were large down here.		Only Rooster noticed when the adults around them had grew tense and were speaking in hushed whispers.

	Rooster, for that is what they called the boy, grinned at the thought of playing with the new toys ~~and ran down below hollering with glee~~.

Rooster, for that is what they called the boy, grinned gleefully at the thought of playing with the new toys. Then he saw the concerned look in his caretaker's eyes and took in the worry her voice carried. His eyes petitioned her further. She looked away, and he moved on.

He was about to call out for help but the figure turned a corner. Shortly after the sound of fighting erupted down the hall in the direction the man had went, and the children flinched as one, the clang of metal against metal, the thud of something heavy hitting the floor. There were no screams and silence, interrupted only by the sound of breathing children, once again dominated the space.
