Morgan eyed the bread vendor’s stall with a deep seated hunger. The last time he had eaten was two days ago, when he had managed to snatch an entire wheel of cheese from the back of a lord’s cart. He had been chased down by guards for what seemed like half the city’s backroads. In reality, though, he had already evaded them after only a few narrow turns and paths that he was certain were secrets to anyone but him.
He had fed his younger sister and brother most of the food, yesterday he had given them all of the smoked meat he had scraped together. Tiel had a bad cough recently, he needed medicine that they could not begin to afford. This only made his situation more desperate. Most grocers knew his face, and since he had managed to reach twelve years of age it seemed as though the guards were far less forgiving of his activities.
Today though, there was an army of some nobleman walking through the town. They would provide plenty of distraction for him as they paraded their wealth down the roads of the compact town. The bread vendor hadn’t seen him in the crowd. It was the owner’s son attending the stall today. Morgan’s experience with theft told him that now was one of the better opportunities to get himself some food.
