Again the raccoon continued to raise his eye at the very unpredictable child. One moment harsh as a mace, the next threatening to become a banshee. Even more so did his curiosity rise as she explained, quite arrogantly herself, about the workings and failure of his pistol.
"Interesting. A little girl like you knowing that much about guns. Even trying to take on a big bad adult. Liking you more and more, little girl." He continued to hold on to his confidence, outwardly anyways. A bead of sweat coming down the side of his head was beginning to betray just how he was truly feeling. He began to take a step back towards the door.
"Hmmm...this is...yes. Gonna need to change the situation for the better. Hmmm...AH!" Seeming to have an idea, the man reached out to his pocket and pulled out a small gray orb and gave a laugh of his own.
"Well, I know when I am defeated, but I'd rather escape without any harm to my delicate features. Thank you and here I go!" The would-be thief suddenly threw the orb down into the ground and created a slight 'Pop!' noise. The entire room suddenly filled with a gray cloaking smoke all around, the gas itself not causing any harm to the lung or eyes nor any coughing fits.
The sound of the door being unlocked and opened, followed by footsteps in a rush in almost in the same place, was heard. "Yoo hoo!" The voice of the raccoon was heard again, overly casual and taunting. "Hope you don't mind but I took one of your things! If you want it back, come out and catch me, ha ha!"

'Goddamn men. . .! The whole race of them. . .! Blah!' Adelaide growled to herself as she began to give chase.
"Come back here, you stupid ass!" the pup shouted shrilly, bursting out of her room and pounding down the hall, new sword slapping uncomfortably against her hip. "Hey, stop running away! Rhino guy! Help!"
'That retard had better not have touched my ocarina. . .' thought the coyote, eye twitching.

As much as her eyes set on the raccoon hoodlum, even through the hazy smokescreen, she could certainly see what's going on outside the hallway in where she ran. There she saw the red flowery carpet that dragged on throughout the hallway, the many vases that catered to the space between each door to add finesse, and of course the landlord woman and the Rhino guard, whom both turned their heads towards little Adelaide upon hearing her ramblings from far off into the hall.
But the raccoon was no where in view.Not in front of her or behind. It was as if the man had suddenly vanished into thin air. That mystery was put to rest when the coyote's ears picked up the Raccoon's voice again.
"Yoo hoo, cutie pie! Over here!" He said, again his mannerisms equipped with his witty casualness. Looking to see the voice's origin, Adelaide would find to her surprise that the Rouge was sticking his head out of her room, with a great big cheshire cat-like grin . "That's what I love about you children. Sweet, cute, but oh so gullible! I just stood behind the door and ran in place to make you think I high tailed it out of here. I'd continue to mock, but that would be overkill, wouldn't you agree? Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna head back inside and check out what goodies you have in your belongings. Ciao!" And with that, the fiendish man slammed the door shut and the sound of a lock went off. Followed by the noise of something heavy being pushed off and clanging onto the entrance.
A moment later, both the land lady and the rhino waltzed forward to meet with Adelaide.
"What's all the ruckus?" The guard asked roughly, clearly annoyed. "Can't you see I'm conducting an investigation? I don't have time to play with you."

When the thief started taunting her, all the fire and energy the young girl had been expressing only a moment before seemed to disappear; suddenly all she could manage was blinking her now very wide eyes while the rest of her face clearly displayed her dismay at the man's getting the better of her so easily.
Just as suddenly her confusion seemed to dissipate when Adelaide was addressed by the guard.
"Investigation? Hell. You'd better help me grab that bandy-ass before he looks through my stuff!" she replied, running back towards her door. Upon reaching it the pup began banging on it with her small fist, and called out as loudly as she could.
"I know you're in there smelling my panties or something! What else could you want from an eleven-year-old 'cutie pie'!? Freak! Pervert!"
'. . .Gods above. . .!', thought the girl, 'Men are such sick bastards. . .!'

"Oh, I don't know about sniffing panties, but I do sniff something good...let's see here." Along with the sound of the raccoon's heavy inhalation, no doubt because he wants to be heard, the noise of hands rummaging through a leather container. "Hmmm...oooh! What do we have here!? Some sort of bread or cake. Mmm, smells delicious! I think I'll help myself, you don't mind, would you little girl? Nom nom nom nom nom..."
It was then that the Rhino decided to take charge and come to the door. "Hey! You in there! Are you the owner of this room?"
But the raccoon continued to taunt from outside. "Mmmm, delicious! Did you make this, little girl? It's so tasty! Mmmm! I'm so tempted to eat the other one!"
"Hey! I'm talking to you, asshole!" The guard banged the door with his fist, clearly becoming agitated. He tried to open the door by the handle, but it was clearly locked. "Answer me or I'm gonna break this damn door down."
"Not by the hairs of my chinny chin chin. Can't you see I'm enjoying myself here?"
"Why you little..." Before the man can bite off the man's head, the land lady spoke up.
"I can attest that whoever is in there is NOT the owner of that room and rightfully belongs to this little girl here." The elder nu mou gave a distasteful glare towards the doorway. "Drive this ruffian out of my inn."
"Oh with pleasure..." Wasting no time, the rhino switched position and began to tackle the entrance with his right shoulder. Each time the door failed to move, he would try again. The rouge inside continued his laughter and loud noises of him eating Adelaide's confection. When the land lady began to see splintering of her door, she held up a hand to stop.
"Wait! Don't break the door down, that's just in bad taste!"
"Then how else do you expect me to get inside, woman!?"
"I don't know, don't you townsfolk have some sort of procedure for this kind of thing?"
Then the raccoon decided to interrupt the three with more of his taunts. "Ah, that was delicious, I wonder what else is in here...ooo what's this?" After a moment, the sound of terrible musical notes filled the air, cause by a flute-like instrument. "Bleh, I was never any good with music. Maybe I can sell it for some Gil. Or perhaps use it as a paper weight..."
The man growled, almost as tho he was going to break down the door anyways. Then he saw the sword dangling by the coyote's side and decided that he had an alternative.
"Little girl, let me borrow that sword. I can break the lock on the door if I shove it in hard enough. Can't promise you that it will be in the same shape as you have it right now."
"Better the lock than the door." Noted the nu mou. "Because if you don't and decide to break it down anyways, you're both paying for it."
Note: Giving the sword to the guard to use will give a 25% chance to break the weapon. However, not giving it and letting his destroy the door will cost Adelaide a fine, up to 75 - 100 Gil.

'My poor ocarina. . . That man's lips all over it. . . I hate him so much. . .' the girl thought.
And then the rhino started talking.
Adelaide's shoulders slumped a little as she looked up at the guard, her face indicating clearly the disappointment and confusion she was feeling at his suggestion. Placing a hand on her sword's pommel protectively she stepped backwards slightly.
"You want to do what with my sword?" the little coyote asked indignantly but in a quiet voice, "And you want to do it before even asking the lady there if she has any spare room keys? Are you stupid?"

The landlady fumbled her hands into her pockets, frantic in her actions as the time called for. "Come on, come on, where is it...Ah!" The elder bought a iron ring with dozens of keys attached out and began to file through it. In time, she found the key I was looking for and handed it to the rhino guardsmen.
The man snatched the keys rudely then gave a nasty look towards Adelaide. "Stupid? Then how come you you're not giving me the key to your own room? Don't tell me you were dumb enough to leave them in your room and...you know what? Don't bother saying anything." As much as he'd like to get back at the little girl's insult, he went to door to unlock it. There was a satisfied grin once he heard the sweet unlocking sound from within and his grabbed the door handle. "Ha ha, now you'll get yours, trouble maker!"
With that, he pushed the door to get inside the room. But he never got the entrance any further than a few inches. He was stopped by a unidentified heavy object from inside, blocking his leeway. From the little gap, the Raccoon thief poked his head into the view and gave a shocked face. "Oh my! A visitor! And the local law enforcements! Well that won't do, I'll just take my leave then! Now where is that window..."
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" The rhino was now in a rage and attempted to tackle the door once again. And like before, the landlady stopped him with a smack on his back. "Dammit!" The guard turned his angry eyes to the coyote girl once again. "Give me your sword! Do you want this man to escape or would you prefer to just sit there and twiddle your thumbs?"
(It was already suggested earlier that something might've been pushed into the door, stop dilly dallying and read, otherwise you're making my rp experience all the more evil >=] )

"Mmmmmmmmrrrrrrr. . .!" Adelaide grumbled, positively thrumming. Arms crossed and eye twitching, the girl looked up at the guard.
"Alright. I don't care. Break the door down, I'll pay for it. Just get that pedophile out of my stuff."

"Fianlly!" The guard said, his energy returning just from hearing the words he needed. "You're growing up, there may be hope for you yet!" Turning to his side and readying himself for but a moment, the rhino suddenly sprinted and tackled the door in front of him. Wooden splinters and debris showered around them but thankfully did no harm to anyone as the bulky man rammed his way inside. He had tripped over part of the door and landed on his chest. Inside, he could see the raccoon already having a foothold into the window sill.
"Oh! Looks like the coppers are onto me!" The man said with fake shock. "Exit, stage left!"
"Oh no you don't!" The rhino made a lunge for the thief but could hardly reach for the raccoon's tail, By the time he recovered, the thief was gone and he pounded his fist onto the floor. "Dammit! This isn't over!" Grunting, the guard pushed himself up and ran out of the room, determined to catch the rouge. Thus leaving Adelaide a few choices; she may try to run after the thief by following the rhino or going through the same window sill, or cut her losses and look through her backpack to see what the damage is.

Even as the guard was attempting to grab at the thief Adelaide was shoving past him, forcing her way into the room. Lightning in her eyes, the pup fixed her gaze securely on the man as he escaped through the window, charging forwards and leaping through it herself.
Growling, teeth bared, Adelaide gave chase.
"Get back here you asshole!" the girl shouted through her uncontrolled growling, "I won't let you get away!"

The Raccoon looked behind him, startled to hear another voice from behind. And close. Seeing the angry little coyote, coming at him with daggers in her eyes, almost made him lose focus on the path in front of him. "Whoa! Almost forgot about you, little girly girl!" For an odd reason, he actually found himself a bit intimidated by the child. "Look, if I told you that your cooking was delicious, would you leave me alone?"
Running straight from the window, the two would pass the stable, where a certain worker monkey was tending and a row of chocobos stood and ate from a trow filled with nutritious greens. Upon hearing her master's voice, Annie lifted her head and looked around frantically. The feathered fowl saw her friend running after some stranger and instantly dropped the greens she had in her mouth. She tried to run over to help, but she stayed tethered to her stall by the reins that bind her chest and beak. This kept up and caught the attention of the inn's employee, who was now doing his best to calm her.
Meanwhile the two furry creatures continued to run around the streets of the cleyran port. All the bystanders simply got out of the way and didn't intervene, seeing them as mere annoyances than anything else.
"Come on, girl! Give me a break, it was just a harmless prank. Can't we just kiss and make-up?" The thief's mouth fired off again. It was difficult to say whether he was serious or being his usual sarcastic self. Soon afterwards, the raccoon gained some distance and turned into the neared corner alley. When the coyote girl got there herself, she would be surprised; the thief was gone. A long dark corridor in the space where two people can go through hand in hand was set in front of her, various clotheslines hung from the upper levels where dozens of clothes were left to dry. It would be impossible for Adelaide herself, and just as likely for the raccoon, for either of them to use as an escape route. Other than that, the only thing that stood in the corridor on the ground level was 2 fairly large garbage cans and a dusty old crate. One garbage can was filled far over the limit that the lid fell onto the side, while the other stood closed with lid on top. Both of them gave off a very disgusting smell towards the little girl's nostrils. The crate itself was just tall enough to match the coyote's height to her forehead; absolutely dirty all around with quite a number of scuff marks on top. Most likely from the use of sitting or standing on. Ither than that, there seemed to be no sign of the guilty man Adelaide once pursued.

"You want to kiss me?! I knew you were a pervert from the moment I saw your mask!" cried the pup in reply to the man's offer, not caring who heard it or what they would think.
On turning into the alley-way Adelaide came to a sudden halt, the thief having disappeared without a trace.
'I didn't hear him make it to the other end, didn't see him. . .' thought the girl, beginning to calm down somewhat and to slowly advance into the narrow space. 'I guess he could be hiding. . .'
Quietly looking over the crate and the nearby cans, Adelaide figured that the man must have tried to escape by hiding in one of them (as appalling as the thought was) and sat down across from them.
"Hey. Pedo." she said firmly, but breathing heavily, "I know you've got an unnatural interest in me. . . But please let me have my stuff back? I'm just some random girl, and I don't know what you took but I'm sure it can't be worth all this trouble for either of us? You're hiding in one of these things, so if you'll come out and return it I'll leave you alone; stop following you and let you keep anything else you took. Deal?"

"There it is again. That 'P' word. Got some issues you need solvin, girl? Got a bit o'va chip in your shoulder, hmm?" A familiar voice called out from one of the trashcans. The lid was lifted and the face of the smiling raccoon, with a dirty banana peel on top of his head, was revealed. He didn't seem to show any hostility at all. In fact, he even put his hands up in a mock surrender.
"So, ya mean it, little one? I mean, you can have your stuff back, I was just having some fun, is all. All I ask...is you pretend we never met. Discretion is what I like. In fact...I might just owe you a favor. How 'bout it, girl?"

The coyote-girl looked at the thief, blinking and clearly stumped by what he had just said.
". . . Do you have a gyshal-pickle between your ears?" Adelaide replied, scratching her head and clearly lacking any sort of sarcasm, "That is almost exactly the offer I just made you. And you went through this whole thing just for fun?"
Putting her hands on her hips, the girl's demeanor suddenly turned from confused to rather stern.
"'Doing it for a bit of fun' had better not mean I'm going to need to ask you to pay for some new panties, sicko. . . Not that I expect you would actually be able to afford them, it's just that I can't stand the thought of risking getting pregnant from someone like you having 'fun' with with my underwear."

Instead of taking it as seriously as the situation calls for it, the thief was now cackling inside his garbage and was even stewing around in the filth inside without a care. "Ha ha ha, hoo hoo hoo! You are funny kid! And that's just an old wives tale, by the way, how'd you know? No way you had the time to check." Gaining back the breath he lost from laughter, he carefully lifted himself out of his confines. The man was covered in a ranging covers of filth and the smell was atrocious. Reaching into his pockets, he pulled out a bag of gil, an filthy garbage-ridden ocarina, and an equally filthy pair of underwear.
"Here ya go, as promised. But uh...I wouldn't recommend wearing that, you might get a nasty infection. Ha ha ha!" He chuckled once more. "Hey, so uh, sorry abouts that, little girl. I uh...don't have the money to pay for the cleaning so...hey! How about I grant you a favour. Think of me as a little genie in your story books or whatever. I got connections! How bout it?"

Adelaide wrinkled her nose as the man removed himself from the garbage can. This went even further as the odor of the refused that had soaked into the raccoon's fur washed over her, forcing her to close her eyes for a moment as she choked on it.
Regaining a small degree of composure, the coyote swallowed loudly and forced her eyes open a hair's breadth to allow her to squint at what she could only think of as the pile of trash standing across from her.
"I am sure as hell not going to rub anything to get that wish, Mr. Genie, so don't even think about asking for it." she tried to say. ". . . And aren't genies supposed to grant three wishes? I think it's fairies who are supposed to grant only one."

"Picky, picky." The raccoon lifted his head up and shrugged, mimicking disdain. He took a small amount of time to wipe himself off, particularly in using Adelaide's underwear to dust himself of anything that stuck to his clothing. "Ah much better." Ever so casual, the man placed the items he took into the little coyote's hands. He was about to make another gesture in front of her but his eyes leaned over to something far away behind her.
"Oh. Darn, gotta cut this short. Anyways, I'll find you later. Don't worry, I have ways on making sure I know where you are. You can think about what you want until we meet again. By the way, Names Jay. Thanks for the free pass to go, kiddo!" Waving, he turned and sprinted into the corridor, as if he was running from a ghost.
The true reason followed up shortly after. The rhino guard from before, his heavy steps easily heard from the distance, stopped in front of the kit to catch some needed breaths.
"There you are...you little...brat." He said. Big as he is, apparently exercise wasn't very regular with him. "Where is he...did you find him?" He stopped for a moment, raising an eyebrow at what the child is holding. "And why are you...holding...a dirty pair...of under garments?"

Ears blushing at the guard's question, Adelaide glanced up at the man's face and smiled as she quickly hid her hands behind her back.
"Un. . . Undergarments? Well, I guess the deviant tried to steal a pair of my panties. But he dropped the stuff he took while I was chasing him. I didn't see where he went."
The coyote's tone suggested how strongly she was embarrassed by the guard having seen her underwear, and she hoped that would be enough to prevent her very poorly-worded misdirection from arousing too much suspicion.
"I'm not really sure where we are right now, do you think you could show me the way back to the inn?"

"Grrr, fucking useless kids!" The guard didn't bother to hide his disappointment frustration, despite his profession calling for calm. Especially against a child. "Go find it yourself! I got better things to do than babysitting a little imp. No if I were that stinkin' roach, where would he go..." Picking a random direction, the rhino ignored the child and went ahead into the streets.
Tho the poor girl was left alone, it didn't take too long for something to come her way. Out about, a ruckus was forming as someone seemed to be screaming out. "AHHHH! SOMEBODY STOP THIS CRAZY THING!" From several streets ahead, a dust cloud was forming and something was ahead of it, sprinting. People scurried to get out of it's path, even to the point where many even dove to the street. Coming closer, it was realized that it was a large yellow chocobo, running towards the coyote's direction. Behind it, held by a rope attached to the bird's muzzle, was the crier. Further inspection revealed it to be the stable caretaker.
"Help me! Please! I can't stop this!" The monkey man pleaded. But no one took his call to help. No one wanted to get in between the chocobo and whatever's it wanted. This of course was easy to point it. Seeing the little girl, Annie let out a loud 'K'weh!' and stopped right in front of her, nuzzling her head on top of her. Unfortunately the momentum threw the poor stable hand right past the two and into the garbage cans aheadl knocking them over and spilling it's contents on him.
"Oh vey...sure um...did anyone um..catch the number of that er...carriage?" By the he was seeing stars and tiny moogles dancing around his head.
