Findabhair wasn't usually a simple thief. A prankster, a trickster, a mischevious acrobat, yes, even one who occasionally summoned money to herself that probably did belong to somebody, but not just an average, ordinary cutpurse. Not because the half-leprechaun had any problems with stealing itself (as long as it wasn't from her), but because she found that it generally lacked style. This loud, large fool, though, was making her reconsider.
A typical drunkard, he seemed to have mistaken her for a child but was being overly creepy about it. She had seen him earlier throwing money around and generally being obnoxious. And now he had started following her, calling her a sweet little thing. With how drunkenly annoying or annoyingly drunk this guy was, she felt she barely needed any trickery and that he didn't deserve much flash at any rate.
The way he was half-holding out his wallet, flashing it at her, it was incredibly tempting. Plus the man was being a disgusting pig. Trying to sweet talk her in a way that made it clear he still thought she was a child. "I'll give you a dollar for a kiss, sweetheart." The buffoon was cheap too. Who did he think she was?
Finn put on a bit of a pout for the man, one hand on her hip, a gold coin flashing through the fingers of her other hand. "Now why would I want just a dollar when I have this?" She held her hand out palm up, almost daring him to take the coin. Then when his gaze was on her money, she pulled a dollar bill out of her pocket with the hand that had been on her hip and tossed in the air slightly, hoping her powers would produce something useful.
For once, she was not disappointed. There was a bright flash and a bang like a fire-cracker going off just above her hand. Not dangerous, but enough of a startlement that she was able to grab the half-stunned man's wallet out of his hand and make a run for it.
Unfortunately, the little woman didn't make it far. She was a decent runner, but she still had short legs and usually got out of situations like these by climbing more than sprinting. Except there was nothing climbable within her reach, and the angry giant chasing her had ridiculously long legs. She turned back to see how close he was getting - if it was just money, he wouldn't be able to snatch it from her, but it was in a wallet that wasn't even hers, and he could certainly beat her up if he wanted to. Then suddenly she ran into another tall person. Most people were taller than her, but at the moment it was really annoying. At least this guy was cuter than the drunk idiot following her, but that didn't stop Finn from glaring up at him for being in her way.
