[ She'd been heading home, lit lantern floating behind her. Fortunately for her, she wasn't exactly lacking in companions to help keep it lit, but also she'd gone out of her way to make sure the rest of her team was currently topped off before intending to head home again. Which means hers might be casting longer shadows than normal because apparently juggling so many teammates ended up turning her into a bit of a glutton.
Not that she cared one way or another, but her posture looks outwardly relaxed, even if she's keeping an eye on things as she goes. She's heard the reports of violence rising on the darkened streets. And she's in a not-great neighborhood at the moment.
...And yeah, let's be real, she's practically inviting some gang of idiot thugs to try their luck. Better her than some actual helpless passerby.
So when she spots a furtive movement deep in the shadows of a sidestreet, she thinks perhaps she might have stumbled across some fun after all. Still keeping her casual saunter, she alters her path down the alley, eyes alert despite her deceptive stride, looking for the source of that movement. ]
