Roaming the streets, she found town square pretty easily and she could make out a guy holding a bat in the alley. Sure enough that was the guy, trying to con the lunch money off some school children. How low can this guy get? Without a word, she stepped between him and the kids, forcing his attention to her. "Hey, what's the big idea, lady?" he scoffed, clearly angry that his next victim was rescued. "Get out of here kids." she said, not taking her eyes off the con man. "Judging from that bat, I'm guessing you're Kyle." she stated, only to get the typical response. "Maybe. Who wants to know?" Tori rolled her eyes at this response. He had clearly seen too many movie lacrima. "I've been informed you owe some money to a friend that I'm here to collect. Money that is going to feed his children." After scratching his head for s second, it came to him. "Oh! I know who you're talking about now. Here ya go. Turns out I didn't need what I thought I did, and I don't want to be the cause of some kids going hungry. Sorry, just got in with some bad people and didn't know what to do, ya know?" he explained. Tori snatched the bag of money from him before getting in his face. "I don't personally care. That's your problem. Not mine and not anyone's whom you try to rob. Now get outta here. I see you around again, I promise you'll regret it." she threatened, making him nod in what looked like a twinge of fear. She turned to head back to the bar to deliver it back to Batra without another word, but only after familiarizing his scent so she could tell if he was ever around and up to no good again. After about an hour, just like she promised, she walked into the bar and set the bag on top of the counter. "Well, how about that. Even had time to spare." Batra joked as he picked up the bag to make sure it was all there. "I'll make sure to get this back to--wait a second. This money is fake!" he shouted, throwing it in the trash where it belonged. "You're joking!" Tori yelled back, visibly upset. "Hurry. if I know that bastard, he's on his way out of town." Without a word, just a nod, Tori rushed out of the bar and started tracking him down. Having his scent so fresh helped tremendously as it caused her to find the con man in no time. "KYLE!" she shouted across the city street to get his attention, which she did easily. "What?! You said to get out of town and that's what I'm doing!" he said defensively, already tightening his grip on the bat. "Then you gave me some fake money so I had to come get the real thing. And you remember what I said would happen if I saw you again." she said coldly, ready for a fight.
He rushed at her, bat in hand, and swung it overhanded to hit her in the head and knock her out. But before he could, Tori held her arm in front of her to manifest a shield of ice which she raised to block the bat. "My turn." she stated as magic surrounded her fist. Having already drawn back, Tori brought her fist forward, now encased in ice, and delivered a powerful blow to Kyle's midsection. This caused him to lose his breath and fall to the ground, dropping the bat. Grabbing it, Tori patted it in her hands as she looked down at the con man. "Now then, do you want another? Or are you going to give me the real thing this time?" she asked apathetically. Without looking up, he pulled another bag from his pocket and tossed it to the ground at her feet. She inspected it to make sure it was the real thing before noticing a Rune Knight approaching the scene to investigate the commotion. The ice mage handed him the bat before speaking. "This man needs to be arrested on charges of assault, I simply defended myself. He has also been distributing fake money." she claimed, putting the real money in her pocket as she headed off.
Making her way back into the bar, Tori handed the bag to Batra. "I checked it this time. It's real. Also, Kyle has been arrested so you won't have to worry about him anymore." The bartender smiled ear to ear as he retrieved Tori's reward for her, offering her a drink on the house, which she politely declined. "No, thank you. I have another client shortly. A wizard's job is never over." she joked as she left, assuring him she would be back to take him up on his offer someday.
