Xenophobia. It was something Davey saw occasionally in Tionis, but the feeling this time was different.He shot back, “Then you should've prevented crimes like pickpocketing from happening in the first place. Why are you trying to shift the blame for your failure to maintain public order onto us?”
“Shut up! Unless you want to die!”
Clank clank clank!!
The soldiers quickly surrounded Davey and Josiah with their metallic armor clinking. It was obvious they were trying to appease the situation by arresting them, the foreigners.
“STOP! You've violated the law! If you resist arrest, we'll use force. Raise both hands immediately and kneel down.”
“Calm down, Josiah. It's not like you haven't seen this before.” As she grinded her teeth in anger, Davey stepped forward.
“Then what about that guy lying over there?”
He pointed at the unconscious pickpocket, and one of the soldiers gestured. A few of them ran toward the boy and restrained him. One of them shouted, “STOP! You've violated the law! Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence. Your stolen goods are now forfeit!”
On the surface, it seemed they were arresting everyone who caused trouble, but Davey saw it differently.
He heard the boy grumble quietly, “Ugh. My head. Fuck, I knew something felt wrong about that guy...”
“Hey, soldier,” Davey called out. The man was surprised, and didn't respond.
