The Lady Rogue is well known for her pick pocketing skills. In fact she's already pick pocketed The Lord Provost twice and she's about to do it again.
It's midwinter and Thom is doing his ordeal, the Lady Rogue is there watching the iron door closely. Alanna was getting bored, she looked around. Ah so many nobles, easy targets. She slipped through the room, taking
everyone's purses, nobody noticed except one old knight. He needed a hairdresser.
"Excuse me young lady, would you mind giving me my purse back."
The girl looked up startled "Purse? What purse?"
"My purse the one you just stole."
"I'm sorry I didn't steal anything."
"I'll turn you into Lord Provost he's just over there."
The girl looked through her collection of purses and said "I know, this ones his."
"The Lady Rogue, what are you doing here?"
The girl's eyes flashed, "I'm not the Lady Rogue."
"Oh but you are, no thief is that good, my dear."
She smiled at him gave him his purse back and said "Well done, now if you would excuse me there's still some people with their purses."
She walked off, pick pocketed Jon, Gary, Raoul, King Roald and Queen Lianne then walked out of the room.
Myles smiled and went to touch his purse, it wasn't there. He smiled again she was good.
**************
Thom was knighted at sunset, he wasn't happy though; his sister wasn't there to see it.
Standing by the door he heard a voice whisper, "I'm proud of you Thom." He swung round, nobody was there.
That night at the Dancing Dove the thieves were celebrating Alanna's great haul. When a certain somebody walked into the pub. It was that man Alanna had pick pocketed twice in the chamber of ordeal. He walked up to her. Alanna raised her eyebrows.
"So you found me." She said just as one of the thieves said "To the Lady Rogue!"
Alanna smiled, so much for lying low.
"So you are the Lady Rogue. Well I'm sure The Lady Rogue wouldn't mind giving me my purse back."
"Hmmm I think she would. So what's your name?"
"Myles. And yours?"
"The Lady Rogue."
"Your real name please."
George whispered next to her "Don't tell him."
She looked at Myles and said, "I'm not planning to."
"Really why so worried Alanna." Myles retorted.
Alanna smiled and gestured behind her "I'd like you to meet my husband, The Rogue."
Myles' eyes widened, "Well, well The Rogue himself, I'm honoured."
"Are you being sarcastic?" George asked in a dangerous tone.
"No I'm not honestly, as The Rogue has done great things or so I've heard."
Alanna smiled "I like you Myles for all you're a noble."
He laughed "And I like you Alanna for all you're a thief."
"Two things number 1 I'm not called Alanna number 2 I'm good thief."
Myles just laughed.
But George said "We would thank you if you did not tell My Lord Provost about us."
"Don't worry, I like it here I won't ruin my friends fun."
George looked at him "So we're friends are we?"
"Oh yes. Now Alanna would like me to give you're brother a message."
Alanna paused then said, "I don't have a brother."
Myles shook his head. "Do you have a message from Alanna to Thom?"
"Yes, tell him she misses him and he'll see her soon."
"Goodbye, Alanna, Goodbye majesty."
Alanna shouted after "I told you I'm not Alanna."
"Sure you aren't my dear." Myles called back laughing.
"Oh I'm going to get him." Alanna said scowling.
George just laughed and said "Sure you are., but now I'm going to bed. Coming?"
The thieves laughed and Alanna blushed but smiled all the same.
"Okay."
Everybody whistled loudly and Alanna's blush got worse.
*****************
When Myles got back to the palace he went straight to Thom's room. He knocked loudly. Thom opened the door looking miserable and tired.
"Thom we need to talk."
Thom raised an eyebrow. "We do?"
"It's about your sister, I've got a message from her."
Thom looked startled and worried at the same time. "Come in." He said quickly.
When they inside he asked, "What's happened, is she okay?"
"She's fine Thom, the message is that she misses you and you will see her soon."
"You spoke to her, is she okay how did you meet her?"
"She's fine and married, I found her because she stole my purse. Twice."
Thom winced "Did you get it back?"
"No." Myles said smiling.
"She's got married? Who too?" Thom asked curiously.
"The Rogue himself."
"My god Alanna, what have you got yourself into?"
"My dear boy, your sister is happy with The Rogue."
"That means she's The Lady Rogue though doesn't it?"
"Yes it does." An annoyed voice from the window rang out through the room. Alanna sat on the window seat with a black cat curled round her neck. She looked angry.
Another voice said "Alanna how many times, tell me when you're going out because if you don't I'll follow you anyway." Alanna jumped and swung round. George climbed through the window. He was smiling.
"Alanna." Thom whispered, "Where have you been?" He went over and hugged her.
"In th' city." She whispered back.
"Alanna would you care to introduce me?" George said looking Thom over with hazel eyes.
"George this is Thom my brother, Thom this is The Rogue or George he's my husband."
Thom just stared open mouthed. Finally he managed to say. "Well Alanna I never thought you would become a thief."
The cat around her neck hissed angrily. Thom stepped back when he saw it's eyes so did Myles.
"Faithful shut up, he's only being mean because he got stuck being a noble." Alanna taunted. George walked over and sat next to Alanna he put his arm round her.
"How long have you been married?" Thom asked brokenly.
"A year, and I've never been happier."
