The Vint's warning catches Connor about a second after he ran into an urchin—or maybe it was the other way around? Either way, a moment too late to put him on his guard, and Connor spends an embarrassing couple of seconds patting frantically at his clothes, checking for his purse, then whirling around to check for the urchin who definitely just made off with it...

"Flames and pyre," he laughs with just a tinge, a smidgeon of hysteria, "Why not, why fucking not lose all the Enchanter's money on my first day in the city."

He barely even sounds angry; if anything, this is all very darkly hilarious.
