Let's Make Swords!

You figure you may as well head for the Street of Steel. At least there, you would be surrounded by plenty of blades, and you could better learn how to use one.

You guide Aerion towards the direction of the Great Sept on Visenya's Hill, as the street begins there. On the way there, your nose is overwhelmed by a foul odor, which you pray is not excrement.

When you are about halfway to Visenya's Hill, you hear someone scream. You instinctively turn towards the source of the commotion, and you see two young women against a wall. One of them is clutching her bleeding abdomen; the other is supporting her. She points and shouts "Thief!"

You see a young man fleeing from the area with a red-stained dagger in one hand and a coin purse in the other.

You find yourself at an impasse. You could easily catch the thief if you ride after him. But you wonder if you should even concern yourself in such matters.
