What will she do?
Try Stealing
She might as well, she has stealth training, something the old Baker probably has not, he has never been a Hunter, not even a huntling like her, so she might be able to fool the grumpy Clovis and get some breads from him and he would be none the wiser. Now it wasn´t as if the task had no risks, first she might actually get caught, even if she had training, she might get off guard by him on accident. Another problem is that stealing is, obviously, a crime, and not only that, it is also one of the worst violations of the Sacred Law, she wasn´t a very religious girl, but she knew that if she was caught, the consequences would be quite severe, punishment might go from being expelled from the Huntlings and becoming a useless outcast, being exiled or, worse, be condemned to the Ritual of Penance, which involves... No, she would never end up as her mom. She thinks as painful memories fill her mind and are promptly banished by pure willpower.
Even if she succeeds, she will need to eat it hidden from everyone else, since if someone see´s her eating openly, not being an exception to the rule, someone would be able to easily infer what had happened. But, in the end, all considerations of the sort banish from her mind by her stomach growling loudly. So she walks slowly up to the Bakery, being very careful not to be seen by Clovis or anyone else. She reaches the back door and try pushing it to see if it was open, it was, and she enters the bakery. Once inside, she can see that she had entered a storage room, full of processed wheat, barrels of olive oil, wine, butter and yeast, most of those are the ingredients of his delicious breads, her mouth waters from the smell of the breads being baked inside the house.
While distracted by thoughts of eating them, she steps on the wrong plank of wood and it creaks loudly, immediately she can hear the steps of Clovis coming, fast, she needs to do something. Thinking on her feet, she see´s an empty barrel, she might be able to fit in there and close the lid, with luck, he won´t think of looking there, the other possibility is to run from the bakery, probably the safest option, but one which will not fill her empty stomach with those delicious loaves of bread, she must do something.

Adventures of Lina
Saga of the Huntress
Follow the story of Lina, the Wannabe Huntress of the Block Village, beginning of her quest to kill and bring home a worthy prey so she can become a fully-fledged Huntress in the eyes of her village. This is an old story of mine, written 4 years ago that I´ve decided to overhaul with my new ideas for it.
