you do what you can to survive
Everything was going according to plan right now. The shop keeper was distracted talking to some kid that he's seen before. He was pretty sure his name was Buffalo or Bison or something, it was definitely one of those two... or maybe it was Bisexual? He couldn't remember, but those were his best guesses! Either way, his name was important. What was important was he was distracting the clerk. Plus, much like Hermes, the kid had a reputation for being a troublemaker. If he got caught he could drag the kid into it as a distraction. It was a dick move and he didn't necessarily like being a dick. But, survival was all he really cared about other than his family. And right now? He was stealing for both of those things.
His sister had cut her foot pretty badly on some broken glass outside. He kept telling her not to run around barefoot, even if her shoes hurt her feet. And this is why. They had enough supplies to treat the initial wound. But they needed more first aid supplies if they wanted to keep it clean and prevent infection. His parents didn't have enough money for that, he knew it and so did they. But this shop just so happens to have some Neosporin-like (though obviously not that exact brand) antibiotics and bandages. Since those were pretty highly sought after due to the extreme poverty throughout the district, they could be hard to steal. That's why he was so glad that Bison was here. Yeah his name was definitely Bison, Hermes was sure of that now.
He was grabbing as much first aid supplies as he could and shoving them into his jacket pockets. It was an oversized jacket on his scrawny frame, but it had deep pockets. And it kept him warm. After he thought he grabbed enough he headed over to another section of the store, that way if the store clerk noticed the stuff was gone Hermes wasn't in the area. It was a tiny store, but he'll take anything he could get. As he was headed to the furthest area from the first aid supplies, something happened. Hermes, being the idiot he is, didn't bother lacing up one of his boots properly. The result? Him tripping, knocking something over with a loud thud, and a good amount of his stolen goods scattering around him, with some sticking out of his pocket still.
He was busted. Well he wasn't going down alone, sorry Bison. "Dude, we need to go! I fucked up!"
