- Moxie is together with the gang again. They've snuck up to the midtown -- an area where the locals are permitted only during the day in order to perform labour and errands, and then are expected to leave it to the Pretons at night.
They're employing a tried and true tactic, today -- one of the boys goes to peddle some "precious gemstones" that were procured from a "distance mine" at great risk. Only one of those things is true -- the risk. It's actually a byproduct from one of the factories producing building materials, but the factories are horrifically unsafe. The boy is loud, showy, and uses a lot of large-sounding words to sound smart and flashy (maybe familiar to Moxie's own speech patterns).
He wants to sell some, sure. But it's also a distraction for the rest of his crew, lifting wallets from the wealthy townsfolk that have stopped to watch.
