Walking through the busy alleys of the Goron District, a sudden burst of sparks calls your attention, A closer inspection reveals a Goron working on a hollow metal tube, the sparks came from a sharpening stone which he was using to smoothing both ends of the metal chunk. The Goron looks (for Goron standard) quite frail and weak, but is eyes irradiate confidence and wisdom.
Working with him is a young, glass wearing hylian with an untidy look, but his eyes have the same decision as his mentor, he is grinding a dark substance in a mortar, though at first eye it would look as if was ready, he keeps grinding, looking for the finest consistence possible.
Among other materials you find a fine powder in a bottle with a tag which reads "Bomb Flower Powder", some finely crafted pieces of wood that seem to mold perfectly to one's hands, small round rocks, and a strange unfamiliar device.
On the far end of the workshop, there are several large splinters scattered on the ground.
What could all this mean?

OOC: Man this is going to be fun!

~While the goron tinkered away at his new explosive invention, another man was taking just as much interest in it as the engineer himself was. A kid, not older than 13, with blond hair, and unkempt clothing stood someway away, watching the goron intently. The boy was in fact a thief, and though gorons weren't always the safest people to steal from, he could probably make a lot of money by selling this on the black market, and seeing as the only other option would be to go hungry for the next few days, he steeled himself, prepared to take the consequences if he was caught.

However, he couldn't do anything if he didn't have a plan. The hylian knew that it would be impossible to just take something out in the open like this, particularly with the goron working on the object of his intentions. He would have to get them out of the way, with a distraction, but how? The blond-haired youth began to walk casually down the street, getting steadily closer to his target, but not making a beeline towards it; there could be no mistakes, not even before he made his plan.

As he grew closer, the items around the goron came into clear view. He had to admit, he was slightly dissapointed, as the device wasn't finished yet, but he didn't let his resolve quaver. He needed money now, and he could already feel hunger start to sap away his strength.

Now how to make a distraction? The first thing he looked for were any things nearby that might draw everyone's attention away, but he found nothing that could aid him, so he moved his search to the actual objects the goron was working on. It would be bothersome to have to replace them if something happened, but he'd rather get less money now than more money later; time was rupees.

Only after searching twice over the objects around the goron did his eyes alight on a small pouch marked "bomb flower powder." That got his brain whirling into motion. An explosion would be the perfect distraction. All I need to do is light it on fire and then dart in during the confusion. With that thought, he reached into the only pocket of his worn clothes and pulled out a scroll. I'm glad I never sold this.

On the ancient piece of parchment was a drawing of a flame with a few words in ancient hylian underneath. After reading the incantation in his head a couple of time to make sure he wouldn't make any mistakes, he concentrated completely on the bag of powder. "Te incendo," he muttered under his breath, releasing the magical energies held inside the scroll, and directing them at his volatile target.

A tiny ball of fire appeared in the air above the powder. He was hoping that it wouldn't take long for the fire to have the desired effect, and didn't want to use a large amount in case he accidently hurt someone or hurt the things he was trying to steal. As slowly descended on the pouch, he prayed to the goddesses that things would work out like he planned and not turn against him like things always seemed to do when you least expect it.~

(((OOC: Sorry, its not a pouch its a bottle. I was editting so I didn't have your post as a reference guide, so sorry for any lack of quality...)))
