lemme in! LEMME IIIIIIIIIIIINN!!!!

Someone had said "don't go into the market" but the young prince wasn't trying to hear any of that noise. Now that he knew he wasn't supposed to go in there, he wanted to know why it was off limits. What kinds of cool things were they hiding away in there, that he wasn't supposed to see? Swords? Magic? Cool new rocks he'd never heard of? Even though his dad had said that he'd be allowed in soon enough, the boy had no interest in waiting to find out exactly what he was missing. No, he was going to sneak in!

The guards were probably too big and dumb to notice a little guy like him creeping past them, like a ninja! The bustle of the crowd in the late afternoon was loud enough that he could hear it even before the entrance was in sight. Perfect! They wouldn't hear him sneaking up, even if he was making noise (which he absolutely wasn't, obviously, because he was a ninja at the moment). The pudgy form of the golden prince stayed close to the walls, but he wasn't exactly meant to blend into the dark corners with that bright pelage. Every time the giant, toothy man at the entrance looked away he advanced.

Almost there... He heard someone shout inside the market, and chose that as his moment to race past. If he was careful, he'd slip right past the big guy's side and inside without a problem!
