How To Get By In A Hostile World, Thursday
"Hey, kids."
That was Atton, leaning casually against the wall at the back of the Danger Shop. "Welcome to Introductions Part 2: Rolling With The Punches."
He waved at two doors at the end of the wall. "Go."

Re: Rolling Those Punches - Part A
Her plan had obviously been to hide that she was an ancillary, but instinct kicked in. She spun around, quickly located the thief and ran, faster than a human, pushing aside the crowd in her way. When she reached the thief, she grabbed her by the neck, slammed her into a wall and said: "Give. It. Back."
She got it back. She still held her by the neck. "Why did you steal it?" Breq hissed.
The thief was nearly choking. "Hungry," she managed. "Food."
Breq slammed her into the wall again, then let go. "I hardly have enough for myself. Go find a richer victim."
The thief quickly scampered off.
In a nearby supermarket Breq found something called cup noodles. Two of those would last her for two days, even if she would end up being hungry. They needed hot water, but cold would have to do. At least a bottle of water wasn't too expensive.
