Cade cleared his throat and ushered Justus forwards. The crowd hadn't noticed them, and there were murmurs of surprise as Cade broke through their ranks to get to the front, people quickly clearing for him.

The four men had set their hands on the horse and were starting to riffle through the saddlebags. The animals was snorting anxiously, trying to pull away, but of the man had grabbed it by the reins and was using his weight to forceably old the horse's head down.

"Villains!" Cade hollered at the top of his lungs. All four of them spun to face him. The one holding the reins lost his balance and was dragged by the horse as it tried to make an escape. "Unhand that animal at once!  Or so face the wrath... of the Augur of Justice!" Cade drew his sword with a flourish and held it high over his head. The sun reflected off the weapon's oiled point.

The men looked at each other with confusion, uncertain if this was a joke or not. They did, however, let go of the horse, and it cantered to safety.

"What're you going on about?" One of them challenged Cade. "Ain't your horse."

"Thievery, no matter the victim, is always injust!" Cade said, pointing the sword at them like a scolding finger. "And I will not permit to occur, not under my watch!"

"No one's coming to get it." Another said. "Owner's dead.  Might as well be put to use."
