[If she were really paying attention, she might have noticed one head in the crowd turn towards her the moment before ice streaked from her fingers. But up until that point, there's really no reason to notice him. Still, Carden's eyes go wide, both at her using magic and her apparent fear of it.
He knows how that feels so much that it aches behind his ribs for a moment.
It's enough to make him a bit sluggish. People are already turning to look, but the person who was about to be pickpocketed seems more interested in dealing with the thief than looking for the source, at least for a moment, and so it's a simple enough matter to just kind of sweep by the young woman and take her, gently, by the arm.]
I doubt anyone will actually care here. [His voice is calm and even, easy to lose under the noise of the crowd.] But if you don't want to be in the middle of a scene, just keep walking.
[If there's one thing Carden knows how to do, it's fade into a crowd. Taking someone along with him is a little harder, but not really that difficult.]
