[ Once the protests on Leith had begun in front of the market he worked for, it'd taken someone somewhat politically naive like Rin a few days to grasp what was truly happening, and even a day after that to begin to participate. It wasn't anything too violent, but definitely not too passive either, and the longer he stood with the crowds, the more and more anger he felt towards the passiveness of the other Leithians. How could people just sit by idly when others were in need? When there were bans on sending aid to those people in need? It was just plain wrong. Rin felt the need to lend out a helping hand to everyone that was in pain. It was a core dissonance that he had with other Leithians, something that definitely set him apart.
Because he is fairly new to this act of protesting, he follows the ebb and flow of the crowd, doing what various people tell him to all the while trying to look out for others and make sure that nobody gets trampled on or anything like that. When the crowd chants, he does too, but he keeps himself on the outside edges of the crowd, wanting both space to move and an open eye to any threat that could come upon the people protesting.
At the protest, perhaps you're a: a) fellow protestee, standing in the ranks with him? Leithian government is unfair! The Company is out there! Standing at the concession! Plotting our oppression!! b) person who disagrees with the protest? Leithian, company, or otherwise, maybe you're here to break it up or at least speak your mind against these protests. c) a wildcard?
w9d1 - famine
[ The famine that stretches over Leith as a result of the fires is almost immediate - but Rin is more or less prepared, having a small collection of vegetables he'd pocketed from both his job and the Monastery gardens. He's in a rush to get back there, actually, in so much of a rush that he doesn't watch carefully where he's going and walks full speed into someone - all of assortment falling to the floor. ]
Ah, shit - sorry -
[ But this gives the opportunity for the person whom he ran into who may or may not be less fortunate than he to have access to this food. In his momentary flusteredness, there's an opportunity to steal the rations from him. Or, maybe you're kind enough to hand them back? The choice is yours. ]
(additionally, here is his plotting comment if you have anything else in mind!)
