Playing it ironman/honour mode style, so i don't reload even bad decisions(even though i know it's a bad idea in DOS) considering it was me who decided to try pickpocketing someone in middle of busy inn. But yeah, reloading isn't option and it is too late for that anyway.
Haven't tried to see how he would react to the other person, will try that but if it fails guess my reputation will be the only way once it gets high enough.
Thanks anyway.
