[redcloakedthief]

[It's really not uncommon at all for him to be tossed into a jail cell. It's part of the job hazard--of being a thief, that is.

If they don't try to cut off his hand, he'll be fine. If they do, he'll make a quick and hasty exit.

Simple.

So he's brushing himself off after having been rudely shoved on in there, but he recognizes pretty quickly that he's not alone in this cell.

Still, he doesn't speak until he's brushed off every speck of imaginary dust off, and then he crosses his arms behind his head and comments lazily without even looking--]

I wasn't expecting to have such nice company when I was thrown in here.

Comments

[brbwalking]

In time, yes. Ba'ul doesn't tend to interfere, since it causes more of a commotion than we'd prefer.

[redcloakedthief]

So...shall I take it that means you're pretty handy yourself with a lock?

[brbwalking]

Not so much. I'm just lucky in finding those people with keys.

[redcloakedthief]

...Somehow, I think it's more than just luck, but whatever you say.

Those key-gathering skills might come in handy soon.

[brbwalking]

Oh? That's an interesting thing to say when you're already flying away.

[redcloakedthief]

[...and he just shrugs.]

Who says this has to be the last heist?

[brbwalking]

That depends entirely on what you'll stealing. [ Judith does have friends among the nobles, after all. And she had her reasons for doing what she did. ]

[redcloakedthief]

Feeling a bit noble?

[He just chuckles, shaking his head.]

Nothing all too valuable, don't worry. It can't hurt anyone.

[Information]

[brbwalking]

Noble, no, but I don't have a lot I'd be interested in taking.

[ maybe a little noble. ]

But it's something closely guarded, hm?

[redcloakedthief]

[...closely guarded?

He taps a finger to his lips thoughtfully, before nodding.]

On occasion. Not always, though.

[Sounds like a riddle, huh]

[brbwalking]

... My, my. I'm not very good at guessing games.

[redcloakedthief]

Don't worry about it too much. I assure you, it's nothing anyone will miss.

[And he smiles at her, perfectly innocent.]

That's good enough, right?

[brbwalking]

[ and she isn't fooled for a second. ]

I wonder if that means it's not physical, then. Well, I suppose that's fine.

[redcloakedthief]

[getting much warmer, Judith--not that he intends on giving her any clues, just grinning at her cheerfully.]

Oh, good. I wouldn't want to alienate my new and very interesting traveling companion.

[brbwalking]

I'm open to new experiences, so you shouldn't worry.

[redcloakedthief]

Ah, excellent! This will be fun, then.

[His definition of fun is a little worrisome, BUT OVERALL Judith can handle it, and he's sure of that.]
