Yuffie grinned, it helped to know your way around the city and the it was big enough that you could find a little of anything, or miss something as the case might be where this little jewel of a place was concerned.

"I've been working since I was thirteen. Got some friends who taught me all I knew. Small gang type stuff. They got into some trouble and I ended up here." She waved her hands about as she talked, Yuffie had a very bad habit of doing that, it had caused her to accidentally smack someone more then once. Off the job she was more then just a little bit clutzy, and it showed.

It also helped that people didn't expect someone with her kind of behavior to be able to be quiet long enough to steal from them. Being underestimated gave her one hell of an edge when she wanted it.

"Been working the city six years." She had spent the first few months being much more of a hassle then she needed to be to get hired. Once that happened, she had jobs, but no one thought a little loudmouth of a thirteen year old handling their stuff until she had proven herself.

"City may be a shit hole but when it pays it pays very well, does it not?" She said with a bright smile that only stopped so she could eat another piece of pastry.

The blonde girl nodded, propping her elbow up on the table and resting her chin in her palm. Six years was a fair amount of time to learn the city's secrets. Then again, Rikku herself had made it a point to explore every nook and cranny as soon as she'd arrived, and had refused to take on any jobs until she had the city's layout memorized like her favorite blueprints.

"You've probably had some good teachers, then," she ventured, nodding again. From thirteen until, what? Eighteen, nineteen? Pretty solid career, there. "At thirteen, I was building machina and stealing food," she chuckled. That sounded so small-time considering what she'd been up to lately.

Being underestimated was one of the many advantages the engineer had discovered over the years. People were suckers for a cute face, and even more unguarded around a great body. Men, anyways. Women tended to give her dirty looks and a lot of glares, but that had never bothered her; most of her marks were male anyways, so it wasn't as if she had to worry about what their wives or mistresses thought.

The grin was returned, and Rikku tapped the side of her nose. "It pays those who know how to get paid," she agreed. "And we most definitely know how to get paid."

(OOC; S'all good~ I've been a bit busy myself, but I'll be able to keep up. ♥)
