[ eames keeps most of his projections under lock and key. he guards his secrets vigilantly. the people wandering are no one important, and eames intends to keep it that way.

it's best to do this in dreamspace, regardless. pickpocketing tends to land people in several kinds of trouble. at least here, the worst thing that could happen is that they jolt awake after one of them is attacked. ]

That was better.

You're kidding, right? [Because seriously? No. Okay, so maybe she's used to picking up new skills in about five seconds flat, especially in dreams, but this isn't going that way for her.

Sure, she's actually to the point where she's getting within striking distance, and nobody's stabbed her in the stomach yet, but still.]

I guess I just won't feel like I've accomplished something until I have a little pile of wallets here.

It takes time, Ariadne.

[ eames is considering the fact that no one's stabbed or shot her yet a small victory.

perhaps next time they had best use ariadne's own dream. eames isn't entirely certain that his own projections aren't impartial. ]

Once you've acquired the skill, I'm sure you'll be an absolute terror to all unsuspecting bystanders.

[She still looks skeptical, but, well. There's part of her that pretty firmly believes she can do any damn thing she sets her mind to.

Literally, even.

Still, she quirks her eyebrows at him.] I hate playing 'cute', but I suppose I'm doomed to it if I ever want to be successful at this, huh?
