[It seemed pretty entertaining. Go steal what was already stolen. He is talented enough at that, being a professional thief (in his free time), and so the moment he gets off the phone with Saya, he is on the

Best location ever.

[whiterequiem]

[He's not an idiot. He can sense your presence so naturally he turns around and looks over.]

You're that whatshisface...

[sweeperesque]

[Pfff, she laughs at that.]

Hey, that sounds similar enough to a compliment that I'll take it. I make it a point to stand out.

But... well, they can be. Normally these big buff guys that look angry all the time. They probably think they're intimidating! [She snickers.] Nothing more satisfying than beating them to their target~

As for you and Obi... maybe! You seem to come from around the same time period too, since he wasn't familiar with a gun either. Watch out for him for me, yeah? I'm not sure how capable he is, but it'd be a shame for someone to take advantage of his... lack of technological knowledge.

[redcloakedthief]

[He shakes his head, grinning.]

I only have two eyes. But I am curious about what he's planning on trying now, so I suppose I can watch out for him.

[sweeperesque]

[She laughs, but she's content with his answer.]

Works for me.

... so if he's a fellow thief or spy as you said, I'm going to guess you gave him a tip or two?

[redcloakedthief]

I might have suggested a thing or two.

[sweeperesque]

Like~?

[She has this horrible feeling that it'll just make more work for her.]

[redcloakedthief]

He was just curious about we've learned so far, and how to gain further information.

The usual sort of thing.

[sweeperesque]

Hmmm...

[... that could mean a lot of things. So she takes a moment to actually get through her food.]

So... you told him how to get information, which is done by either going to the direct source or finding reliable sources amongst the foreigners.

Am I on the right track?

[Yes, it's a guessing game now.]

[redcloakedthief]

Something along those lines.

[He'd rather not be scolded. It's such a nice dinner. :D

So he takes a bite.]

It was just some friendly information exchange.

[sweeperesque]

[It's not a true dinner if he's not scolded. She won't be deterred.]

Says you.

[Because anything Matthew says is immediately doubted at this point.]

So you either referred him to Naoya or someone or...

[The direct source- the church.

...

And then she just looks exhausted.]

You didn't.

[redcloakedthief]

[INNOCENT LOOK. He pulls his fork from his mouth and smiles.]

I didn't do what?

[sweeperesque]

[If this place wasn't so fancy, her own fork would be flying at his head-]

You didn't act like a sensible and compassionate human being from the looks of it.

[redcloakedthief]

[He grinned.]

I did exactly what he asked of me.

It'll be interesting to see exactly how talented he is.

[sweeperesque]

[... She can't deny it. So she just sighs.]

I'm not hiding him if they're looking for him should he actually manage to get in. Just to clarify.

[redcloakedthief]

Neither am I. Our little tails are gone, so if he can't avoid them, he isn't much of a thief.

[sweeperesque]

[A roll of her eyes and she goes back to eating. It leaves a bad taste in her mouth, but what's done is done. ... well not really. One last bitter remark-]

Shame that your more polite counterpart is being put in danger, though.
