So hypothetically, if you're an atheist (no judgement on people who aren't! ♥) and then learn your magic is the result of divine intervention, does that change things for you?

I happen to be in Enprise, so they can count as a debate!

Oooooor~! I might wander around and anyone can try to steal some coins [ inserted image of twenty weird coins ] from me if they can find me! I was a priness in another life and I'm the only staff member of the Stone Pegasus Casino left in town, so I count as double rich, maybe? Either way, it might be fun to see how daring people can get!

[ Feel free to respond with like action stuff about trying to find her, or have threads lead into that. she's being vague on purpose and moving around. ]

[He smiles]

Well have they so far? I doubt I'm the 1st to try

[nachetanya]

You're the first "winner," at least.

[ Lina and her are in a long term game.... so... ]

[flametheif40]

Awww, are you just saying that to flatter me and make me blush again?

[He laughs and then pulls out his cell phone]

Lets see what you sent me...

I don't doupt you?

[nachetanya]

Not at all, I don't have a reason to lie about that! Besides, if I was flattering you, I'd be able to do it much better.

[ It's said with a little wink, the rapier going back in the scabbard. ]

[flametheif40]

[He smiles back]

I don't doubt it, but I bet its really easy for YOU to make a guy blush

[placing his school's sabre into the sheath]

[nachetanya]

Guilty.

[ The glint in her red eyes honestly gives her a very impish appearance. ]

[flametheif40]

[He looks at her right in the eye and sees the impish deviousness, and grins back with a little mischief]

What else are you guilty of? Stealing hearts? Cause, come on, Im a thief but even I haven't stolen someone's heart yet

[nachetanya]

That's probably something every woman experiences eventually. .. but should you really admit so readily to being a thief?

[flametheif40]

[He widens his eyes as he realizes he basically did just that, for no reason...]

Ummm...well crap, your not a cop are you? I haven't stolen anything since May, Thieves Honor...

[He puts his three fingers up as if he said "scout's honor"]

And Im trying really hard to change that, buutt when you basically are Aladdin for a bit, its hard to give up

[nachetanya]

... Aladdin?

[ What.

And "since May" isn't really reassuring that's like three weeks or so tops? That said, she blinks once and then twice and, ]

In that other life, you mean?

[flametheif40]

[He sigh loudly, Damn it, now their fun night might turn depressing]

I wish...I don't remember crap in the other one yet...I mean having to steal just to survive...well okay that was AFTER mom was shot but still, same diffrence

[He is trying REALLY hard to sound casual about it, is it working?]

[nachetanya]

[ . . . Not really? But more to the point, that hits her in the gut that someone would be that nakedly transparent about something like that. She can't help it, on reflex she recoils a little, her right hand going to cradle the elbow of her left arm, where she had to get it amputated. But ...

... Stealing to survive ...

And this kid is what, maybe five years younger than her? Possibly a little less, but he has a bit of a baby-face. Her own soft features look conflicted for a moment but- Aladdin? That's still such an odd comparison. Still... ]

... No, that's understandable.

[flametheif40]

[He looks down in shame, but also self-hate, why did he just do this to her? Was perfectly fine till he opened his big mouth]

Sorry...I...I shouldn't have said anything...or been more careful

[he mutters under his breath "what the hell was I thinking?"]

[nachetanya]

[ She shakes her head and ]

... No, what are you saying? I'm just surprised you were that open with it.

[ She frowns and, ]

Do you have a guardian now?

[flametheif40]

[He looks at her confused]

Your surprised? Not angry that some thieving punk is dumping stuff on you for no reason?

And I've been adopted by Mr and Misses Matthew for almost two years now...they are really kind, probably more then what I deserve considering what I put them through...well and lets face it, its just me...

[The last bit he says a little depressingly]

[nachetanya]

[ . . . I mean, yes, she is alarmed hat he's dropping her on this out of the blue for no reason on their first meeting and wonders how on Earth this kid survived long enough to be adopted if that's the case? But ... How could she be angry? She might not be the most empathetic, but that's a really alarming implied story??? ]

You really shouldn't talk like that, you know.

[flametheif40]

[He smiles, happy that someone, even a random stranger is showing concern for him, maybe this whole "open" thing might not be so bad]

Talk like what? The self hating part? Or how I don't call the Matthews "mom and dad"?

[He blushes...]

I'm...I'm trying to be more "open"...since May, when one brother of mine got some stuff out of me, that no one else has gotten in years...

Although I'm pretty sure I've gone overboard though...bright side, no lovely lady like yourself has yet to slap me for it

[nachetanya]

[ Her eyes narrow a little, but then she glances down... Hmm. ]

The self-hating part. You can, if you want, but it's not going to be helpful for life.

[flametheif40]

[He looks away]

Yeah...I do have to work on that...

I...I didn't want to be depressing...sorry...

Tonight was honestly the most fun I've ever had

I can't wait till I have magic of my own to play with

[He smiles weakly]

[nachetanya]

I didn't even use it much here.

[ She couldn't, for fear of hurting him.

But if the boy knows then... good, that's fine. ]

[flametheif40]

[He chuckles]

Well yes, tonight no, but...one day though...I wanna challenge you to a duel!

[He smiles]

Well, okay assuming I get some sort of power too...

Otherwise...sorry! I don't wanna die! Even if the last sight I have would be you

[nachetanya]

[ . . . A duel, huh.

She ... can't help it, she giggles a little at that and, ]

Those are dangerous you know. But clearly you've been okay with risking things!

[ Who brings an actual saber. ]

[flametheif40]

[He smiles wide and is a little giddy]

Well, I think you bring the thrill seeker in me out to play...and I like it

Also, dueling you with powers and what not

Is leagues safer then what I thought I would have to do, just to get your attention, but it was clearly worth it

[He tries to say it in a flirty way, but kinda studders half way through]

[nachetanya]

If that's your idea of safe, you must worry your guardians a lot!

[ W o W ... flirting with someone this much older than him. he looks, what, sixteen? Seventeen? Something like that. Well, okay, 22 isn't that much older, but it is enough that his cute approach is more humorous than anything. ]

[flametheif40]

[He laughs hard]

Oh gosh, I don't tell them about this stuff!

Sides "safer", relative term...I thought I was going to have to throw myself in front of your sword and freak you out to have a shot at snatching your purse, and use this...

[ he brings out a flash light]
