I bit my lip, thinking over my mental list. Food was at the top right now, but I knew there was something more important then that. If I didn't get "that item," I was going to be killed, no doubt. I'd already been "punished" for not getting it.
There's a certain... jewel. It's supposedly special, worth... worth a lot of money. I'll split the profits with you.
Yeah, it was worth a lot, but I was getting paid a pittance for it. Truth be told, I wasn't going to pay this Riot a cent, if we even ever got he jewel.

"I'll hold you to your word," Riot said. "But I have a request."

Great! that's- erm, uh, what? A request?
I stumbled over my own words, looking up at him.

Riot stood up, eyes closed as if concentrating. Then, he grinned and opened an eye at her. "You keep the profit. All I want in return for helping you is to know who you actually are to the world."
It was a very direct request, but Riot wasn't very good at beating around the bush anyway.

Who I am? You mean, like, where my loyalties lie?
I asked. If he'd caught me a few days before, I would have proudly blurted out "I'm a member of the Blood Revenge!" but my pride in them had quickly plummeted since the events of yesterday.
I'm... I'm a.... blood member...
I whispered quietly, looking away from him.

That triggered Riot's complete distrust. This young woman could not be a friend to him if she was a Blood Member, and surely she had an agenda now. The only question that remained was if she were looking for remaining Saguine members. If she was, then he would have to be extra careful around her. If not... He would need to be careful.
And his best defense was to be direct-- make her know that he was not her friend.
"I see..." he said thoughtfully. "And do you know who I am to you?"

A, er... good... look-out?
I blabbered, at a total loss. Word games, mind games, and games in general are not more forte. Really, I suck at them.
Maybe you should just tell me... before I make myself look more stupid.
Oops, wasn't supposed to say that last part out loud.

And the directness struck again. "I am one of your organization's worst enemies," he said casually.

Holy Gods!
I cried out, still mindful to keep my voice low. I rocketed forward, covering his mouth with my hand and looking around nervousely, looking to see if anyone heard. Kind of hard to do, since everyone had heard MY exclamation and had turned their heads.
I mean, don't jsut go announceing that! I'm probably being followed, you idiot. You got a death wish?
I wishpered, lifting my hand off his mouth... and wipping it on my shirt.

"I'm constantly pursued by death, so I don't see what difference it makes," Riot replied. "And why aren't you already whipping out your swords to fight me? NOrmally, I'd be on the run right now, and a Blood Member such as yourself would be chasing me."

I, eh heh...
I bit my lip, not quiet sure if it was safe to admit this, even to the"enemy" as Waefea called the Refugees. Heck, Rot could be a spy, doing this just to test my loyalty. After what I had seen, I surely didn't think it above him
I'm a.. uh, spy.
Lie! But who cared, it might as well be true.

"Bull," Riot said flatly. "But I guess it doesn't matter now, does it? You don't trust me, and I don't trust you. Now let's go steal soemthing."

I looked at him in silence for a few moments, thinking over the words.
Dang.
I muttered, dusting myself off a bit more before breathing a sigh, I wasn't sure if it was of relief, or exasperation, but... it was a sight, ok?
You.. sure?

Riot stopped and looked at her. "You're... the one who wanted an accomplice to steal something, right? Why are you hesitating now?"

Because... I'm not so sure I ant to steal it, ok? Sorry for feeling a bit nerovse about breaking he law and putting my life on the line here...
I muttered, trying to come up with an excuse. I was having second thoughts, but not because of the life/law thing. I was used to that, no problem. but...
Look, can't a girl have second thoughts?
I remarked, suddenyl getting very defensive.
