I've been around for this long and you've been doing fine. I would not still be here if you weren't.

I agree that finding the Cowboy and the chop shop girl would do us both well. Something familiar in a new place does make things easier.

Although, since we both know that you aren't considering actually putting me anywhere? I don't believe there is much point looking too hard.

[solothief]

My, is this what you always do whenever you move to a new place? Instead of looking and exploring your new surroundings, you attempt to find something familiar?

[perilous_temper]

Sometimes. Depends.

[A shrug.] Mostly depends on how much trouble the familiarity will get into without me.

[solothief]

Well you needn't worry, I think Gabby has shown that she candle herself just fine.

[perilous_temper]

Our Miss Teller can definitely handle herself.

[Which means that she's not the one he meant. Obviously.]

[solothief]

Then you should go out there, stop worrying and enjoy yourself.

[Well he couldn't possibly know who he's referencing, himself, perhaps?]

[perilous_temper]

And how do you know I haven't been doing both? Do you read minds, now?

[Waverly, Waverly is totally the one who's going to go out getting in trouble. For sure.]

[solothief]

Call it intuition, Peril.

[Fo' sure homie. Who else is better at getting himself into trouble?]

[perilous_temper]

Then you might want to have it checked, because I have been doing both.

[solothief]

Have you truly? It's funny, but I have yet to see you around.

[And it can't be that he's good at blending in.]

[perilous_temper]

Typist's been busy, haven't been out much as of late. But I was, early on. Probably again, soon.

[solothief]

I suppose I should be relishing that thought.

[perilous_temper]

Perhaps.

If you're planning on looking for me.

[solothief]

I suppose that someone needs to keep a tight leash on you.

[perilous_temper]

And I suppose you think you're the one to try?

[solothief]

I have yet to spot Gabby anywhere, so I suppose the duty falls to me.

[perilous_temper]

I have seen our Gaby around, here and there, though she seems to be staying out of the way of things.

[solothief]

Has she now? Well, she's a smart woman who knows what she's doing.

[perilous_temper]

You say that as if you're surprised. We did meet the same woman, yes?

[solothief]

Well I certainly hope that we have!

[perilous_temper]

So you know her, and yet you still sound surprised that she knows what she's doing.

[solothief]

I'm not surprised at all.
