pickpocket . blood arena | nine witches

[pocketsize]

Blaming the victim. [This boy's arms are crossed, his expression is entirely unimpressed.] Typical.

[attache]

It is, I suppose. And not the sort of tack that earns a person any friends.

[pocketsize]

[Pff.] I know, right?

[He looks down and shakes his head softly, like a disappointed grandfather would. These people and their nonsense.]

[attache]

[ Mina's mannerisms in Pickpocket is still something that proves a source of great entertainment for Jerome, as evidenced by the smile that flickers across his face. ]

Absolutely. No use in pointing fingers when there's still a mess to be cleaned up.

[officiate]

[ She shrugs, looking equally unimpressed, but the expression's not for him. ] Got any better ideas who to blame? [ Mina asks even though she already knows his answer.

(He is her, after all.) ]

[pocketsize]

I know what's even better than blaming. [DRAMATIC PAUSE no not really] Taking responsibility.

[officiate]

[ Mina's smile isn't so much a smile as a rearrangement of her face to something more wry and knowing. ] Won't get too many subscribers to that club, kiddo. Not enough perks and too much homework.

[pocketsize]

[He shows his hands in an exaggerated shrug.]

I'm not that busy.

[officiate]

[ Mina ticks an eyebrow. ]

Jerome not giving you enough to do?
