"A story for another time. I promise it's a very good one. Though perhaps not as good as roaring battle out on the open seas."

"Oh, now you're just playing with me!" He sees what Ginia's doing, though. She's making sure more conversations happen in the future.

Eager as he is for that to happen...his thoughts stray back to his brief conversation with her boyfriend. The man seemed a little tight for his tastes, or maybe he was too loose...

In either case, Ginia was decidedly on the 'no-touching' list. It was looking like she was going to make his resolve very, very hard to maintain.

The promise of future conversations, yes, but a girl can't share all her good stories right off the bat nor can he. There's something nice about being able to swap stories on the slight opposite side of the law. A good heist story goes great with a drink.

"Am I, Mr. Lupin? Not at all, I hardly wish to take up too much of your time, especially on such an eventful night."

Even his stories would be laced with tall tales and lies, even when compared to the truth. Memories were tricky like that.

"If there's one thing I know I don't need to steal here, Miss Ginia, it's time. But, you've gotta be pretty busy yourself if you're running this place, and this is a night that's traditionally known for drinking and partying. I won't keep you, if you're busy."

Tall tales and lies, always welcome spices and additives to a story if used properly.

"Normally I'd insist it's no problem and that we have all the time in the world, but tonight, you're right." She smiles apologetically and gives a small bow of her head. "I am the hostess of the evening and I have a duty to uphold. However, I hope we can speak again later."

[redjacketthief]

"Oh, we'll speak again all right." Now that he knew where to find Ginia easily, there would be plenty of interesting stories in the future. He bobbed his head as well, his own smile grateful. He felt better, at least as much as he could in a place that was starting to get stifling.

He lifts his glass in a small, silent toast. "It's too much fun talking to you to not do this again. Thanks for taking time out of your night for a little talk."

That wasn't a lie.
