She snorted at his words, the idea of getting paid to simply punch a person more than a little appealing. Maybe she should've taken up body guard work. "One can only hope," she retorted. She nearly asked after his words (how, exactly, had he learned that lesson), but as her eyes canned the pier, the words were lost. Not because she'd lost interest in this interaction, but because she'd thought she'd seen a familiar face. Here? In Tiburon? Doubtful. She let her eyes drift back to Riesig as more words fell from his ever-moving mouth. He had the enthusiasm of a child with the seemingly dangerous abilities of a man twice his age. "Habit," was her simple response.
It seemed, for a moment, almost surreal when the boy plowed by with the sign clench in his young grip. Strange timing, she noted with a hiked brow. Both brows, though, drew up and up when she noticed what it said. "Burning shit is well and good, but alleys seems a little suspect, I would think," she said. But she almost immediately disregarded her own words. She slept in alleys -- why not work out of one, too? The thought, truly, was more sarcasm than logic, but that didn't stop her from shrugging and walking in the direction the youth had gone in.
"Do try to keep the blaze contained," was all she remarked. Would they let her work in a city she had a hand in almost burning down? Probably not. It'd be a damn shame if she had to hoof it to the next capital. And she'd do what she could to drag Riesig's ass right with her.
