Shenanigans
There was a big difference between a job for work and a job for fun.

This was all about having fun. She had broken into a highly secured lab just because she could. Then broke into a secure vault with the kind of skill and ease that only a professional like her could have.

Then for extra fun she left a note pointing out their security flaws with a big silly smiley face at the end. She was feeling pretty playful after all.

Then she was out and racing across roof tops enjoying her little game. This was way too much fun.

	"The best thing ever," she says seriously. "But I won't tell you what it is." Okay now she's teasing him but it's so easy to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well it's his job and he's supposed to take theft seriously. More than he actually does at any rate. "I will need to search for it you know..." Although he suspects that's what she was aiming for. He does wonder what she's stolen though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Will you now?" She flashes him a very innocent look. "I had no idea it would come to this." She is a terrible liar, especially when her eyes gleam in amusement under her mask. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Standard procedure. You know this," he says, looking serious as can be. The lenses of his mask cover his eyes but she knows him well enough to see that he's actually amused by this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh yes-- especially when I can freely admit I was having fun," she says with a dramatic sigh. Still she looks up at him and winks. This is fun. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, can't blame me. I'm doing this by the book." Lies. To begin with, there was no book on vigilante crimefighting.

He gives her a conspiratory wink back before putting on his official-crimefighter face. "Sorry, can't make an exception of you. Last chance Fox. Hand over the loot or I'll need to search you for it."

He feels so silly saying it and wants to burst into laughter. Hey, if anyone ran into them he was actually following procedure. Albeit in a more...creative manner.

	"Sorry, no can do," she says calmly. There is no loot. She should let him find out on his own. Seeing him try to take this seriously is fun. Will he get mad that she strung him along? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He finally lets a small smile slip out. "Well, I gave you fair warning Foxy."

Starting at her waist, he pats her down thoroughly, checking the spots he knows she likes to keep tools and the smaller loot. He also lets his hands trail down her curves once the first pat-down is done, he'd argue that he was just checking to be sure. And that wasn't necessarily false either.

But he finds nothing. Nothing stolen to be more accurate. Still, nothing. Where had she hidden it?

	And that just has her mouth quirk into a small smile. He's having a difficult time because she stole nothing. He could argue over a few odd things but really, he wasn't going to get this on his own. "Having a... hard time?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He frowns and ignores that pun. No way was she getting the better of him. He'd find that loot damnit.

He repeats the whole procedure again, checking even more thoroughly, in pockets and behind buckles. But nothing that was what he was looking for.

Eyeing her curiously, he debates what to do about this. He wasn't going to admit defeat but...the only thing she could have hidden had to be quite small. And usually any searches more...thorough than the usual pat-down they left to the police. But he wasn't going to be turning her over. What to do...

	And why would she have gone that far to hide something? She lets out a small laugh and reaches for a small note pad that had a few torn out pages and scribbled hard with her pencil of the page to darken it without a word and then held it up for him to see. This time she looks just as mischivous as her moniker. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	To mess with him he assumes. He frowns as her note is revealed. It didn't tell him she didn't take anything. And he'd be damned if he'd let her win this. Giving her something between a huff and a pout, Thomas starts riffling through her pockets again. Nothing, nothing, nothing. If this was some elaborate way of see how far he'd go to search her...

	"Okay that actually tickles," she says with a giggle. "I didn't actually take anything. I was..... bored. Went to find a hard place to break into." See now she looks actually innocent. And tinier because she imagines he is mad now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-03-14 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	"You didn't...take anything..." He sounds like he's in disbelief now. Nothing? He crosses his arms and huffs. "So...were you just going to see if I was going to give you a pat-down or not?" He's not mad, a little frustrated and feeling a tad foolish but not mad. He'd admit, she got him on this one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No? It was too easy to get in. I would have felt bad," she admits. Okay that has her grin. "Oh come on. I wanted to see if you could figure it out.... after the second pass I decided you might not figure it out without a hint," she admits. "It made me feel bad for playing with you. You were convinced I stole something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I thought you were messing with me and tried to hide it somewhere I might not go looking," he frowns a little and looks away. He won't mention that he thought she just wanted to see how far he'd go to find whatever it was. Which it turned out was...nothing.

"Well of course I thought you did! You're a thief and when I run into you on your victory strut it usually means you stole something. And you were practically making me search you," he grumbles. Despite the grumble though he's amused at this actually. Plus, if she hadn't stolen anything that made this more fun in a way.

	"I wouldn't do that to you unless it was important," She says defensivly. Which means if it really was important to the thief. "I have a victory strut?" Yes she does. She gets a little bit smug. It has to do with her age. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You do. It's very obvious too," he teases. He's gotten used to it enough he can tell from seeing her rooftops away. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-03-14 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Seriously?" She's still thrown off guard. "I shouldn't try playing poker with you then." He'd beat her easily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-03-14 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Yep. It's cute don't worry," he smiles. "Don't be so hasty," he teases. "Poker's fun. I'll go easy on you..." Although he's now thinking of what they can use instead of money to bet. It wasn't like either of them needed it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"See if we played strip poker I'd end up naked really fast," she teases softly Though she has a feeling that would just make him entertain the idea of poker a little more. "Chess might be safer for us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-03-14 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	"I think if we played chess the result would be the same as for poker," he smirks. "I can teach you how to be better at poker," he offers. Although he suspects she'd be fun to play against. Even if it isn't the strip variety. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So you'd play strip chess too," she questions with a small grin. he can't help but continue to tease him. "....I wouldn't say no. You never know when poker could be useful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, with you? I'd have no complaints," he admits with a small smirk. "...I'll take that as a yes then. Watch out Foxy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She chuckles softly enjoying their banter, But she's getting cold and feels tired. "I should go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
