For just once in her life, Nala wished that her everyday life could be simple and not be interrupted by some villainous plots.  She was in the middle of a fashion show, wearing a very expensive dress, and then suddenly there was gunfire and screaming.  Normally, this was some kind of plot device to capture the leading lady.  But Nala wasn't you typical leading lady, and these thugs didn't stick around very long.  It seemed like the ruckus in the main room was just a distraction to keep everybody from noticing the theft happening in the changing room.  They were lucky Nala wasn't in the changing room, but they were also unlucky that Nala was there in the first place.  And they were unlucky that they made Nala rip her dress, which she was going to have to pay for later.

She had already tracked them down to some run down warehouse.  Nala didn't even know they had those in Paris, to be quite honest.  But that didn't stop her from sneaking in there and getting to business.  By the time anybody else would show up, she'd already laid them all out on the ground.

She smirked. Kid, huh? That's exactly what they wanted to avoid.

"Well, I have to pay for it," she said. "Unless they want to thank me for tracking these thugs down and bringing back what they stole by giving me a torn up dress for free. I'd be fine with that, too."

"Might as well pay you somehow," he said, picking up the remains and looking them over. The oddest things were worth the most obscene amounts of money... "And then of course they wonder why people end up on the less than legal routes." Idiots, all of them.

"Life would be a lot easier if everything was cheaper," she admit.

"Unfortunately, the people running the world aren't ready for that sort of change. You've just got to play their game to get the reward."

"Or you say fuck their game and take your reward," he countered, tossing the dress aside again.

"And how many times has that worked out for most people?" she asked. She wasn't saying it to be mean or snarky that time.

"Those are the kind of people that are lying over there." She motioned to the incapacitated thugs.

"Just need it to work for me. So far I'm not lying over there, I'm lying over here. Bit of a difference wouldn't you say?"

Huh. She didn't know it could ever happen, but Nala didn't have anything to say to that right away. Jerry would notice the pause, too. He never got in a good one like that without some sort of quick retort.

And then finally, "Yes, I guess it is a bit of a difference. I guess that means you're special."

Apparently he was on top of his game when it came to her right now. Usually she did have that retort ready. And the lack of it had him smirk slightly.

"You certainly think so, that's something. How far does special go I wonder."

A smirk.

"Well, you'll just have to play your cards right to find out."

"Why not move the whole game to a new venue?" One without unconscious thugs.

"I assume if they want you strutting in expensive dresses, they set you up with a room?"

"An expensive room."

"An expensive room you might as well take advantage of before they decide it's payment for the dress..."

"That's true," she said. "Let's grab the dress, the stuff they stole, and get there quickly."

As far as stupid side missions to be sent on, this one hadn't turned out badly. Granted, that was likely a one off thing but best enjoy the moment. "That I can do."

"It's much harder to impress in a warehouse than a bed," he smirked as he nabbed the ripped dress and let her lead them off.

She'd grabbed the stolen goods and lead them out. She'd drop them off with somebody at the hotel to deliver back to the proper owner. She had other plans for herself.
