['It makes you unreliable.' That was the exact opposite of what he was trying to be--the bubble of irritation persisted despite his best efforts. All of his actions, all of his decisions over the last month had been to prevent this and prove that he still had it. He was a thief, and a damn good one.
--But, Adele had spoken the truth. His best heists were always with his partners--his friends--and their absence hit him harder than he was willing to tell anyone. Zenigata's passion and determination to do his job regardless of cost, Goemon's silent but palpable presence at the hardest of times, and Jigen's cynical insights and brotherly jabs all helped him keep together.
He hadn't needed anyone else while they were in Luceti. Not really. Conversational partners were always welcome, but out of all of the people he had met and would even call friend he knew that there were few that he would actually rely on. The relationship between his partners and himself was forged in bullets and smoke. It was a kind of intimacy that was impossible to mimic.
Lupin tore his gaze away, suddenly not hungry and unable to take the underlying ferocity in her blue eyes. She had a point.
Goddamn she had a point.]
That's not fair. Especially since I did get you to smile.
