          you’re still up? i had thought you’d be long asleep by now. is something up with you? ( she mused, head tilting as she clasped her hands in front of her. )

songbirdsactress

oh, come /on/. i understand that it may be important, but that doesn’t mean it can’t wait until tomorrow, once you’ve gotten some proper rest. ( she crossed her arms, huffing. )

@snatchinthief                sources, many of them claim you're a telepath.  [ kaz spoke, voice raspy and firm, leathered covered fingers tapped absent-mindedly against the crow's head on his cane once more before giving it a tap against the cobblestones underneath his feet.  ]    not even for a bit of  kruge?

@kettrdamned    (  . . .  )     blackmail  ?   you’re   blackmailing    me   ?       [        lena   wasn’t   surprised .   she   was   aware   of   his   reputation .   but    she   couldn’t    help   but stare    at   him    in    disbelief   at   the   nerve he   had   to    threaten   her   .    nevertheless ,   what   came   out   of   her   mouth   next   would    probably    surprise   him .      she   laughed .      ]      my   ‘ protection ‘ ?    tell me   ,    dirtyhands ,   what   proof   do   you   have   that   I   am   what   you   say   I   am ?    you    have    nothing   .   I    / hate /   to break it   to    you    dear ,    but   the   word   of   a criminal    means    nothing .

@snatchinthief             &  i need you to give me whatever information you've got, and i'll make sure that little secret of yours is hidden away.  [  kaz starts off. He was alone this time — his other crows out on their own respectable jobs,  but dirtyhands knew what had to be done in order for this deal to happen.    ]    and if you fail to give me what I want, kiss your protection goodbye.   [ he adds,  a somewhat sly smirk gracing the Barrel boss' lips as he moved along the cobblestones swiftly.   ]
