He hadn't forgotten that Hotaru had once been a thief, and he winked conspiratorially. "Oh, you know, the usual thing," he said casually. "Some valuable objects, a locked safe, a couple of thieves." He said it as though it was just another night on the job, but of course it was bigger than that. That there was more than one of the guild involved said as much.

As far as hobbies go... well, if things continued on between them, she was going to find out what his were sooner or later. He suddenly felt a little shy; his hobbies weren't exactly what someone might expect of him, and it took a surprising amount of vulnerability to reveal. "Not many," he admitted. "But I do have a few. I swim, for one, though that's hardly a surprise for someone in Torchline." He thought of El's assertion that he should spend more time at the beach and made a face. "Though, truthfully, I haven't done much of it lately. I also knit and crochet, when I have time - Ma taught me when I was young, and it stuck. I think embroidery is actually my favorite of my hobbies, though."
