[ if shiro had to wager a guess, the first chapter in thieving 101 likely covers how one shouldn’t wake up the victim after robbing them blind. seems counterproductive to the end goal. but tim is very intent on getting an answer, one that shiro withholds behind that same unimpressed stare.

are there any other open picnic tables…? shiro doesn’t look and it’s just as well, because the mood shifts and the topic too. shiro relaxes -- slightly -- on the next breath and narrows the guessing down to: ] ADI. I’ve seen you around there too.

[ and now, he’ll answer that smile in kind. dryly: ]

So no, to your earlier question. Working for ADI is already disastrous enough without added workplace drama.

[ is he trustworthy now?? ]
