[ She glances over at him, not really sure how that's supposed to go. Emerald's problem has never been that she doesn't have feelings, it's that she does. She has way too many, and most of them are routed in a life filled with suffering. ]
I was a thief for most of my life.
[ She moves both of her hands over the box, just feeling the residual warmth. There isn't much left. She could reheat it, but she doesn't really want to ruin the pizza. ]
Things changed. Someone finally pulled me off of the streets and taught me how I could stop relying on theft to survive. I have since become a killer, framed someone for assault, actual assault, forced the world's favored hero-to-be to dismember a girl on live television to cause a panic and bring hoards of monsters down on a city.. Oh, espionage.
[ She tilts her head and gestures and counts with her hand as she kind of lists things off. That's the worst of it. Once she's done she looks over at him again, like she's trying to gauge whether he's about to freak out and shut down, shame her, or react in horror. It's rare it doesn't drive people away, and he already said he doesn't care about her- definitely not enough to try to look past it. So unless he was serious about the arson and really isn't a good person himself, she doubts he'll take it well. It's just as well. ]
I don't really care about any of that, or the reason for it, but I owe that person everything. I don't have any reason to do any of that here if you're worried.
