"Probably not, but I can see if it can be worked out. If the meeting with the Resistance works out, maybe we can get their help, too, to do it." Arsen shrugged. "I can try."

"Yeah maybe," Alexa responded with a little sigh. She let the smile tug on her lips once more, "Thank you for even thinking about trying."

Arsen shrugged, looking uncomfortable. "That's what friends do, isn't it?" He asked, trying for a small smile.

"Yeah, yeah it is," Alexa responded her smile growing, "Does this mean we're friends now rich boy?"

"Are we? Does this count as a friendship, or a partnership?" Arsen asked, raising an eyebrow at her, trying to fight against the smile that was threatening to cross his lips as well.

"I would say friendship," Alexa said glancing at him with a smile. She didn't bother trying to fight it, "I mean we were partners, but I think this is a little further than that. You don't mind being friends with a Theif like me?"

"I dunno," Arsen said, in a mock-despaired voice. "I might be shamed in polite society. Imagine being friends with a Thief! It would be horrible, and my reputation would be destroyed." He shook his head sadly. "I don't think it will work out."

Alexa shoved his shoulder a little as she laughed. She could tell that he was mocking, teasing, whatever, "Oh shuddup. It'll be fine and you know it."

"No it won't!" Arsen shouted dramatically, placing a hand on his head and leaning back in mock defeat. "I could die! You are such a heartless person!"

"If anyone's dying it'll be me," Alexa responded watching him while leaning on her hand, "You may die socially, but I would die literally."

"No you won't," Arsen said, waving a dismissive hand. "You're smart. You've got invisibility. You'll be fine."

"Aw you think I'm smart," Alexa responded with a slight laugh and coo.

"Smart enough." Arsen mock scowled. "Stop twisting my words around! It's not nice!"

Alexa was still laughing Arsen being unable to get any reaction from her whether he wanted one or not, "I'm simply saying what you said. And you said I'm smart."

"You're making me regret my words," Arsen said with an offended sniff. "Stop it, or I will take back every nice thing I've ever said to you."

"You wouldn't dare," Alexa responded looking at him with a bit of a pouty face. She knew he was joking, but it still hurt, "I will take back my words too."

"I absolutely do mean it," Arsen said, crossing his arms and sticking his nose into the air. "And if my memory serves me right, you've never given me a compliment, or a kind word, since we've met."

"I do remember a thing about discussing who had a better ass where I did stay you have a decent ass," Alexa responded with a little smile on. She couldn't keep the pout on for long.

"That doesn't count." Seeing her smile, Arsen broke into a grin. "I might forgive you if you give me a genuine compliment, you horrible person."

"Okay fine, you pretentious rich boy. You're actually kind of a nice person," Alexa responded with a little smile as she shrugged, "Does that count?"

"I guess." Arsen made a pouty face. "Are you saying that I'm only a little bit nice? Because that's mean, and it hurts my delicate feelings."

"No, you're nice," Alexa responded with a little laugh, "Just a bit unexpected that's all."

"Unexpected?" Arsen made a face at her. "I can't tell if that's a good thing or not. Is it a good thing?"

"It's a good thing," Alexa confirmed still laughing, "Sorry, just you were such an ass in the beginning remember?"

"You mean I'm not an ass now?" Arsen gasped, bolting to his feet. "Oh no! My reputation! My poor, poor reputation! How will I ever be able to look you in the eye and cuss you out again?"

Alexa was laughing as she watched him. She turned to make sure she could still see him, "Oh be quiet. You're still an arse don't get me wrong, but your more of a bearable arse now. So go ahead and cuss me out all you want."

"Well, my name is Arsen, so, I mean, you're right about that part." Arsen sighed dramatically. "How will I ever survive? I can't cuss you out now without you laughing at me. Shame." He shook his head.

"You'll be fine," Alexa kept laughing as she smiled over at him, "I think you're going delirious from lack of sleep. So go on, get some. I'll see if I can find a faster way to contact the rebellion okay?"

"Fine." Arsen shrugged. "You could try, but I doubt anything will happen. The resistance has to keep its secrets, and so they probably set up the date for a reason." He shrugged and went to his room. "Wake me up if the hotel is burning."

"Got it," Alexa responded taking a seat and going into his research. She would have to catch up first before continuing on, but it shouldn't be that hard.
