"I just thought that…I don't know… you always seem to just DO things, so swiping a bunch of priceless scrolls and such was kind of up your alley." Flinching at me, raising my voice incredulously, Xilia scooted closer toward the window, causing me to frown deeply.
"The hell do you take me for? A petty criminal, che, the only conceivable way I raid the library of old texts was if they held actual monetary value, WHICH THEY DON'T, and as such cant be exchanged for Ark-Coins."
"AH HA! So you DID think about swiping them!"
"…we aren't stealing them, and no one can know we were even there. Do you honestly think that a bunch of old parchment detailing potential enemies and foes wouldn't be heavily guarded by Returners who are high up on the governmental food chain? Use your head a little bit, girl." Rolling my eyes and shaking my head, I focused back on the road and sped up a bit, bypassing the speed limit by a full 50 mph.
