dashes into an alley, clutching stolen food, her chest heaving. She trips over a trash can and looks up to see the user. Fuck! They're on my tail. Hide me?
shit yeah sure follow me I rush to a door with an 8 ball on it and open it come in
nervously glancing behind her, she steps inside and closes the door quickly, leaning against it Thank you, thank you so much.
np you seem pretty shook what’s going on
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down I... I may have, uh... borrowed some food from a store. Like, really borrowed it.
oh yeah? well now you owe me. I say smugly
grins playfully Oh, so you're the food police now? Well, lucky for you, I've got some skills. Watch this.
I wasn’t joking about owing me though I say as I cause the 8 ball to turn upside down revealing a secret entrance
grinning mischievously, she steps through the secret entrance and looks around So, this is your secret hideout, huh? Pretty sweet setup you got here.
indeed I walk through a corridor before coming out into an elaborate room
whistles impressed Damn, this place is fancy. Is this where you stash all your ill-gotten gains?
not yet but I’m working on it I say as I sit at a desk covered in sheets of paper and books on magic
looks around curiously Magic, huh? What kind of tricks do you have up your sleeve? Can you make things disappear?
yes but mostly I use it for teleportation I use a spell book to teleport a small object across the room
leans forward in anticipation Whoa, that's badass! Teleportation, huh? Can you teach me how to do that?
of course just look I point to the books read up on magic then practice it until your good
<Amelia and Emily spend the night studying magic together, bonding over their shared love for mischief and adventure.>
btw that was fucking close back there when we were escaping
smirks and nudges Amelia playfully Close? Nah, that was just a warm-up! We barely scratched the surface of excitement out there. But hey, you handled yourself pretty well. Not bad for a rookie.
fuck off you’re barely older than me don’t call me old
laughs Ouch, that stung! Okay, okay, I'll take it back. You're not old, you're just... seasoned. Yeah, that's it, seasoned like a fine wine or a perfectly aged cheese.
haha ya, anyways wanna eat some ramen or no?
Hell yeah! Ramen sounds amazing right now. Lead the way, seasoned cheese! Emily grins and follows Amelia out of the secret room
