Kid didn’t pull away, but did raise an eyebrow at the other suddenly moving closer to whisper something to him. At the words, though, he let out a small laugh and turned to look at her.
“Hmm…. It can be a lie. But it can also be turned into truth. Hope is wishing for something, so there’s no guarantee that what you want will always happen. But even if the outcome doesn’t seem likely to happen, is holding on to a small lie so bad?”
“Unless she had no will to live a normal life, though I’ll admit though she is quite the odd one.” She said with a shrug. "Though a willing host is easier to deal with then one who fights all the time.“
She was not happy with the lack of a real emotional response, there was something but not much and she couldn’t quite place what it was.
"And do you consider taking over a person’s life a healthy thing?” she added. “If so I’d guess I’m not a parasite.”
Taking the lack of a reaction to her movement as a good thing, she moved a little closer again. It was dark and she was willing to risk getting close to the so called unpredictable thief for a bit of a better look.
He tilted his head forward to let the shadows fall further, but still no other reaction to her actually coming closer. And he still had a slightly amused smile. Mostly still caught up in curiosity than worry, even if he maintained the general caution he had as a thief.
“Well, I can’t say whether or not it’s healthy… depends on the person, really. If they were self-destructive to begin with, then yeah, it might. But you do have a point… perhaps you could be a part-time parasite? I mean, she let you in of her own will right now, so you aren’t really one if you aren’t taking something from her she wasn’t willing to give.”
