"I mean, we're not invincible, so a bullet can kill us as easy as anyone." Arsen shrugged, taking a drink. "But yeah, we can get pretty old. The oldest Diviner was almost 175."

"Dios, why do you people have such long lives? Don't answer that I don't want to know," Alexa added on quickly taking another drink, "Thieves don't live much longer than, 50 I think, On average at least."

"Is it because you guys get caught?" Arsen asked, throwing the paper cup away. "Because that seems the most likely to me."

"Because our living conditions are typically shit," Alexa responded looking him dead in the eye, "We're on the bottom of the power tier and there's a lot of us, so of course no one cares if we don't live long."

"Eh. There are some pretty famous Theives, though," Arsen said. "You know, ones who use their abilities for good, instead of for self-gain."

"I hope you have some examples for me because I would argue any Thief is a good Thief," Alexa crossed her arms.

"Not all of them are." Arsen shrugged. "Melissa, from school? She's a pervert, and uses her abilities to spy on people while they are taking showers."

"Okay, she doesn't count," Alexa responded after a moment of thought, "Besides, she's still a teen and let's be honest. If you had the power you would do it too."

"No, I wouldn't." Arsen frowned, giving off an air of injured innocence. "I would never do such a thing. It hurts me that you would think that way."

"Sorry," Alexa said after sensing what he was giving off, "But to most that would definitely be something they would do with the power."

Arsen shrugged. "Well, yeah. You would probably do that, wouldn't you?" He teased, smirking slightly.

"Ew no!" Alexa responded quickly shaking her head. She made a little face fo disgust, "I don't want to see strangers naked. Besides I was too busy getting into fights and recovering to bother sneaking into the showers."

"That's what you say," Arsen responded with a wink. "But is it really true? Why were you getting in all those fights, anyway?"

"Why do you think?" Alexa replied looking dead at him, "They kept shitting on me cause I was a thief, they were shitting on me because of my heterochromia, and they were trying to flirt with me to get me into a bed with me. Those are at least 3 reasons I fought with those fuckers."

"No other reasons?" Arsen tilted his head. "And why would they do it because of your heterochromia? I think it's cool."

"Oh there are other reasons," Alexa tried to keep her cool but the thoughts were starting to rile her up, "You may think it's cool, but it's not normal. And people like to target what isn't normal and use it against a person."

"That's very true," Arsen said, noticing how this was a touchy subject. "For instance, my outstanding handsomeness. Everyone else is so jealous of it that they can't help but make fun of me."

"Oh I doubt it," Alexa rolled her eyes and leaned against the counter. She took a large swig of the grape juice, "Being handsome fits in with societal standards. Can we just drop the subject?"

"If you insist," Arsen said, sighing dramatically and slumping against the counter. He glanced at the desk, where papers were strewn all over. "Should we try to meet with the resistance?"

"It might be our best bet," Alexa replied keeping her answers short to let her temper cool down a little bit, "Or at least my best bet."

"Okay, then. And since neither of us could find a way to contact them early, we'll have to wait."

"Yep," Alexa let out a long sigh as she hopped back on top of the counter, "Let's hope we don't get caught between now and then."

"But who knows whether that will work or not," Arsen said, rubbing his face. "We can hope, and pray, but it probably won't work."

"Yeah, do you think we could go back to that bar?" Alexa suggested with a slight shrug, "We might be able to meet up with them faster that way."

"Maybe? But now that the System knows that we've been there, they might be watching the place. So if we did, we'd have to be very, very careful."
