Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)
"I see. Well, I'm only known as Adelle myself. And don't worry about not having a kettle. I'm not overly picky honestly. Coming from a... not so wealthy background and all, you learn to make do and like just about anything," Adelle replied, smiling softly at his apology of having no kettle for the tea.
Adelle took her cup when it was filled and smiled as she bowed her head politely in thanks for the tea, as she was quite thirsty and in need of something to wet her throat. When he spoke again, Adelle took a couple of sips of her tea, blowing softly on it to cool it off before she looked back at him and set her cup back down. She took a breath and opened and closed her mouth a couple of times, as if trying to come up with the proper response.
"Aye, it's true, some things that would very likely be considered very bad for business came about. I won't lie, I was a part of it. Though... unknowingly so until I arrived in the storage room I guess it was where the... blueprints were," Adelle replied, sighing softly and taking another sip of her tea before looking back up at Timotheus. "The lady that I was with at the time, Rosieta, didn't tell me what we were looking for, only that I would know when we found it. Well... just before the man who came in shot me with that beanbag, which by the way was very uncalled for as I was trying to kick Rosieta for bringing me in on this stupid job, she pulled a gun on me because I was trying to hide the most dangerous sets of blueprints in my backpack from her so that she and her boss didn't get their hands on them. But she caught me doing so, which was why I was naked when he came in, as she told me to strip down to see if I was hiding anything else from her. I'd wager though if he hadn't come in when he did that I would be dead now most likely," Adelle went on to say to Timotheus.
"If I had known what it was she was wanting me to help her steal and who it was from, which by the way she never said either, then I would have told her to piss off and find someone else. The only reason I even considered the job though was because her boss paid very well for another job I did for him. And speaking of stealing, a rather good friend of mine made me a custom gun which was taken from my things that I would very much like back. She's a very good friend and it would be an insult to her if I lost the gift she took the time out of her life to make for me," Adelle said after taking another drink of her tea. "I'm not a snitch who'd tell just anybody anything, just so you know. But when someone betrays me like that, then they're by god not gonna get any sympathy from me, nor will they get any loyalty from me in keeping my mouth shut about who they are and who they work for. Besides, Rosieta and her boss... they're some bad apples in this town... some very bad ones that'll stop at nothing to get what they want, no matter who they have to eliminate to do it. You, me, doesn't matter to them," she added, taking another drink of her tea and finishing that cup off and setting it back down, accepting another cup graciously if it was offered to her.
