He recites his address in a Tabby-only whisper.

His friends have scattered. "They never really liked me, you know. Don't blame them for my stealing?"

Permalink

"You humans aren't that hard to tell apart."

 

 

Permalink

"You know what I mean."

Permalink

"Joke. Now go forth and sin no more!"

Permalink

"...Roger that."

Good deed for the decade done, she decides to take a short break. Or at least, make sure the area surrounding Nick is secure. 

"You were human pretty recently, why do they do silly things?"

Permalink

"Many, many reasons. That guy's story sounded fake to me... But if you didn't smell him lying, I guess I can believe it."

Permalink

"See, that's what I mean. Why try stealing right in front of a vampire?"

Permalink

"Didn't realize you were there. Thought it was a fake story. Thought you were weaker than the story says. Wasn't thinking."

Permalink

"Yeah, because everyone would decide to tell the same story about the dread punker queen who can bend steel bars with one hand."

Shrug. "Want a pair of ice skates?"

Permalink

"Maybe 'cause you have to pay for them. I'm doing good business, here."

Permalink

"Poor humans with their sensitive feet."

Permalink

"It's more slide-y if you have the skates."

Permalink

"Okay, what's the price?"

Permalink

"Six bullets or equivalent value for a pair."

Permalink

She pushes through her still strong loathing for footwear, and slips them on, heading out onto the ice. She's awkward and unsteady....for about a minute. Then she's gliding across the ice with unnatural grace and speed.

Permalink

Quite a few people decide to record her acrobatics!

After a few minutes Nick appears with skates of his own, and seems intent on outdoing her. Faster, more spinny, whatever.

Permalink

She will keep up by making it into a dance! Somehow!

"Aren't you worried about kids taking your skates?" she asks while circling around him. "Where'd you get them anyway?"

Permalink

"Not really." Backflip. "And secret!"

Permalink

And suddenly they're both being held by the arm and escorted out of the ice rink. "That's enough, you two. You're scaring everyone. If you're going to skate, be tame about it."

Permalink

Tabby squirms. "Yeah, the people with their phones out were real scared. And the humans don't have to be tame."
