[Well, that works too!

Taako makes quick work of taking anything seemingly valuable and/or useful out of the purse and slipping it into his own. They can go through the specifics later, but he wants to be able to toss the woman's purse aside, getting rid of the evidence and all that, which is exactly what he does as they walk towards this bar of Rin's.]

Is that gonna work if you're with a date, or are we suddenly a two for one kinda deal?

[He's kidding.

Maybe.]

She seems to have a thing for the ears, so--

[ He shrugs, grinning. ]

--could be. But I think she just likes to look.

[ He watches Taako riffle through the purse, nodding in approval as Taako transfers money, jewelry, etc., from one bag to another. Rin will maintain that he is but a simple merchant--but all businessmen are thieves. All the successful ones, anyway. ]

[It's a shame to toss away a nice purse, but - evidence, so once he's got everything valuable out of it, the poor thing goes into a bin.

The ears comment makes him laugh, but the rest...]

Oh, well, I can work with that.

[Taako says it like a joke, playing along with whatever exactly this is, but his smile is maybe a little too sharp for it to be anything but genuine on that account.

Can't blame a guy for his kinks.]

[ Rin's not here to judge. Especially not after their shared criminal activity. ]

Hell, with you along, we might even drink for free.

[ He nods to a nondescript building just ahead. It's the kind of bar that's so fancy (and pretentious) that it doesn't need to announce itself, not beyond a simple black door with a gold-embossed plate--the apothecary, in small, curving letters. ]

[He can't believe that Rin is a hipster.

(He absolutely can).]

You know, I can't think of a single way this night could get better.

[He says it with just a hint of a smirk, which ruins the innocent tone of voice.]
