[he tilted his head, looking confused for a moment, before he just nodded at her.]

I have no use for your items, so I wouldn't dream of selling them.... you humans are the ones obsessed with money, after all.

....Hm. Do you own any... books?

I don't know, but you're welcome to look around here. Who knows what that creep had.

[ She shrugs. ] I mostly just want food money and clothes. It gets cold in the winter and I need something to change into. The amount of crap in here will last me a while.

....Hm. I haven't been alive long enough to experience a winter.... that will be interesting.

[what is snow when all he knows is rain.]

How old are you?

[ She'll get him a coat and a blanket. Even if he doesn't need it, she'll claim she's getting cold just looking at him. She may have a soft spot for homeless people. ]

[what an interesting concept.... he never really thought about that before.]

A few months old. [he smiled.] But I was created to look exactly like the real Battler Ushiromiya.... and he is meant to be eighteen..

You can be however old you want then. [ She shrugs. Growing up on the street, she knew you could really be however old you wanted to. It wasn't like there was anyone keeping track. ] What are the differences between you and he? Besides the obvious taste for blood.

[oh. wow. battler frowns for a moment in irritation before he goes right back to his usual smile.]

That man is a fool, and I was acting just like him for so long. He.... is an idiot that cares about friendship, and doing the right thing, and he is all about righteous justice.... it makes me sick.

He is loud and obnoxious.... and.... I will always be his shadow, it is something I cannot ever shake.

So it's something corny like you're the shadow to his light, even though he sounds like a walking headache or the worst kind of person. Let me guess? One of those people who are like [ She puts on the most chipper smile, animatedly moving around and waving her hands. ] "Oh everything is going great, ha ha ha, I'm going to worry about things like playing games and cute girls and be upbeat despite the obvious reality of everything being horrible unless it happens in front of me, in which case I have the right to condemn someone else's actions when I don't understand them." [ and then it breaks and she rolls her eyes. ]

[oh she summed him up perfectly!!! battler's smile widens and he nods at her.]

Yes, that is exactly it. He just wants to fool around and never takes things seriously... ahhh.... how I would love to strangle that moron.....

I know the feeling. I've never met that Battler, but he sounds like the kind of person I can't stand. Before Cinder's plans for Vale happened, she had me pretending to be friends with Team RWBY-- that is, your ex-girlfriend's team. I can't say I blame you for wanting to strangle all of them. I almost wish I could've been there, though I couldn't have done anything.

[ Even with Cinder in prison back then, it was still reason not to disobey orders and cause trouble. Not if she'd wanted to get her out. But now.. ]

....Ah. [at the mention of weiss he chuckles. battler puts his hands in his pockets, enjoying the casual conversation with emerald.]

Isn't it irritating...? So frustrating...? To pretend to... care... when all you want to do is harm them. You get it Emerald, you understand...

It sure was an amazing experience, if only you had been there.

I'm happy as long as they aren't, I don't have to do it by my hand. That's not how I work, even if I wasn't trying to keep my head low and bide my time back then.

[ Cinder's gone. Her name disappeared from the devices. Emerald didn't know what the hell she was doing besides sticking to Mercury like he's the last thing she has. Probably because he is. ] If I had you wouldn't have a place to hide anyway.

...True.

[battler shrugged.] I would have been out in the open... and I'm sure they would have found me.

[ Emerald goes and sits down on the floor, shrugging. ]

I'm sure you would've found some place. There are hundreds of good places to squat, keep warm, stay out of peoples' way if you know what you're looking for. Though you might've had to change into something less flashy.

Hm.... I take it you are accustomed to... hiding?

[since it sounds as though she knows what she's talking about.]

If you think my outfit is flashy... then you would have been blown away from what the other magical creatures from my world would wear.

Hiding's easy. Finding a place to stay while you're asleep is the tricky part.

They probably need some help going to the store if they're that bad. Yours is flashy within reason.

Hm.... Indeed, yes. Anyway- I think I will head into.... my new home...

[time to just rest up yupyup.]

Alright, I'm gone.

[ She waves and turns toward the door, but adds almost as an afterthought: ]

If you think anyone's snooping around here, call me before you're caught. I'll take care of it.

[ She doesn't wait for a response, instead walking out like it's none of her business. ]
