That's a rough neighborhood for a kid

[kleptocratic]

So. Rougher for you, probably.

[ He's not an idiot who fights. ]

[apathet]

Yeah, probably
You saw me at the rings, what about it?

[kleptocratic]

Also, you're cheating.

[apathet]

[ ...huh ]

And?

[kleptocratic]

I'd like to know how, obviously.

[apathet]

What did you see?

[kleptocratic]

You don't know how to fight but you win more often than not.

[apathet]

Ouch. It's that obvious?

My power. They hurt more, I hurt less. Profit

[kleptocratic]

Where I come from there's nothing to do all winter except weave linens and practice at swordplay.

Being a cripple, I traditionally have the choice of watching people weave linens or practice at swordplay.

Your friend who fights with you, what's his deal?

[apathet]

Tough choice

[ To bring Kovacs into it or try and keep the spotlight?

Maybe a couple questions of her own first. ]

So you were down there looking to reminisce over winters gone by?

[kleptocratic]

My wife is here now and I don't think she'd want me to be poor.

[apathet]

You were there to bet

[kleptocratic]

I was there to bet.

[apathet]

I can loop you in. I'll stake you the bets, get you in on nights we need you, and you get 40% of the profit on any bet I have you make. A bonus any time you manage to noticeably tip the odds all by yourself

[kleptocratic]

You know, the thing I like about stealing is that it is something I can do on my own.

[ He's in, he just needs some time to complain about it. ]

[apathet]

You know, the thing your wife likes about you making money is that you're not poor.

[ Are you going to look a gift horse in the mouth ]

[kleptocratic]

What if she doesn't want me to be a cheat? Wives don't like cheats, that's what I'm told.
