*Shadi blushed, and felt an unfamiliar warmth. She grinned to try to hide it.* "And you, as an experienced man talking to a young woman, are clearly untrustworthy."

"Men in general are not to be trusted, and experience makes them all the more," *he said with a lightning-grin.*

"Well, we agree on that, anyway," *she said, returning his smile. This was... actually kind of fun.* "So what's a young girl to do?"

"Become a nun," *he said, not entirely joking as he looked at her.*

*Shadi wrinkled up her nose.* "Oh, please. Don't you have to believe in God for that?" *She shook her head.* "Nope. I'll be fine--you watch. I made it through the gutter all right, didn't I? And now look--I'm making friends and not trusting them. Isn't that worth something?"
*She rather wished he'd touch her again. Even to pinch her chin. Even if he just thought her a child... she wasn't.*

((*shudders*))
*Nadir shrugged.* "I can't counsel anyone on their relationship with God when I'm not certain He, She or It exists, anymore."

((*cackles*))
"Oh, I know he doesn't exist. I'm just saying it'd be hard to be a nun who didn't believe in God." *She leaned forward and put her chin in her hand.* "So what should we do instead?"

"Well, that was my only suggestion," *he shrugged.* "You're the anti-nun, then. I don't know what to make of that."

"Guess I'm stuck here with you and the cookies, then!" *she said cheerfully.* "I'll get fat--it'll be great."

((She just can't rile him, can she? You're really not going to let me wratchet up the angst, are you?))
"I suppose. Doesn't matter, either way." *Shadi was getting a little bored with the conversation.* "Wanna see a neat trick?" *From behind her back, she drew out his wallet and offered it to him, a twinkle in her eye.*

((Nadir only gets riled if he feels threatened. She's about as threatening as a kitten.))
*With a mild but good-natured oath, Nadir grabbed his wallet from her hand and looked at it, turning it over in his hands with a grin.* "Should I bother checking to see if there's any money left?"

*Shadi drew her eyes open wide.* "And suggest something atrocious about my character?" *She laughed, the pose falling.* "No, I left you your money, though I suppose you have plenty. Consider it... a party trick. In polite company, anyway."

"You're very much mistaken if you think I'm polite company," *chuckled Nadir, taking out a fine cigar and lighting it on the embers of the fire in the hearth.*

*Shadi shrugged.* "Not like I'd know, is it?" *She inhaled the scent of his cigar. It smelled like strength and freedom and not going hungry.* "Can I have one?"
