Renald suddenly smiled.

"Why not today? This day is good as anyday and you are still young so there is a world full of possibilities out there for you besides you would be safe because the guards wouldn`t be after you... being free is no crime..."

Relena sighed slightly, "I stay because I'd have no where to go. I stay because I like having the company of others...not living alone with no one to talk to. In some way, it feels like I am actually wanted here, which is different from everywhere else. Even if these people are thieves and murderers...at least they talk to me, at least they don't look past me...even if it is only because I bring them food and water."

Renald shook his head.

"Look you wouldn`t be lonely... there are many just like us and we keep care of our own one`s eventough we wouldn`t know them, we are all in there together trying to survive the best we can even with the ways of crime..."

Adastrea sighed slightly, "That is enough about me...tell me about yourself. I know you parents died and you were left as a thief in the streets...is there anything else to your life?"

Renald raised his finger up with an amused look on his face.

"The thrill... of being a thief and doing something, which is forbidden by the law... I have many friends out there and we all keep together... "

She smiled slightly, keeping something to herself, "So do your friends try to help you if you get caught? Mine did no....So you do it for the thrill, it must be an exciting life."

"Why don`t you try it out?"

Renald played with his fingers on the bench with a smile.

Adastrea hesitated and looked around the dungeon, when she saw no guards were around she looked back at him, "I told a small lie..." She said very quietly.

Renald couldn`t help smiling.

"How wouldn`t have? but tell me what did you lie about?"

Relena hesitated and bit her lip slightly and said in a lowered voice, "I am a thief...but the guards would never take me as one since I work in the dungeon...I wasn't going to start, but there were some children in the streets who were near death...I stole food for them and someone else got blamed for it. I had to get him out before he was hung, so I stole a key from a guard and let him free...he was supposed to get me out of this dungeon, but he just left on his own. I still steal occassionally for food for others and sometimes myself...they do not really give the best food to the prisoners here and that is what I am given to eat as well."

Renald smiled.

"Well... working under the guards noses proves that you my young friend have some serious talent... what if you would be able to sneak out to do more than food stealing?"

"What else would I steal?" Adastrea asked silently. "I do not really need anything else while I am still a servant. "Or are you wanting me to get a key to let you out of here so you can skip all the 'good' work and go back to what you are good at?"

Renald smiled widely.

"Oh no.. they will let me out of here and I`ll be running once I am out of here, then I`ll do what I am best at and haven`t you ever thought of money? Pickpockets or sneaking into someone`s home taking their money?"

She hesitated, "I have thought about it, but I have not done it yet." She was quiet a moment, "If i ever leave here i will probably steal some money, but leavinghere is highly unlikely."

"So you want to live safely without risks... sure that`s your choice.."

Renald shrugged and finished his meal, he then put his hood on his eyes with a certain disappointment and closed his eyes.

"Leave me be..."

She looked at him, not sure what she said to disappoint him. She sighed and stood up and walked away, going to the other prisoners and talking to them quietly.
