It was clear in Zale's gaze just how much he was enjoying the reaction from Val. The way the other gaped at him, the words that left the elf's lips. "Yes, Master, duties like," a hand reached out, pressing against the other's chest lightly and leaning in just a bit closer. "Taking care of you. Perhaps my Master would like a massage? Such a strong man, I am sure you must be sore. Perhaps I can... help to ease that some?"

“Well fuck...” Val found himself needing to take a moment to catch his breath in the onslaught of...everything that Zale had hit him with. It was practically dizzying, and without meaning to the elf found himself leaning ever so slightly into the other’s touch, unable to tear his gaze from him.

“Massage?” Distracted hands reached out to settle around Zale’s waist. “Uh, sure, if you want to...”

Val had grown pretty familiar with the voices of the various thieves in the new group he and Alexa found themselves in and yet when an unfamiliar voice woke him, Val found himself instantly snapping awake. Had one of the Moores’ goons found them? Was he the first one they got to or was everyone else-- Val instantly sprung up into a crouch, reaching for the gun underneath his pillow but an uncharacteristic bout of clumsiness instead had him toppling over onto the soft sheets. Shit.

His eyes first fixed themselves on the unfamiliar man, then in confusion at the shifting blonde hair around him as his mind began to whirl in confusion. Glancing even further down to the source of his upset balance, Val was greeted by the sight of a bare chest with a lot more flesh then was there when he first went to sleep. “Oh, what the hell is this?” Val groaned in surprise, his eyes flicking back up and taking the man in again. Now that he focused, some of the features looked familiar, and taking into account what seemed to have happened to him... “The hell did you steal this time, Bijou?”

“I don’t like this.” Alexa muttered quietly into her earpiece, slinking further into the shadows. Her eyes scanned the area diligently, looking for any hint of movement outside the house. Her fingers curled around the grip of her gun, the other hand skimming idly over a knife sheathed at her side. They hadn’t received orders to kill on sight but her master made it clear that this thief couldn’t get away with anything.

“I know, Lex, don’t worry about it. We’ll get them. Let’s just count ourselves lucky the family’s off fora few days, can you imagine trying to do this with everyone in the way?” Val snorted in amusement into the darkened halls on the inside of the manor, making no effort to hide his presence as he walked around. He doubted the knowledge of someone being in the house would scare their little thief off the job, they had apparently faced far more on their heists of other families’ valuables, but it was worth a shot. If they did show up he at least hoped they could handle things as nicely as possible, for Alexa’s sake if nothing else.

Val sighed, padding silently through the dark alley. He’d been sent to do some info gathering. This type of job could’ve easily been done by any of Moore’s other grunts, but Val had a feeling being sent on a late night job like this was partly “punishment” for some small infraction that he must’ve done. But, as annoyingly simple as it was to complete, at least it was done and he could go get some rest now. Then suddenly, goosebumps rose on his arms and he heard a shuffle of movement behind him. Val instantly whirled around, his hand reaching down into a hidden holster to flip the safety off of his gun and aim it towards the noise in one smooth movement. His finger only tightened on the trigger when his eyes landed on a darkened figure and Val held still for a moment only to realize that the guy had, in fact, not been trying to secretly jump him and now he’d just pulled a gun on a random stranger. “Oh shit, uh...sorry.” The boy said lamely, flipping the safety on and quickly sliding the weapon back where it came from, giving the other a sheepish grimace. “I guess I’m a little jumpy.”

I told myself I was going to do Val’s tag dump when I got back from eating but then I forgot. It’s a curse.
