he's always attracted an audience, whether he realizes it or not. it's how she recognizes him now. how long has it been? it's like seeing a ghost. flynn walks smoothly through the crowd and acts as if he belongs there. he makes small talk here and there then he's pickpocketing someone's watch the next moment. from where she's standing off to the side, she can watch him openly without drawing any attention to herself. odette knows she should look away and pretend like she hasn't seen him. the last thing she needs is for someone from her past to see her in her present. but she is finding that no matter how long it's been, she's like a moth drawn to a flame when it comes to him. she wonders if he feels the same in some way, because his eyes lock on hers from across the room. she almost forgot how brown his eyes are. they almost crack her open right there. instead, odette excuses herself from the woman who has come up to her to make small talk about her father's company (when? she does not know) when she sees him weaving his way through the crowd towards her. she meets him in the middle. "some things never change i see." she watches as he pockets someone's ring. "just here to steal from wealthy people? i doubt any of them will notice anyway." the contents of his pocket must be over 10k by now. "all things considering..."
