She watched him interestedly. “How do you do that? You only have two hands.”

"Well, I throw them all up, then as I catch each one I throw it to my other hand and toss it back up. Simple."

"Well, I can throw it with both hands instead so I don't lose the time to transferring each ball." He demonstrated.

It seemed so fragile—so ready to fall at any second. But it didn’t. She shook her head. “Huh.”

"Here." He stopped, and tossed her a ball. Starting back up, he said, "Throw me that one."

She looked at him oddly, but did so.

He caught it, and began juggling it as well, never faltering.

She watched, mouth barely open, almost entranced. She shook it off and fiddled with the catch to her bag.

"What's in there?"

“Oh… my flute. A notebook.” A dagger, still bloody. “Nothing much.”

Without missing a beat, he leaned it to look inside. His eyes widened, and he stopped juggling, catching each of the four balls in turn.

She snapped it closed. “What?” She asked defensively. “What’s wrong?”

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's a bloody knife in that bag."

Her eyes gleamed. “The blood of a king…” she said softly. “Or one just as powerful. Why would I wash the blood off that?”

He paled slightly, but maintained his composure. "Should I be afraid?"

“No. My work is no concern of yours.” She smiled in memory and shifted the other things on top of the dagger. “I very much doubt you’re important enough to worry.”

"So what are you? An assassin?"

“Yep… partly. But I don’t just kill anyone. Just the ones I feel like killing.”

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"So you... kill for fun? Whoever you feel like?"

He coughed awkwardly. "Well, I'll try not to let this new development put a damper on our budding friendship. Uh... who have you killed?"

“That’s between me and my clients. Though I will say most of them were crime lords.” She smiled a little. “It brought in good money—money we needed.”

He took a deep breath. "Okay. I need to calm down, I think." And with that, he turned into a penguin.

She jumped a little. “Oh, yeah. Go ahead.” Then she turned back to the fire.
