Medium dislike. She won't cut my head off or throw me out of any windows. She'll be-- [He's picturing a precise look on Yseult's face when he says this, one he knows well--] --put out, let's call it. But she's a professional, I'll say that for her, and she'll get on with it, and ultimately be glad for having a proper thief along with her. Though I imagine she'd do decently, doing all the thieving for herself. She's trickier than she presents herself, and I mean that as a compliment.
[And he does, and it shows in his voice. There's much to be admired about Yseult, and Darras would be the first one to say all of them. Nor would he be wanting to undercut her in any way, really, no matter what his argument might imply.]
There's a certain shiftiness to the compass of morality that her experience doesn't allow for. And, look, mate: if nothing else, you'd be helping me to settle a bet with her.
Whether or not I'm capable of doing honest work for the Inquisition. She reckons not. Lucky for me it won't violate the terms of that bet, if this bit of honest work has a tint of dishonesty to it. Won't be my fault, either. Just a happy coincidence.
[Smooth, confident, and charming, against all odds and grim tone:]
Suggestions are like seeds, so I thank you for the kindness, and owe you a debt of minor gratitude for it. As will the Inquisition, I imagine, when it's all a resounding success.
