[DADAN-MANG] "AHA!"
[YAOZHI] "BOOOYAAAAAA!"
Yep, there he is, on the roof only a few minutes later. And in his usual getup too. He grunts and jumps down in front of me, with his Fu Dog companion in tow. He takes a haughty, prideful stance in front of me, grinning wide with all his un-brushed teeth on display. He even raises his arms and glances at his flexing biceps, as if it intimidates me, before he raises his sword at me up to just below my chin.
[DADAN-MANG] "Well, well, well. Looky what we've got here, Yaozhi! That same dame we pummeled in Siegesia, come to try and sniff out my secret base, eh? Well, stitches get snitches."
[YAOZHI] "Other way around."
[DADAN-MANG] "And I've got a lot of sewing needles for stiches. Mostly because I stole them all. SO NOW I'LL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO-"
[WEI] "HEY!" Shouted a patrolman down the street.
[DADAN-MANG] "-DOH!"
[WEI] "QUIET DOWN. CURFEW SOON."
The Bandit King grumbled under his breath as the Wei patroller moved on. He was clenching his fist and gritting his teeth.
[MAJORDOMO] "I like this implication that the guards don't think he's a bandit king at all, but just some kook that does his a lot in this commune."
The Bandit King cleared his throat, lifting his chin before he looked at me, leaning on his sword again.
[DADAN-MANG] "Now, if you don't want me cutting yer tongue out, better speak up. How'd you find the Outlaw Demigod?!"
'You literally admitted you live with your mother.'
[DADAN-MANG] "Hey, hey! Pipe down! Be quiet! Do what the guard said!" He hushed me. Looking left and right, he lowered his neck, looking mighty embarrassed; "D-Don't tell her what I do for a living, it'd make her shout at meeee...!"
'What? Don't you have a job? You were wearing a salaryman's getup back there.'
[DADAN-MANG] "It's just a side job! Well, was a side job, but then I got fired... so I just pretend I still have a job so she doesn't hit me with the broom! Ma wouldn't approve of how I actually get riches!"
'You mean a paycheck.'
[DADAN-MANG] "Fencing pays better than wearing a stinkin' tie every day and dealin' with people I wanna punch!"
The Bandit Outlaw sighed.
I don't know whether I should look down on him for living like this, or...
[DADAN-MANG] "And my real name's Wu. Hu Wu, fer yer stinkin' information. Now what do you want from me?! Spit it out already."
'You did consider what I told you last time about abandoning your truly malicious ways, right?'
He scratches his head. Just the little bit of hair he has on it and twists his ridiculously big mustache between his fingers.
[DADAN-MANG] "I fergot."
My turn to sigh.
>How do I explain I've come to Redeem him into a samaritan thief without making him think I'm gonna completely change his life and love of theft?
