HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope everyone's recovering from their night of partying.

I LOVE the first of January. There's nothing like it, is there? There's a whole year stretching out in front of me and I know that I'm going to make the very best of it. The most exciting part? I'm not going to be alone on the journey.

And check this out:

Me llamo Will. Necesito un maletero.

Heh. That's sort of a joke since that's supposed to say, "My name is Will. I need a porter." I'm a dork. But I am going to try and learn a few little phrases every day.

For Orli:

I love the way you rub your eyes when you first wake up in the morning.

(I'm serious about telling you something every day, sweetie.)

You know, I'll talk to Orlando and seriously consider that, Kate. Thanks!

Just let me know when, darlin' lad and I'll pop up and ready the place. And if you decide to take in a bit of the night life, you can motor down to Edinburgh and I'll show you where to find a bit o' fun.

You're going to be quite the hostess! Seriously, you're so sweet to us.

[thief-caitir.livejournal.com]

Oh but darlin', I'll be the perfect hostess and leave you a full larder, a car to drive and and a nice empty cottage so the two of you can be alone, with no one the wiser where in the world you've run off tae. You want to see my smiling face, you can motor off down tae Edinburgh, where my house is, other than that you two will be all to your ownsome, just the Loch, the cot and the sheep.

Oh god, that sounds like heaven!

[thief-caitir.livejournal.com]

Then name the day, laddie and I'll have everything ready.

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

I think we'll definitely have to make it a stop when we start our traveling. I'll let you know!

[thief-caitir.livejournal.com]

Ooo traveling, where do you plan to go first?

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

We threw a dart at a map of the world and it landed on Qatar. But I'm thinking somewhere a little more beach-y and less war adjacent.

[thief-caitir.livejournal.com]

I think I would pick a slightly less unstable place, myself.
*giggles*
Besides, they really don't make good mojitos there.

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmm...mojitos...

[thief-caitir.livejournal.com]

Meself, I'd take the tropics and the Orient. I always love it when a job takes me there.

You've really traveled the world being a thief?

*laughs*
Dear heart, I've stolen wee baubles from the wealthy on every continent. Don't worry for them, they can well afford to lose what I take and more beside and I'm verra choosy about the comissions I take on.

Re: locked from the authorities

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

That's amazing to me. I couldn't do it, and I shouldn't think it's cool, I'm sure, but...it's cool!

*grinning*
Aye, it's an wicked wench that I am and the worst is I havenae shame in it.

*serious*
Thieving and other things kept me from starving while I was alone and mun shift for meself, but you mun think me an amoral lass, for I never did hurt to a soul nor maltreated any. Those I steal from are wicked and callous in their own right and have nae true claim to the treasures I take or at least nae more than those who pay me to take them.

Re: locked from the authorities

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't judge what you've had to do to survive because it's not as if I'm some moral authority. Just be careful! If the people you take things from are wicked and callous, they probably wouldn't think twice about hurting you.

Dinna fash yourself, laddie, I've yet to ever even be seen. I am a sneak thief after all, what I believe you Yanks call a cat burgular.

Re: locked from the authorities

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

That's kinda sexy!

Re: locked from the authorities

[thief-caitir.livejournal.com]

*sly teasing grin*
And would you care to find out how sexy it is, laddie buck.

Re: locked from the authorities

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

*trying not to blush* That would depend on exactly how I'd be finding out...

Re: locked from the authorities

[thief-caitir.livejournal.com]

*laughs*
Dinna fash, laddie, I willna touch on what virtue you may have. What I propose is a wee test on your own home, I assume with your man being who he is there is security and who better to test it and find the weaknesses than a thief.

Re: locked from the authorities

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I actually like the sound of that idea...

Re: locked from the authorities

[thief-caitir.livejournal.com]

I can teach you how it's done, but you must not tell me anything about the system. I'll show you how a thief would find all they need online and in public record, then I'll show you how it can be breeched and how you may go about fixing the flaws. When I'm done with your security a mouse will nae find a way in without tripping the alarms.

Orlando is going to love that! We both are. I'm always worried about something happening to him.
