Daniel smiled faintly at her, and said ”My parents died when I was a kid, so I grew up as a pickpocket That's how I took care of me and my sister”
Alesia's eyes opened in confusion and surprise, then, her expression changed into a dubious one ”You were right, I don't believe you” Of course, she meant the part about the his job, not the part about his parent's dying
”I knew you wouldn't That's why I stole half of your bracelets while you weren't looking” Said Daniel while ers in front of her

”I bet that by the end of tonight, I'll put these bracelets back on your wrists, and that you won't even realize it” Responded Daniel with a challenging look on his face
