So you’re letting me go, telling the police to go away, even though it’s going to get you in trouble with your family?
[ He couldn’t help the small smile. ]
You didn’t even know who I was but you were already going to let me go, huh. I can’t decide if I should feel flattered or dejected.
[ By the spreading grin, probably flattered. ]
Well, one good turn deserves another. Tell them it was me. It’s not like they’ll be able to find me anyway, and it’s not like I don’t have the rep to back it up. It might sound like a bit of a tall tale, but...
[ He paused, looking himself over, then down at his sleeve. Ah, well? He could repair it later. He hummed, reaching into his pocket for that same matchstick, rubbing it between his fingers to get just a little of the ignition powder, and then snapped his fingers. With a line of fire he cut away the end of his sleeve, handing the singed and smoking piece of fabric to her. ]
There. It’s enchanted to all hell, so. You valiantly tried to stop me, but I was too fast and too sneaky for you to keep your hands on. Yeah?
