[Something cuter? Nott could just give a name that's much shorter, though she's a bit too tipsy to think of a good one at the moment, but now she's wondering what kind of nickname she'd get from Yohane.]
Like what?

[She flinches a bit at the mention of murdering and setting on fire of family.
A life... If it's truly necessary, Caleb might be better off not knowing. But, no, this is important. She'll tell him either way. It's up to him what he's willing to do.]
Well, if all you needed was to kill someone, people would be time traveling left and right.

Yup, we all work together. And of course there are specialties. We have a wizard, a cleric, a weird guy, another weird guy, a monk, a really strong girl, and me. Sometimes we have a bird. And a cat.
[This is perfectly valid and real, she doesn't know why he's getting so suspicious about it. There are all sorts of groups of people who do all sorts of things, why not adventuring and slaying beasts?]

I didn't even actually get rope out of the deal! Anyway, you're the one that said you might cheat! You rigged it from the start!!
[She may be drunk enough to bamboozle herself, but she's not too drunk to remember that.]

[Very rude. Borderline offensive. Just because she's a goblin! And besides, she doesn't have a weapon to mug him with. Though she may wish she had one soon enough.]
Well, I'm not doing that. That's a good way to get myself locked up or killed. I'm not pushing my luck, okay? And it's mine now anyway. So what do I give you to leave me alone?

[Okay, not a tabaxi. But oh shit he knows Cree-- wait no not at all. Nott's face does some gymnastics but she quickly relaxes with relief.]
No, Cree is a lady. And it's pretty good you don't know her, she's bad news.
I guess you probably don't know what I am, then. [...] Which is a halfling. Just a regular ol' halfling over here.
[If he's whatever a miqo'te is, he may not know what a goblin is. Which is both bad for him and good for her.]

[ He tilts his head a bit, but then it clicks for him. It’s not as though Cree is an unusual name, so there is bound to be more than one out there in the great wide array of universes. ]
Ah. Different Crees then. I can’t say the one here is exactly upstanding either, but…
[ A shrug. Every city has their underbelly, and it is no different for Olympia and Wyver. With that little misunderstanding out of the way, he is left to consider his small new friend. ]
You are similar in height to a race of peoples from my home. Lalafells, they are called. But, you are right. I’ve never heard of a halfling before.

[She's also similar in height to a halfling, which is the only way this ruse ever works. Granted, it usually works when she's fully disguised herself with magic, but now that people don't know what either a goblin or a halfling is, it works even better.
Not that it particularly needs to, all things considered, but she likes to cover her bases.]
Well. Halflings are great. They're all about my height. So... now you know.

[ And Yoshiko just griiiiins. This might not mean much to Nott but it's obvious that cute nickname + honorifics mean a good deal to Yoshiko. ]
You're welcome, Pit-chan. [ There's a small little pause before, ] This means we're friends now, by the way.

[ Maybe if she were better at explaining all of this instead of calling half her party 'that weird guy' it would all sound much better to him.
Instead he's left with a vague half-formed image in his head of a collection of creatures, all the same size as she—with maybe the exception of the cleric and strong girl. Those he can summon forth just fine, even if they look awfully like Lissa and Sully caricatures in his head. ]
Sometimes a bird and a cat? Can you truly count them as part of your group then? Shouldn't you rename yourselves to be the Mighty Seven?
[ Will he ever stop nitpicking, no. ]

| | I said I might cheat to dissuade you from betting against me on something where I held all the cards. I never said that I would. Honestly, the only thing you have to blame is your own assumptions. |
[ She has to admit that's true, and Bree nods. ]
I think it's more like a...a feeling. Like being called to the stones. She - my mother - said there was a sort of low humming sound? But only she could hear it. I don't know if something chose her or if it was something else completely. Either way, she's done it three times.
[ This is, honestly, the most she's ever thought about it, really. And it's enough to make her head hurt. ]
Sorry, I don't really know that much about it, I'm realizing. I have no idea who does.

[ And Yoshiko gives Nott this big, slightly soppy, 'holy shit I can't believe you just said that' grin. ]
I'm impressive?!
[ she is so fuckin happy to hear that, it's a little bit concerning. And then, without really thinking, she leans over to give Nott a big ol'hug. ]
Thank you so much, Pit-chan!

[ Amusement flickers over his features, though maybe he shouldn't really find anything funny about that. But he's self-aware enough (just barely) to realize he's probably not going to leave her alone anytime soon - not until one of them pays for the rat, anyway. ]
Dunno what your definition of ownership is, buuuut pretty sure it's not yours 'til you pay for it. [ But he can already tell that argument is going nowhere fast. So, a change in tactic! ] Hey, what if you give it to me, and I'll take it back for you. I'll say I found it on the street or somethin'! Foolproof plan.
[ His plans are rarely foolproof, but hey. It might work! ]

[Nott wishes she had something to take notes on. Just a feeling? What does that mean? And her mother's description of what she heard...]
Well... if both of these people managed to do it, they must have figured out something. Even if your mom did it on accident. Could she control it at all, or did it just take her wherever? Or... whenever?
