Steadfastly ignoring his flirting, Lhurriel leaned back in her chair with a small smile. "I  won't give away trade secrets, but those who have potential are the only ones Amery, Raymond, and I chose for partner and group tactics. We look equally at skill level and loyalty to others, because both are equally important when considering the kind of dangerous situations we use partnered thieves in. Things that require distraction, of course, but also pairing two individuals with different skills for better loot."<br/><br/>As she spoke, Lhurriel absently crossed one of her legs over the other, forgetting that tonight she had worn a short skirt, versus her usual trousers or longer peasant skirt. The bottom hem rode up high on her thighs, exposing even more smooth, pale flesh between black boots and black cloth. "As far as training goes, Raymond and I teach them ourselves, since we were most adept at partnered work." Another shift of her legs pulled the cloth higher up by an infinitesimal amount, just enough to show a peek of white underneath.
