"If my technology, something that I know to be very real, can be mocked by someone like you, then so can your mythology." She growled to Axel after hearing the threat. "And I most certainly won't be giving you my money."
She zoned out for another moment, shaking her head to try and think of another solution. She felt a sharp sort of embarrassment at having stood out here so long while trying to scavenge a couple marks in front of the Wasps members. It continued to sting as she tried to think of a way out of this. Simon was a smart-ass, but he was smart in his own way. Perhaps he could persuade the doorman to--
Her attention was suddenly caught by the human's skinny finger pointing toward some wide-eyed little boy on the end of the street. She felt confusion settle over her for a moment before it cleared like overcast clouds from a sky. She took a couple steps forward as self-righteous frustration stewed in her. "I'm sorry," She hissed out to avoid alerting the child. "You were going to rob a child, Redcaster?" She shot a glare to him, gesturing to the Hive advertiser. "You're smart, just smooth-talk your way through the door! You can--" She stopped, cutting herself off for a moment as she felt the gears turn momentarily in her head. "... You could go over and convince the kid to lend some money. He seems innocent enough, just go on about how you really want to see the show and only need about four marks for you and your friend. There're no legal repercussions involved if you manage that." She glanced once to the child again, then back to Simon before giving a casual shrug. But if you two can't manage something like that, then go ahead, show the Wasps that we're a gang that needs to steal from kids to get by."
She hoped her delivery wasn't awkward, and once again found herself hoping and praying that the subtle ego-stroking and less-than-subtle reverse psychology would be enough to make them settle for something less... morally dubious. She was a thief at this point, a member of an illegal gang, but even she had standards.
