XFaden: This is a new low.
Murphy: Anybody stealin' might be talkin' to Sullivan too.
Faden: Yeah, but why us?
Murphy: Darwin don't think we'd steal.
Faden: Bullshit. You don't make valuable people count boxes. You shove it off on some kid or whoever's pissed you off lately. Everybody know that. Sorry. It just gets old sometimes, don't it? Watchin' a kid like Darwin flail around when you know what he should do. Grittin' you teeth an' followin' orders when you know they ain't the best. Know what I mean?
Murphy: No.
Faden: C'mon, you can't tell me --
Murphy: Graham thought like you though. He was older an' bigger an' he'd been sleepin' with Edie, so I guess he thought he was owed bein' tete. Darwin gave him a nice funeral.
Faden: Right. Well, that explains why we so light on muscle. An' how a pair a nothings like Jamon an' Kiesha got so far up the ladder. What a waste. At least Kiesha's a nice piece of ass, not that Darwin --
Murphy: Kiesha's my sister.
Faden: ... The chances of you not mentionin' this little talk to Darwin are zero now, ain't they?
Murphy: If it makes you feel better, they always was.

The Thief Who Pulled on Trouble's Braids by Michael McClung
The fellow thief who stuck Amra Thetys with a horrifyingly ugly statue was a friend. Now she wants answers. Chief among them: what about that statue has put an immortal assassin and a mad sorcerer on her tail?
