[He'll receive a snort as Garrett regains a sense of stability, eyes looking to the charm, then to Corvo. Not as one where he takes offense, but more of a "don't apologize, you look stupid" kind of thing. If there's anything he hates, it's people bumbling and apologizing for their mistakes. You don't say sorry and move on, in his mind, you fix the problem first, if there even is one. He has no time for socializing.

Unlike Corvo, betrayal doesn't occur very often for the thief. Mostly because he's a thief, but also because Garrett doesn't trust anyone, save for very specific people. He's survived on his own since he was a boy, and he learned very quickly that if he wanted to make it out alive? Only trust yourself. Work alone. Stick to the shadows and survive for your sake.

When you grow up alone, you grow up strong. No one there to support you.

And no one to hold you back.

It's not hard to follow in a world where people don't care about you. After a while, it becomes second nature. What's even more compelling is how easy they become to read after a while. How they go about their lives with greed, with want, for things they have, for things they cannot have. Studying them, and their motives, is a past-time for him, to the point where he makes people uncomfortable. In turn, he learns how to make himself difficult to read, a mysterious figure who doesn't speak much, but knows more than he ever says. That's how it's always been.

Still, there is a tilt of his head, and Garrett withdraws his arms fully, choosing instead to cross them. An eyebrow raises in intrigue, and he gives a rather amused look before speaking again.]

Garrett.

[His name isn't something to take lightly, as he doesn't give it out unless he wants to- but Corvo has earned his respect at the very least, a difficult thing to do when coming across the master thief, let alone in a first meeting.]

[countervail]

[ That look? Goes entirely ignored, unperceived, as he fastens the charm back to his belt with a subtle motion of his Marked hand; done, and forgotten, resuming its intended place (and probably, intended person).

Corvo wasn't a thief (by profession, anyway), however good he may have been at slipping in and out unnoticed. He had spent his years in a court since he was a youth; he wasn't nobility, or a politician by any stretch of the term, but he was nonetheless forced into etiquette. He was curt, and straight to the point and had good posture, and when the Empress sent her Protector away, to appeal the other Isles during Dunwall's time of need, he only did so because he had to. Because the Royal Spymaster suggested it, and Jessamine agreed and ultimately, you don't say no.

It wasn't a question of trusting the Loyalists, those 'allies' that stabbed him in the back once his use expired. He relied on them and that would be the extent of it; he wished he hadn't. Technically, they were his only option. And they did get him out of jail, supply him with weapons and that mask. Carelessness was his undoing, recklessness and petty hurt after him failing the purpose he was given; after failing his dearest friend and her daughter.

The man's got his fair share of guilt, and he's stupidly lucky to be alive, with a lesson to learn and scars to heal from.

Unlike Garrett, however, he could not survive for his own sake; he would do instead so for vengeance, and for Emily Kaldwin, that little girl who lived through a little too much and who would one day rule as fair empress.

His own expression is an easy one, with a press of his mouth that could be taken as bemused. look this is the most he's talked to someone in a long while ok ] Corvo Attano.

[ wow he is so grateful garrett he's even giving you his in return ] Well played.

[ in turn, master thief, you left quite an impression. ]

[blackhand]

Not so bad yourself.

[To receive a compliment from him is rare, the smirk coming with it showing he's impressed. You left a good impression on him, too, Corvo. He won't ever admit to giving it, he's too proud to, but it's there nonetheless.

It's a good thing Basso isn't around, otherwise he'd hound Garrett endlessly for it. Probably try to hire Corvo, too.

There's silence for a moment, and Garrett uncrosses his arms and looks over the other again. Definitely not someone who would stick out, but not a forgettable face, either.

With one foot pulling him back into the shadow, he lets out an amused huff.]

A small tip: Stay on your toes.

[Because they'll meet again. He knows they will. And when they do, it may or may not be just like this encounter, or something entirely different.

You never can really tell, with people such as them.

Garrett's eye flickers briefly, as if to signal a sign of approval somewhere, before he pulls up his cowl and is swallowed by the darkness once more. A second later, and he's gone, a shadow the only memory of him ever being there in the first place.

Until next time, Corvo.]
