...Which is where Luke's suggestion comes into play, but I'm well aware of the risks here.
[He speaks evenly, almost too calm and too comfortable with the topic at hand. Yes, it was a huge risk...yes, he was 'bait'...but what other options were there?]
Remember our conversation with Ace and Marco, Law? My confusion was from the use of costuming--I'm one of the greatest thieves in my world, and have convincingly masqueraded as everything and everyone from a government official to an attractive young lady, and have had no one be any wiser.
[His gaze flickers to Law, lingers there briefly.] That includes everything you can imagine a young lady would get up to with a wealthy gentleman, although I usually knocked the other guy out before it could get far.
...If you guys have another suggestion, speak up. I can almost guarantee you that the other people who can do this either use powers that can be nullified by a Shift or are little more than children who don't have the same level of experience. I don't like it, because I don't like being so vulnerable, but I'll work with whatever needs to be done to complete the illusion.
