It was at this point that, right on cue, the beads of sweat began to form on Ty's brow, but he merely nodded when she spoke. "Fair enough," was all he said at first. "Besides, that's just an added bonus. I just like spending time with ya, honestly. Though really I was just making a point that if I couldn't do anything but sit around a house or room, I'd go crazy."

He shrugged casually, and spent the rest of his meal in silence as he ate. Six hot wings, three breadsticks, six pieces of pizza and a cup of soda later, Ty was finally full. He leaned back in his chair, relaxing. "Okay...I'm officially good for exactly nothing."

During the following silence, Tses ate quietly and simmered away the last little bit of irritation. The nice thing about her rather temperamental nature was as quickly as she got angry, she tended to calm down almost as fast. By the time they had finished eating, she had almost forgot his little slip up, and then she yawned and sat back in her seat. She watched people moving past for a moment, stuffed animals, flowers and chocolates in many of the figures arms, and shook her head.

"I'll never understand it. The cuteness is making me gag." She shook her head and laughed at a couple arguing in the distance. "Well, mostly cuteness. That group looks like a breakup waiting to happen." She smirked at him, a glimmer in her eyes. "We wouldn't know anything about arguing though would we."

"To an extent, I sorta like the cuteness. Not one for being all mushy in public though. That's kinda...beyond me," he replied with a slight chuckle. Then, his eyes caught the couple she was talking about, and he smirked back.

"Eh, I think we could teach them a thing or two in that respect. The trick though, is will they stay together? Us...well, us, I'm starting to think the arguing just brings us closer together in the end." He winked, then stood to his feet, collecting his trash and putting what was left of the food in the pizza box.

"So, what next?" he asked with a smile.

Tses rolled her eyes at Ty, but she smiled in a crooked way that meant she didn't totally disagree with him. In a way, their playful banter was a relationship building experience. They fought, but they managed to sort it out in the end. If they never fought, she'd probably feel suffocated by how boring it was. Chaos was in her blood, and she needed it to thrive.

"I don't know, you've kinda been planning things. I chose to eat. Now it's your turn. Unless you're bored of the hearts and roses holiday already." She smirked and winked at him playfully. Then she laughed as the girl in the distance it her boyfriend with her stuffed animal and stalked off angrily.

Ty shrugged, winking back. "I honestly don't know. I had everything planned out, up to this point. Now we're just flying blind." Ty looked off in the distance, and he couldn't help but feel somewhat sorry for the poor couple. Sure, they were celebrating Valentine's with blood and gore, but at least he and Tses were happy overall.

"I can't help but wonder what he did to piss her off that badly," he murmured. "That's a cute bear though. Think he'll sell it to me?" Ty joked lightly, not really meaning it, but hey, he couldn't resist.

Tses rolled her eyes at him, and shook her head at the rather sad face he had for the couple. "Who knows. Girl's get angry. Maybe she caught him cheating on her, or thought he was cheating on her... or maybe she just reaaaally didn't like cute teddy bears." She shrugged and laughed. "And no, we don't need it. I'm partial to the stuffed animal I already have." She said, giving him a smile.

As they moved, she tried to think of something they could do. She was less creative when it came to stuff like this, so it took a bit more thinking. "We can just explore for a while maybe.... or browse the stores here at the mall, or throw explosives at unsuspecting couples... I know, I'm such a holiday cynic." She laughed with a twinkle in her eyes.

The redhead laughed lightly, shrugging a little. "I don't know, it could be anything," he answered, then stuck his tongue out. "I know, I was joking. I'm not that mean."

When they began moving, he slipped his hand into hers, looking around. "Is it bad I'm somewhat intrigued by the last one? Oooh! Maybe after," he lowered his voice a little, "we could go for another joyride? Or maybe we could go raid that loot we talked about." He grinned goofily.

Tses grinned slightly, and chuckled at his suggestions. They were an odd couple, casually discussing celebrating Valentine's Day with criminal activity. Maybe they'd celebrate the Forth of July with some of the most impressive fireworks New York had ever seen.... She would enjoy that. "Anything with explosives is a great way to spent a holiday." She dropped her voice again, and gave him a little warning glance. "After the last fiasco we may want to keep any possible felon activities on the down low... Minor looting however, I'm all for." She smirked. She playfully elbowed him in the side and chuckled.

"Oh, I maaaay have figured out what that couple was so upset about though." Tses said, giving Ty a look that was somewhat sheepish and almost a little guilty. "I uh, may have snuck some money out of a wallet while we were heading towards the movie... habit..." She murmured, and distantly she could almost hear someone grumbling about 'can't believe you lost our money'. If someone ever did that to her on Valentine's Day, there would be a cat fight. Fortunately, or unfortunately, however you looked at it, Tses was the predator and the world was the victim when she needed entertainment. The sheepish expression vanished though with a little smirk. "Gonna put you out of the job though Mr. Pickpocket" She winked, and gave his hand a little squeeze.

Ty chuckled, shaking his head at her. "Okay, true. Explosives are always fun, as long as I'm not on the receiving end of them~" He paused, remembering said 'fiasco.' Yeah, that was a little too close for comfort. "Yeeeah....very true. Looting, we'll have to add to our list. But since we have no car we'll have to keep it light. Old hoard for some thieves." He left it at that, then she explained why the couple was arguing earlier.

"You're only starting out with pickpocketing. I'm just laying off for today," he said, a competitive gleam in his eye. "Though I'd call a string of missing wallets attention-worthy, so it's best to lay off. Though, I should add that I may not pride myself on it, but I've a little bit of burglary and B&E myself." He winked, smirking a little.

Tses was proud of her ability to steal. It was one of the few things going for her. So she may have had a small competitive edge when it came to those sorts of things, and it was hard to just let his comments slide. She glanced at him and stuck out her tongue, then shrugged. "Everything I own has pretty much been acquired through less than favorable means. I'm past the point of guilt I think, I just behave because it's in my better interest. I have a survival of the fittest mindset most of the time. You steal or get stolen from. Nothing personal. Just how it is." She glanced back at the couple, and her mouth pulled slightly into a frown. "Although, I don't think I like seeing the consequences of my actions as much. . . It's like when I was working on the Holmes project... When I had to look back and see what I did I didn't enjoy it as much. Stealing is better when you don't look back."

She looked around the mall quietly for a moment, and realized life was like that in many ways. You looked forward because there was too much baggage in past. And that hurt. She wasn't good at dealing with emotions, and so she disregarded them most of the time. She got away with stuff more often than not, so she felt strong and untouchable. but sometimes, things got to her.

Her hand gave a little tremmor and she tightened her grip on his to make it stop.

"Pretty much mine too. If I didn't steal it, I got it with stolen money," he replied with a slight shrug. "Except that leather jacket you like so much. That was a gift from my aunt many years ago. Though that's why I started too. Gotta survive. Though now that I live at Sanctuary, I pretty much have what I need. Now I just steal because...well it's in my blood by now. Do what you gotta do, dance with who brought ya." His face lowered a bit when she mentioned consequences.

"Yeah....mine have yet to catch up with me, but if you notice I kinda...cut back on stealing a bit since then,..But yeah...that's why I try not to look back, too." He squeezed her hand a little tighter, and led her out of the mall. When they made it somewhere with no crowds, he quickly kissed her cheek.

Tses shoved shrugged as he spoke, and ran her free hand through her hair, tucking it back behind her ear. "I still can't believe you live at the Sanctuary. Last person I met form there was the one who nearly got me arrested. Well, I guess I met this girl named Allison after that, and she wasn't too bad. She dragged me out for laser tag, and that was fun I think..." She shrugged and kicked a rock as she walked past it. "It would be off for me to find a place that just... has everything for me. I'm used to scavenging. I think it would feel odd." She murmured.

His show of affection caught her off guard, but she didn't lash out this time. Her cheeks turned a little pink, but she gave him a little smile. "I guess if the Sanctuary has you there though, it can't be all that bad. Unless you know they're secretly brainwashing you. In that case I'd have to go kick some ass and rescue you." She winked at him, and smirked, trying to push away the sad feelings. "Until I teach you to fight I gotta watch your back at least." She glanced around, trying to figure out what direction they were going next.

Ty shrugged, smiling lightly. "Yeah, though really I don't hang around there too awful much. I spend more time at your place, to be honest. I haven't met Allison yet, I don't think. Or the guy that nearly got you arrested...but I met a dinosaur-shifter, a girl named Aura, for obvious reasons, Roach...The list goes on." He chuckled a little, glad she accepted his little kiss.

"I haven't got much of a brain to wash. Half of it is memories from crap I touch and the other half is you." He stuck his tongue out at her, then winked.

Soon, they reached a condemned apartment building, and he made his way inside and to the first room on the first floor. He knocked on the door, but when he got no answer, he let himself in.

"Butterfly sort of crashes here right now, til she gets moved in at the mansion," Ty explained, then motioned to a pile of electronics and assorted goods in a corner of the room. "That's her share. But there's plenty more where that came from." Then, he opened the bathroom, revealing quite the stash. First thing Ty did, was to grab a couple of backpacks with price tags still on them, and tossed Tses one. "Since we don't have a car, I guess we just fill these backpacks?"

"You know Amber? I didn't know she lived at the Sanctuary..." Tses said, the phrase dinosaur-shifter catching her attention. She had run into the unique eye mutant while Ty had been missing, and the encounter had been a bit shaky, and that was putting it nicely. She nearly got herself gutted by picking on an angry tiger-mutant, and she looked thoughtful at the thought of it. "She's ok, for the most part. Has this weird 'pack' mentality though about mutants. Met her and this obnoxious tiger mutant at the same time. Thought I was going to be dinner for a while."

She followed him into the building, and looked around as she did. It seemed pretty sparse, but Butterfly had already told her that when she had visited Tses. No running water or electricity could make it hard to live somewhere, but she'd done it before. As they moved to the bathroom, she shook her head at him. "You know, I think the part of stealing electronics is to use them. And considering there is no power in this place, I expect that'd be hard. Why do you still have all of this here?" She remarked, taking the backpack with a shake of her head.

"Tiger mutant...Regan? Yeah I met her awhile back, too. One of Butterfly's friends. I think she lives at the mansion though," Ty replied, nodding thoughtfully.

Ty shrugged. "I didn't steal them. Some guys I used to run with did. Re-stumbled upon this place awhile back, and this crap was here. What they liked to do is steal stuff like this, then sell it for a profit. But they're in jail now, likely forever, and this? Well....this is a trove ripe for the picking." He grinned.
