[Silence answered the direct method for a time as Garrett considered. But, in the end, he really had nothing to hide from the monster. He was not here to make anyone's life miserable, human or monster, and he had no intention of doing any more than stealing a few valuables that could easily be replaced.
If the shade wanted to turn him in for that, well. He would have to catch him first.]
I'm a thief.
[If the monster wanted a blunt answer, Garrett could not possibly give a more blunt one than that. To be more precise Garrett was a sneak thief. That meant he went unnoticed by anyone as he stole and no one was ever hurt in the process. At most, he knocked a few guards unconscious. But he never killed anyone if he could get away clean--and his way of doing things made sure that he always did.
He could have said as much if he truly wanted. But Garrett did not speak much more than he had to at any given time, and explaining himself did not always get the desired effect anyway. He would wait and see what happened with that.]
