Exactly! As long as you hide the evidence, there was basically no crime!

[dendroculi]

[inwardly, nahida thinks that cyno would have something to say about that]

Is that so...?

[camena]

Sure. If no one knows something happened, did it even happen at all?

[dendroculi]

...

[something about that question makes her heart hurt, but she can't put her finger on why.]

[camena]

[ hm! ]

Oh, but riding a bike takes some practice, so I'd have to teach you. So that's something to look forward to.

[ THERE IS NO BIKE she is getting very ahead of herself. ]

[dendroculi]

...it will be fun to learn! Is it very difficult?

[camena]

I think if you can hang-glide, it'll be nothing. It just takes getting used to.

[dendroculi]

What is a bike like? Can you describe it to me?

[camena]

Oh, yeah. It's got, like, two wheels. Handlebars. And you pedal to make the wheels spin?

[ she is gesturing during this to give an idea of where the wheels are!! ]

[dendroculi]

I see...

[she's trying to picture it so she can recognize a bike if she sees one but who knows if she's actually imagining what it looks like]

[camena]

[ alex, who also wants to steal one: ]

They get stolen all the time back home. You have to lock them up, and even then you might still just come back to find the wheels have been taken off.

[dendroculi]

Really...? People want bikes that much?

[huh... maybe she really should try to learn how to ride one...]

[camena]

I don't know if it's really about liking them... Think they mostly just want to sell them.

[dendroculi]

Is it common for people to sell stolen goods in your world...?

[camena]

[ hand weighing motion. ]

Depends on the area.

[dendroculi]

[it's like parts of teyvat that have higher concentrations of treasure hoarders...]

I see...

[camena]

It's generally frowned on.

[dendroculi]

Well, yes. Stealing is wrong...

[camena]

If it's small stuff from big stores it doesn't count, though.

[dendroculi]

[ ? ]

Why not?

[camena]

They make so much money that it doesn't matter. No one gets hurt.

[dendroculi]

Really...?

[just how big are these stores???]

[camena]

IKEA's big enough to steal from like that.

Buuut most of the stuff they sell is so big that you'd have a hard time sneaking it out.

[dendroculi]

Yes, I think anyone would really struggle to take anything from there without someone noticing...

[camena]

Sounds like a challenge...

[ she does not want to take that challenge though. she is just Saying Things ]
