1. Pick one of your characters.
2. Pick one of my characters (or have me surprise you).
3. There's mistletoe! It can be magical or traditional, but ideally the thread will end in Christmas smooches.
4. Profit.

Neal nods in agreement.]
Especially when you're paying tribute to Demeter. She can be vengeful, that's for sure.

[It makes you sound like a professional.
"Also it makes you sound worldly, which is good for a mark who thinks he's smarter than he is." Mozzie is aware that she's aware that there are thieves around, but to cover his bases. "If you're in to that sort of thing that is."]
no subject
[ That comment from 'Mr. Havisham' piques Anna's interest and she arches a slender brow as she tilts her head and looks over at him. She's definitely studying him. ] Are you into that sort of thing, Mr. Havisham?
no subject
A trial is definitely a con. At least in my experience.
no subject
She offers her empty glass to Neal for a refill - maybe she'll indulge a little. It's Christmas after all. ]
Neither of you are wrong. I suppose reading people and being quick on my feet makes me good at my job, as it would a con artist.
no subject
That it would. Predicting your marks moods helps sell the con. And you need to pivot, if a variable comes in you aren't prepared for.
no subject
How often do those unexpected surprises come into play for you? Because you're definitely an unexpected variable, Caffrey.
no subject
[And the caliber of your skill is tied to the caliber of the people you con.]
And there are some variables you just can't recover from.
[Adler being one of them.]
no subject
Her brows knit in a mixture of curiosity and concern at the last sentence, head tilting slightly as she studies him. It's the same tilt she does when she studies a crime scene; a weird little quirk.]
Was it a woman? The variable.
no subject
[It never gets easier to talk about her as though she's no longer there. But she is gone, to a place where he can't get her back, and as complicated as loving her was, he still misses her.]
no subject
It's a difficult topic - Kate and Adler - and she feels a little bad for bringing the conversation that way. So she does what she does best - she deflects and redirects the conversation. ] I don't see Agent Burke. Is he stuck working?
no subject
[Granted, Peter could have shown up without his wife, but Neal thinks he's doing him the courtesy of not putting the most obvious cop in the room with all his criminal friends.]
Holiday season is a busy one for event planners.
no subject
[ She sips at her wine, shrugging a little. ] Tends to be just as busy for us as well. I get it.
no subject
[She is Mozzie's BFF for a reason.]
Though if anyone ever told me they didn't enjoy Elizabeth Burke, I would assume that there was something wrong with them.
no subject
no subject
[Because this is mostly the crime side of the party. Alex, June, a few other thief friends - all good people but all definitely criminals.]
no subject
You make me sound like an antisocial Grinch. [ Okay, he wouldn't be entirely wrong... ]
no subject
[He smirks a bit.]
I just think aside from me and the people you're arresting, you don't exactly socialize much with the criminal element.
no subject
[ Does that make Neal an exception to the rule? Absolutely. But like hell is she admitting that. ]
no subject
[They do have the law in common, after all. It's just that his friends tend to like breaking it rather than upholding it.]
And I hope the first part isn't true.
[He does not want to become a cop anytime soon.]
no subject
[ Shaking her head a little in amusement, she leans back against the bar and scans the room. Her free hand lifts to idly tuck a loose strand of hair back behind her ear. ]
no subject
[It's hard to forget that once upon a time he was so close to being on Anna's side of the table. He's so grateful that he was diverted because despite the ups and downs he's happier where he is now, but he doesn't forget.]
I was one tough conversation away from joining the academy when I was eighteen.
no subject
Wait... You?
[ Narrowing her eyes, she tilts her glass at him suspiciously. ]
Now you're just tryin' to pull one over on me.
no subject
[Emphasis being on when he was a child.
As much as looking back on his childhood, he knows that the other side of the law was always where he was going to land, part of him still wanted to do good, do right, help people.
And then Ellen shattered all of his illusions about Sam, and fate righted it's course again.]
