Faelis lay awake for several more minutes, listening to Rose adjust to sleeping on the ground.
For the second time today, a tendril of guilt wormed itself into his head. Should he really be doing this? Manipulating a naive teenage girl, who clearly has a high set of morals, to steal for him? Besides the fact that she was aspiring to be a do-gooder, and knew very little about the world.
But Faelis pushed away the guilt. Tricking her into doing this would bring no harm to the girl, there was no way he would ever let her get hurt, and besides, he was never caught, and wouldn't let her get caught either, so there wouldn't be a stain on her reputation. The only thing it would do would make her feel bad, and Faelis was sure it would pass after a few months. She may even come after him to try and steal the item back, not that she would ever be able to find him, not with his knowledge of the world.
But still. . . the thought nagged at Faelis until he fell asleep.
