"You are that thief!!" I said pointing at him, there is no doubt about this, I am completely sure that this is the same person who stole from Director.
But... "What are you doing here?" I asked as he opened his eyes and looked at me with a light smile on his face.
"Of course I am here for you." He said as I stepped back... Jay told us about some of the perverts who prefer boys but I never expected to encounter one so soon.
"HEY! What's with that look?! I just wanted to talk!!!" He said, losing his mysterious aura for a bit when he saw me make a disgusted face.
"Wha-what does a thief want from me? I don't have anything worth stealing anyways?!"
"I ain't here to steal this time," he said, leaning against the pillar, is he doing it on purpose.
"Well, I was just curious about how a kid was able notice me." He said with a sign, "It kinda hurted my pride as a thief to be honest."
"Do thief have pride?" I asked, since when do criminals have things like pride?
Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face as, "Only if you are best in the world." He said.
"So you are saying you are the best?"
"That's right," that man said, stepping ahead, as he adjusted his magician like red hat, before looked at me with his one-eyed glasses and... "My name is Robin, they also call me Clown, The Best thief nbthe world."
He said with a wide grin, "There's nothing I can't steal in this world, you name it and I can steal it!"
"Yea yea, the so called world Best thief was stealing gold from random person, I completely believe it."
"Hey! I ain't lying kid!!"
After a few minutes of back and forth, he finally went to the main point and, "You have a talent for being a thief kid, what do you say, want me to teach you a thing or two?" He said as I just stare at him a bit conflicted.
Should I do it or should I not and in the end... "Will it help me?" I asked in the end as he smiled, "It can change your life, I guarantee that."
After a bit more thinking, I nod at him.
If it can help me, if it can make life easier for Alex... Then maybe it's not so bad... In the end, Liam was just a 5 year old kid and...
"Well, how much I teach you depends on your blessings tho, I bet you must have recieved some good ones, no doubt." Robin said, he was so sure about it that he can bet his life on this... No normal kid without a blessing could have seen it, even by a fluke.
"Anyways, here." He said, handing me a golden card, "It will help you find me when the time is right, I will teach you how to be best in the world in my art. Do look forward to it." He said turning around, "Walk straight and take a left, oh and here, take this."
He said throwing me a wallet, "Keep this, that guy was loaded, throw away the wallet tho, least someone suspect you for it. Until next time kid, don't learn anything till then kid, or you gonna unlearn and start from scratch." He said, throwing me a wallet.
It was Director's wallet.

Following the path Robin told me, I was able to reach the garden where the prayers were held, it was still crowded but not as much as it was earlier.
I spotted a few familiar faces, but Mira and Jay were nowhere to found, they probably are still waiting for thier turn.
On my way here, I also get to look through the wallet and it really was loaded with thousands of Raels, enough for me and Alex to live comfortably for months.
Why was he even carrying so much money in his pocket? Who knows but well, good for me.
"I am hungry." I said to myself as I looked the main door of the church... It won't hurt if I go out and take a look right? No one will know, I guess? I should also get something for Alex.

My visit outside wasn't long, I just had some snacks, get some gifts for not just Alex but also Jay and Mira since I got some money.
As I returned from my short trip in the developed area of the capital, and very soon, I was back to the cathedral and in the far corner, I spotted Jay.
"Hey Jay, how was it?" I asked as he looked at me with a smile, "Fire and Sword..." He said, showing those rare happy face for once in the while, "I can be a magic swordsman!!" He said excitedly, a bit unlike himself but it seems he is that happy.
"What about you?" He said, as I shook my head. "Don't know yet." I said, shrugging a bit as he raised his eyebrows and pointed at his right.
"There's a priest there, let's go check it out." He said as I nods, and with Jay showing the way, we were soon able to find the blue eyes blonde priest that Jay was talking about.
There were a few of other kids too, there before us but it don't take it long for her to check me out and... "It seems we can expect a great Mage in the future." She said, a bit suprised as...
"You are blessed by all four elemental gods." She said, removing her hand from my head before bending a little and... "Don't reveal your blessings carelessly, it can bring more harm amthan good." She whispered in my ear, making me blush slightly but I still nods.
"Good boy," She said patting my head, "Here, have som candy, take some for your friend too." Saying so, she passed us some candies before walking away and...
"YOU!! WHAT WERE YOU DOING WITH THAT LADY OVER THERE?!" Someone said suddenly, making me turn around to look, it was Mira.
"Hey Mira?" I said, a bit confused, 'Why does she seems so angry?' I thought to myself... Seriously, you can never understand a women... they really are weird.
