Peter scowled slightly and crossed his arms. "Never said it was. But, seems to me that is just a lot of excuses. Not willing to change yourself for honest pay. Not willing to do the work for it either," he continued, growing unexpectedly heated as he continued to speak. "Can at least try to gain some personal skills. May be hard work on a farm, but is honest work. A labourer works for their money. Works hard. But earns it. Earns it, instead of just takes it!" he insisted sharply. He never would have taken such a tone before. But stress had been piling up. Over the last few days, he had been thrust unexpectedly upon the world. It's darker scenes bared to him with its wounded, its prisons, its cruelty, and its losses.

"Master, it's me," Max said to the mage, running his fingers along the side of his face as though pulling out the smile. "Maximilian."
Razzamataz looked at him blankly for a long moment. As he did so, Max's forced smile slowly began to fade back into obscurity. He took his new hat off his head, holding it before him in trepidation, rather than respect. He squeezed the brim before him nervously.
The wizard at length snapped his fingers as though recollecting. "Ah! Hrmph. Yes! You. I remember! Yes! You're that young fellow who follows me about all the time!" The wizard never even noticed the smile he brought on Max's face before dashing it again.
"And, who are these humans?" Razz asked, turning to the young man and woman.

"Ha! Alliteration! How wodnerful!' Razzamataz cheered. "Like Jumping junebugs," he said, hands beginning to glow with magic.
"Actually!" Max quickly intervened before the wizard could do anything. "They wanted to ask you something."
"Oh?" Razz asked, easily diverted as he looked to them. "What might that be?"

Elsa's entire demeanor changed abruptly, it looked like the pickpocket was both on the verge of tears and yet at the same time about to swing a fist at Peter's scowling visage, "what Fel would
you
know about
excuses?"
she spat bitterly, "you've lived in a monastery your whole blessed life, you never had to worry about war or money or finding a job, you think everyone lives in a perfect world where no one has to resort to stealing or murder just to stay alive and think everyone helps each other no matter what."
"Do you think I haven't tried honest work?" the young woman demanded, not letting up, she blinked away the tears as she glared at the priest, "I spent my whole bloody childhood working on a farm only for my parents to freeze to death, downtrodden and starved like the rest of my village, while some greedy barons sat on their mountains of wealth and turned a blind eye."
"I was one of the few who made it to Lordaeron, we thought life would be better there, but
what do I have to show for that?"
she continued, a hint of sarcasm in her tone now, "those that weren't killed because by the plague died because of commanders who cared more about glory and riches than their own men, no one gave a damn about a lost child whose skillset could just as easily be replaced by a strong adult who'd be able to do the same work for twice as long - if I died I would've been as easily replaced and forgotten as the rest of my family - Stormwind was no different."
Elsa's expression hardened and her voice turned cold, but no less hurt - though that was purely because of how how unjust she felt Peter was being, as her torrent of bitterness came to a close, "I'll be damned if I ever make the mistake of working for people who don't give a Fel about me again."

Lyshalis shouted out loud in pain as the spider grabed her, the elf in retaliation the elf stabed with her dagger, found in her right hand at one of the many eyes on the massive arachnid's face in the most vicious manner the elf was able.

"Well I care!" Peter cried. He began to hiccup ashecontinued speaking, overcome by emotion he began simply blurting things out. "I care! Don't want to see you in prison! Arrested! Guards dragging you off to the Stockades! Left to rot, all alone in a dark cell! Surrounded by rapists and...and murderers! Or monsters! Don't want to see that..." he trailed off. Tears slid down his cheeks, prompting him to duck his head, ashamed to be seen crying.
"Don't want to lose another friend..."

The spider shrieked as the dagger punctured an eye and shook Lyshalis about roughly, before flinging her against the rocky wall of the cavern.

Elsa's expression softened at the word
friend
, as much as she tried to stop it from doing so, and she blinked. "I can't change who I am," the pickpocket told Peter in an undertone, doing her best not to let him see her own tears, "I'm sorry."

Peter was silent. His head remained bowed. The only thing that moved was the tears which continued to drip off his face.
"I...I'd rather you not steal," Peter said eventually. "But, don't want to lose you more, Elsa. To prison, or you leaving. So...please," he looked up at her, eyes red. "Please. Just...don't steal unless you have to. At least, while I'm around. All that I...All I can ask," he said softly.

"Hmm...Oh! I have this," Razzamataz replied, holding up his amulet. "It gives me a boost so I can do this!" he pointed at Jessica, magic sparking about his finger. Blue and green arcane power poured through the air, swirling about the girl and turning her into a blue drake.

"Hmm," Razzamataz murmured, leaning back. A throne of thorns suddenly sprouted behind him, the entire thing warping into black metal spikes the moment he took a seat. "Well, we aren't in a parlor. But, if you insist," he snapped his finger.
Max looked about with dismay, finding him and the others inside a large parlor. It was a very quaint thing, with a few chairs and a tea set already laid out on a small table between the chairs. Nearby a fire burned merrily, and several pictures lined the walls of quaint farming scenes. The wall paper as well was a lovely shade of blue, and several bookcases lined the walls filled to the brink with classics.
Sadly, Max did not quite appreciate it as they were all about an inch tall and amongst the tea set.

Elsa tilted her head, watching Peter in this state was heart-wrenching, but asking the pickpocket to stop stealing was akin to asking her to stop breathing - not that the young woman would ever admit she had a problem. Her hands clasped together and subconsciously twisted about, adopting various painful-looking positions, as she contemplated the implications of what he was asking.
After what seemed like hours Elsa slowly started to shake her head, looking more than a little sad, she could not bring herself to lie to the priest, even if it would make him feel better, "I cannot make a promise I know I won't be able to keep."

"That's nice. So, what did you want?" Razz asked blithely, reclining on his throne.

Peter sighed. "Then, at least don't let me see it."

"I'll do my best..." Elsa responded faintly, she could not help but feel there was something she was meant to say or do. She had already said she was sorry, so that left...
Hugging Peter?
The concept seemed foreign to her, especially since she had only a few vague recollections of being hugged by her parents, but she seemed to recall that it helped to...
Reassure someone?
She sure hoped so, the last thing she wanted to do was make the young priest panic or get even more stressed.
With that thought in mind, she pulled Peter into a hug that was both a lot tighter and a lot closer than she had originally intended.

"Okay," Razzamataz replied, looking horribly bored. He squeezed a small rubber ball between two fingers, head nestled in a palm as he stared at it. "So, you want me to turn you into the book then?"

Peter stiffened in surprise at the sudden embrace. He quivered for a moment with emotion before wrapping his arms around Elsa tightly, sniffling into her shoulder.
