"You are a thief."  Fingers said.
"No I am not!"  Dren said.
"Yes you are!"  Fingers snapped.  "And with the forming of the new Thieves Union, you have a choice, join or die.  The union doesn't look kindly on unliensed thieves going about the place doing as they will!  What what is your choice?"

Dren stares at Fingers. "Join or Die? A bit meladramatic wouldn't you say?" He ask. Fingers replies by punching Dren in the stomach. Dren falls to the ground. "Whoah, slow your role Fingers." Dren says. Fingers doesn't. He kicks the downed Dren. "Stop it!" Dren yells.
"No!" Fingers replies.
"YES!"
"No!"
Yes1"
"Join or die!"
"What if I skate or die?" Dren ask. Fingers stomps on Dren shin. Suddenly, Dren's watch begins to beep. The two stop. Dren looks at his watch. "Smeg, I've got to get to the engineering exams."Dren says.
"Huh?" Fingers ponders.
"Look, I don't like you, you don't like me. That's cool. This whole death thing. It ain't my bag. I stole one suit. I did my time. I'm more of a mischief maker than theif. I'll tell you what, I'll go take this exam. If I pass, I'm on the straight and narrow. If I fail, well talk. Deal?" Dren begs.
"Hmm."Fingers mutters as he cracks his knuckles.
"You let me go, and I'll think about destroying the tape of your boy Harris prancing around in women's underwear." Dren smiles.
"Ok. This isn't over. I'll see you after the test." Fingers replies and sulks into the shadows.
"What a smeg head." Dren mutters.
----------------Exam room.
Dren arrives at the exam just in the nick of time. The officer administering the test was just about to lock the door. Dren takes his seat and prepares to take the exam.
