Theo chuckled as he heard Celeste lay down the challenge. The thought of infiltrating a well-protected jewelry store with a new security system was like Christmas morning for him. It was the kind of challenge that made all the risks and close calls worthwhile. However, his grin lessoned a bit when she mentioned the 60/40 split. Sure, she was the one with the plan, but 60/40? Nawwwww.
"A new security system and a watchful guard? Now you're speaking my language. But 60/40?" He raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms over his chest, assuming a posture of mock negotiation. "I think my invaluable expertise and devilishly good looks warrant a little more, don't you think? How about 59/41? It's only fair since I'm pretty much the James Bond of theft."
Theo leaned closer to Celeste, nearly whispering as if revealing a deep secret. "You know, we do make quite the pair, you and I. The Princess and the Jester, the two instigators of chaos and sophistication." He chuckled softly, fully embracing the idea of another adventure with Celeste. Theo knew that the duo was unstoppable when they put their minds together, and that sense of invincibility, along with the joy of teasing his sister, made him feel more alive than ever. "So, 59/41, do we have a deal, Your Highness?"
