"Tennis, soccer. Basketball sometimes." Natalia said. "What about you?"

"I'm more of a books kid. I like researching politics," Red said.

"Why" Natalia scoffed. "Not like any of them are telling you the truth anyway."

"Because I can research what the truth is," Red said. "And I can work to change it."

"That'd be great if it actually worked like that." Natalia said. "But how the fuck is a nobody like you or me supposed to do or even learn shit? They keep anything you or I could use under wraps until it's been too long ago to care. I've done enough research to know I wouldn't trust them with nothing and they wouldn't let us have shit." She was getting into one of her rants again.

"There are ways to go around what they say," Red said, elusively. "You learn it by watching patterns, mainly. Or taking issues that are so large and generally agreed-upon that things are relevant for as long as we've been alive."

"At that point you'd be fighting a hell of a lot more than the establishment, unfortunately. How would you even do that?"

"Real carefully," Red said. "I take it you don't like the government much?"

"I tend to have a problem with authority in general." Natalia said. "No matter the institution, they all got power by screwing over the little people like us."

"No kidding," Red said. "Maybe I could show you the ropes sometime."

"That could be cool." Natalia admitted. "So what exactly are you fighting for?"

"That depends. Can I trust you?" Red asked.

Red hesitated a moment, as though weighing up whether she was earnest. Anyone else wouldn't have gotten this far, and he knew well enough by now that she wouldn't turn him in. He'd made sure of that using pawns. "I'm fighting for rights for those with an affinity for black magic."

She looked shocked for a moment, but after a moment of thought she saw nothing actually wrong with that. "That's awesome!" She grinned.
