Okay, I'm cool with that. So maybe Torcasio has been working with Meva for a while, and Kitty and Torcasio have a mutual respect for one another developed over a history of playing cat and mouse. Maybe she's even convinced Kitty to try going straight for a while and actually earn some money through adventuring, if not actual, standard employment. Sort of like a sidekick/intern in the bodyguard/lawman biz. I mean, a former thief could potentially make a good thief-taker if she applied herself; takes one to know one, you know? And Kitty will try anything once, though I think she mostly finds Torcasio amusing, and maybe Meva, too.
