In The Manor, it doesn't take much for a candle to lose everything. It's all part of the cycle. What little they have can be relinquished by a single mistake; their minds, their bonds...
For Thief Candle, to defy it was to betray his upbringing and the guild of thieves he once found meaning in.
That meaning was lost, to the others who continued to take more than they needed, believing they could ever be owed anything for their existence in the halls.
He felt the guild's grace fall to resemble a depraved bandit crew, acting out with no more indifference than the entities that roam to seek their end.
The words had cut through Thief's attention, he hurriedly turned from the desk to face the Candle standing in the narrow entrance of the secret den between the walls.
The candle stood, assessing Thief's intentions, before entering the study proper, luggage in hand.
He didn't seem perturbed by his presence. Passing Thief, he ambled towards the chair in the corner, resting the case on the seat to unlatch it.
Thief turned to watch his actions, noticing the candle was retrieving something from within. Were they... notes? Then, a book.
With his free hand, he closed the case, and hoisted it over the armrest to lay on the floor beside the chair.
His demeanor had disarmed Thief's initial startle, though he now felt he was intruding. He wanted to ask who this candle was, but he felt as though he was in no position to ask questions.

The two share a mutual respect with one another. They don't talk much, but they find a solace in shared silence together.
He gives her any matches he comes across on his expeditions.
They're on friendly terms, but it's usually Dustcatcher who has to initiate the conversation.
He feels he has a hard time relating to her in topics, but he does his best.
He's a little taken aback by how outward Chimney Urchin is, but in a sense, he admires it.
Most of the talking is done by Chimney whenever they are seen together.
They're on friendly terms, at least.
Thief can be seen helping Sawbone retrieve medical equipment when she runs low.
He feels accomplished, being able to help someone in this way.
He sometimes checks up on Sawbone, and any patient she's assisting.
Thief Candle's makeshift mentor. He has learned much from travelling with him, and has adopted many of his morals.
It was Grand Librarian that taught him the idea of necessary evils, and the importance of upholding strong values in what you do in spite of wrongdoings.
From him he learned that above all else, he was not to bring harm unto others.
Thief feels sorry for Madwaltz and their affliction, but he tries to remain as friendly and accepting as they are.
He politely refuses their invitations to dance.
Eerieshard has an unnerving, squinted smile in Thief's presence.
There's a tense, foreboding air that can be felt by anyone whenever the two are near. Thief is uncomfortable around her.
Does she know something about him that he doesn't know?
