Mercury was teasing Emerald again as they strolled through the city.

"So," Mercury asked, "do you still have any moral scruples left at all?"

"Try me," Emerald said.

Mercury pointed to an elderly pensioner. "Would you steal his savings, and leave him homeless and hungry?"

"*pfft* In a second," Emerald said with an evil giggle. "You'll have to do better than that."

Mercury pointed to a child sitting in a carriage and holding a large golden lollipop. "Would you steal that candy from that baby?"

"Of COURSE not!" Emerald said angrily. "...you KNOW I can't STAND butterscotch-flavored candy."
