[ It's a squawk at first, almost scalded by the implication. By the fact that - actually yeah, kind of? He tried to be and he was terrible at it, but that was back then, he'd be so much better at it now. He'd probably make an awesome thief, in fact.
(He may or may not need to start stealing, actually.)
But he doesn't consider himself a thief first and foremost. That's villain of the week shit. ]
I was a scientist. Still am. A scientist. [ He doesn't sound so sure, actually. Do you even get the title if you can't fit in one of those starchy, scratchy, beautiful Alchemax lab coats anymore? If they took your job not because you were bad at it, but because you were just too weird and embarrassing to have around? ] I mean, yeah, I... you lose your job, you do what you gotta do. Might've, uh. Tried out the whole life of crime thing. Dabbled, I guess.
[ Another little chuckle. It sounds dry. ]
Guess I'd make a pretty good thief though, huh? Might need to consider some new lines of work now that I'm here. Not seeing a whole lot of work for a quantum mechanics degree.
[ Not that he has to work on anything besides gettin dem orbs, but he likes to work. Likes to have something to do to quiet the noise in his head.
(The simulation room had been a bit of a letdown in that regard. They'd given him missions, not a Spider-Man he could throttle with his bare hands.) ]
