I think we're establishing that Chloë and Aud are friends, heh. It feels like it makes sense then for Ari and Chloë to be friends as well! I'm totally down for that. :)
Of course! She is a thief after all, and she loves a bit of danger with her work.
Maybe something can come up in game? :) I feel like Chloë being named after a character in the sorts of books that Peony secret writes needs to come up somehow!
