"I want to learn how to mug people."
The enforcer looked up from his byorek—which Maya noticed smelled really good—and gave her a look. "You want what?"
"Mugging. I want to learn that."
He held her gaze for another moment, then chuckled a little, going back to his meal. "Who put you up to this?"
"No one. It's not a joke. I want to learn."
"What makes you think I know a kid's game like that?"
"I don't, but I bet good money you can find someone who does."
That got a grin. "No deal. But Maya Jan, why do you want to know? Are you in trouble? Just say the word, and Uncle Hayk will settle it." He grinned a toothy grin and cracked his knuckles for emphasis. "The boys at school giving you trouble? Or maybe not giving you enough trouble?" He laughed at his own joke.
Maya gave him a look. "They're a bunch of soft rich white boys. No. I just—" This was the hard part. "I just think I should know more about how the world really works."
His smile never wavered, but something shifted all the same that reminded Maya there was a reason this man as high as he was in the hierarchy. "Maybe you should. Maybe you should. I have to ask your papa, Maya Jan, you know this. He won't like his princess in with the riff raff, but maybe there is something Uncle Hayk can do." He gestured to the seat across from him, and business was over. "But now, you tell me about the fighting. I saw your last one, you fight well for such a twig! Not quite ready, but soon I'll make money betting for you instead of against you. Garin! Bring pastries for the girl!"
