steal ex machina, that's a bit different, nice that he has a friend, and a bit more understandable he wouldnt want to drag her into his crap when he wasnt all that strong even if he was a top 1-2 thief, still not telling her anything was dumb and offering some kind of option to be able to meet up with her later may have been good, she's with the classic crap party members so she'd be the next target when they get annoyed. at least should check on her now that he's stronger and can disguise himself she saved his butt.
