“Yes, detective?” He was curious. Hakuba gave him such a guilty look earlier and now he’d pulled away. There were several possibilities in his mind, including Hakuba thinking that this was a ploy of some kind, having issues with sexual orientation, or that he was worried about how this would affect their constant cat and mouse game now.
A subtle shift and KID was now a bit worried that Hakuba would put some cuffs on him. It wasn’t enough to make him move, though. He was enjoying this and Hakuba relaxing, even for a bit, was an interesting sight to behold. “If you wish to go to a more private location, I completely understand.”
How could Kaitou remain so calm? Hakuba swallowed at his anxiety and tilted his head at the thief, eyeing him with some skepticism. Yet, Kaitou appeared so genuine. For being a phantom thief and a stubborn liar, he was anything if not truly authentic. The detective realized that made very little sense, but somehow did. At least where it was important.
“…Perhaps relocating would, indeed, be for the best. I think I’d like that very much."
It was the safe answer to give for the time being. Of course, being alone in a private place also made for opportunities that could increase the stakes ten fold. Then again, if Kaitou were on the prowl, as it were, and interested in casual affairs, then why shouldn’t he indulge? Hadn’t that been his rule?
Regardless, moving seemed the fastest and easiest reprieve, even if it was only momentarily.
"Do you drink at all, Kaitou-san?"
