YOUR HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN OUR THREAD
If you are not feeling up to RP, please don’t feel bad about putting it on hold. I’d rather you get better and enjoy roleplaying, than feel like you HAVE to give me a response.
I love you all. Please take care of yourselves.
I completely understand as I had been sick for a while. It drains your energy

Teasing from Hakuba? Him not giving all his information up front? Certainly a surprise. This would have to be done more often.
KID let his fingers play along Hakuba’s back, noting the smooth skin and slight patches that had a difference, somewhat rougher and nearly undetectable normally. (One needed to have very sensitive fingers and ears to crack safes, after all.) He would have to check that later more closely.
Were there cases of other phantom thieves doing this sort of thing with their detectives? He would have to check that later, also. He doubted he’d dig up too much; secrecy was downright important. Still, he tried touching what he could, softly and gently, aiming for the subtlety of a dove’s wings. Back, arms thighs, waist, crotch, hips…
The detective appreciated each touch and let KID do as he pleased, Although he tensed briefly at the touch to the scars on his back, he relaxed almost immediately after. Such a careful touch… There was no joy greater than to feel wanted like this. More often indeed; Hakuba didn’t dare yet hope that this – whatever this was – could become a regular occurrence.
Certain attentions brought quiet sounds from his lips, something between a hum and a purr that left him breathless as he pulled back from KID’s throat. Withholding information seemed to have worked quite well for play… but then, Hakuba had always known that KID was a curious one. He looked to his face, kissing the thief again with no disguise for the warmth or passion he felt. Even though the red tint of Kaito’s eyes concerned him, nagged at him, he still thought they were as alluring as ever.
Kaito hadn’t reacted earlier in a way that indicated that he knew what the foreign phrase meant, so Hakuba made use of it again. “Tu as de très beaux yeux…” He removed the rest of his shirt and dropped it aside, both hands moving next to sit at KID’s hips, fingers teasing by hooking just underneath the hem. “Tu me rends fou. Qu’est-ce que je ferais sans toi?”

…Hakuba-san. When looking for information about the multiple personalities… try looking at the case of a certain Genocider Syo. Their murders… The evidence seems to point to other personalities in that case as well. And perhaps, after this case is done, if you’re interested, remind me to tell you more about my personal experiences and why I could think of these theories… I admittedly only told you a small part, but unlike that part, the rest has no similarities to this case.
*It didn’t matter, did it? He could probably find information about the whole mutual killing game at Hope’s Peak if he looked hard enough. From there would probably be more curiosity and he might ask her himself. Of course, maybe it was easier to just talk about it now but, she wasn’t sure whether to trust him yet.*
The male detective pulled out the little black notebook from the inner pocket of his suit jacket, followed by a pen, and took note.
“I’ll do just that. Thank you for the information and recommendations, Kirigiri-san. I’m certain that I will be following up with you on the matter.”
Hakuba snapped the notebook closed and put it, and the pen, back in their place in his suitjacket. Then, pushing a smile, he looked the girl over once again.
“Might I ask if you.. know of any sort of ‘solutions’ for this kind of psychosis? Any known cures or resolutions that you’ve seen?” A brief pause. “What happened to your classmate in the end?"
“No, that’s fine. I’m getting kind of hungry anyway and I really don’t think that Ran would mind. We might see her there actually, so be prepared to get questioned,” he chuckled, only half joking. There was actually a very good possibility that she would be wondering why they were ‘hanging out’.
It was better to just go ahead and get going. The faster they got to the cafe, the faster they could continue to talk about everything but Conan.
“I wouldn’t mind that; it’s always interesting to be interrogated by those not in our field.” Hakuba said this with a smile, curious as he watched Kudou, even as he began walking toward the cafe.
“How have things been for you lately? I have to admit that I was almost worried you’d been killed. There were so many rumors regarding your disappearance, and no one seemed to have concrete answers.”
He decided to leave specific details about his investigation unsaid at present, in favor of letting the other detective talk. After all, he’d often wondered what it would be like to just… sit and listen to such a brilliant detective, one-on-one.

Contact him…? I could try… But, what exactly would I be saying to him…?
*She seemed she was at a bit of a loss – she much preferred to put together the entire case before confronting her suspect, but it didn’t seem like there was much else to go on…*
“I’m really not certain. Perhaps I need to arrange a meeting with him… There are a few things that I would like to test and observe, personally.”
Hakuba returned to his chair and retrieved the report, going over the paperwork again.
“I may not have any further useful information at this time, I’m afraid.”
Send me a ❤ for my muses reaction of a marriage proposal from yours.
“Oh?” Letting Hakuba take charge was an interesting little change of pace. Usually he was leading, as the thief, and the detective followed, even earlier and in other circumstances. He nuzzled Hakuba, relaxing under the touches.
“Really, now?” If he were honest, he was curious about what Hakuba had come up with, but he didn’t want to ruin the moment, especially since Hakuba was stammering so much earlier. But a bit of his pride rejoiced at this. Having one of his detectives “wrapped around his finger" was a nice feeling.
He wanted them happy and safe, in spite of their chase. Easiest if they were attached to him in ways that he could protect them. And it was helpful that it was mutual feeling. (…Now he was starting to understand the logic behind that ‘jewelry box’ metaphor.)
It might have been the alcohol. It could have been the warmth and closeness and subsequent routine attached to that. Perhaps it was the higher-functioning of the detective’s brain shorting out from being fried with far too much traumatic information all at once in conjunction with having crossed a barrier with the one he was most fond of without, apparently, any negative effects. At the moment, he couldn’t comprehend any of it; not completely. So it was ignored and pushed aside for later.
Hakuba relaxed.
“Mmmmm-hmm,” he said, mouth to skin as he moved from KID’s neck to his shoulder, pressing his palm against the small of the thief’s back. The detective rolled his own shoulder, reaching up to pull at his collar, then at the sleeve, undressing himself.
“But I think I’ll make you wait… Wouldn’t want to give too much away all at once.”
Was Hakuba… teasing? The satisfied, almost predatory smirk remained on his lips, even as he closed his eyes and focused his attentions on KID’s neck, next.
now that you know the truth about Conan, what are your thoughts on that creepy Haibara girl he hangs out with?
“Haibara…? Oh! Haibara Ai of the Detective Boys, yes, I remember now. I’m mostly familiar with her work in tandem with the other children – little darlings, all of them – while chasing Kaitou KID.”
“As for my opinion, I think that she’s a brilliant detective in her own right. Definitely the most mature of the group (but then girls mature more quickly than boys at that age), and potentially the most intelligent. I wouldn’t be surprised to see her best Edogawa-kun when they’re older, but then I wonder if there might be sparks of romance between them in later years…?”
“…Ah, wait a moment… the truth about Edogawa-kun… Ah…”
"…”
“…”
“I retract my statements about potential romance on the grounds that I must do more research regarding the subject. Further, I wonder now if the ‘creepy’ comment was regarding, ah, certain circumstances instead of her mixed heritage…”
“…at least I hope it’s not regarding her mixed blood, or I will write a sternly written PSA on the subject. I do not tolerate that kind backward-thinking nonsense. ESPECIALLY not when it is directed at children!”
"Does she qualify…?”

*She spent a quick moment looking conflicted; unhappy about getting the choice. She decided to go with the simplest and most related explanation, as planned—*
I have a classmate who has a second personality. This second personality is also a… dangerous individual. They switch either upon a sneeze or a moment of unconsciousness – unfortunate since one faints when they see blood, which became a bit of a nuisance at times. Neither personality remembers events that occur during the other’s time active, and they seem to be at least somewhat separate minds since—
*—And she almost mentioned the mind wipe there, but quickly improvised the rest of the sentence after a short pause—*
—well, I think you understand…
That’s all.
“I can certainly see how that would correlate to the data we’ve collected on Hattori-san.”
Hakuba turned his back to the fireplace to regard the female detective, nodding his head once firmly.
“This opens up many possibilities, doesn’t it? I shall have to re-evaluate prior interactions with this theory in context, and apply it to the case files that I do have in my possession… I suppose my next step after this is to do research to narrow down actual psychological conditions and associated terms… read case studies, doctor reports…”
The detective sighed. It would be interesting and he would gain a lot of helpful information, certainly, but none of it was guaranteed to help Hattori-san. Or Kirigiri-san, for that matter.
“Do you suppose that you’ll contact him, then?”
