No, no, he probably wouldn’t be able to explain it in a way Hakuba would find satisfying enough. He highly doubted the detective would believe that he’d been hit by real magic, of all things, so, he kept his mouth shut, only offering the blonde a rather sheepish grin and a shrug.

At the mention of chocolate cake, however, the shrunken thief’s expression instantly brightened and he shifted, excitedly turning his head in the direction of the kitchen, both hands once more settling in Hakuba’s shirt to steady himself.

“Yes, please, tea sounds great. Chocolate cake sounds even better though~! You don’t happen to have any hot cocoa too? Or milk chocolate?" 

"I could make some hot chocolate, yes! And there ought to be some kind of chocolate confections in the kitchen…”  Hakuba grinned, though it all felt a little bit awkward, carrying the pint-sized Kaito with him into the spacious, expensive kitchen. Then he set the boy onto the counter and stepped away to get the hot water going.

“Do you like truffles? I know that Baaya keeps us well stocked on those.” Water going, he went to the cupboard for the box. “Chocolate, chocolate raspberry, caramel, peanut butter..”  He walked it back over to him.
