“Hmm… That’s true, indeed… But I have doubts.” The boy put a hand to his chin, thinking and assessing things for a few minutes. “If I remember correctly, just you, Hakuba-san, is able to chase down and track KID all by yourself. Isn’t your intelligence alone enough for everything?”

Just as soon as he realized the words he let out, Conan immediately snapped his head up to look at Saguru and smiled in defense with a small wave of his hands. “B-but I’m not saying that I wouldn’t like to spend time with you, Hakuba-san!”

And what was that about the inside information he has? Well, all the more reasons that Hakuba himself is enough. Especially since he already had further information about KID. Though, this is a bit exciting. Well, chasing KID had always been both frustrating and exciting for the shrunken detective.

“That’s all right, I understand. Do keep in mind that I haven’t been able to capture him yet, even with as much as I know. I’m not sure if we’ll ever be able to catch that old fox in the end, but it would be fun to try. But, ah, let’s get curry first. There’s a restaurant just down the street that I recall having the most wonderful tea to accompany lunch. Shall we?”

Goodbye

“Ah, Takagi-keiji, I just wanted to let you know that the situation is now under control… We were able to disarm the bomb successfully and the gunmen have been subdued. Although we’re still hoping for some backup to deal with the ‘pickup’ for down town, we’ve changed the status of the hostage situation from ‘at will’ to ‘stand down.’ This means that you can tell my father – if you’re still at the office – that yes, I will be there for lunch. Thanks, Takagi-keiji… we’ll get coffee again soon, ne?" 

OOC – haaha

I have 15 drafts here and 6 on Conan that need to be finished, plus drabbles and a million questions to answer. So sorry that I have been so slow/busy! And tomorrow, I’ll be camping with my writing group buddies (critique session in the forest AW YEA), so I won’t even be home until Saturday night! Boo. 

But I will get to everyone’s replies ASAP… get what I can done tonight and if not, this weekend!

Alright- the french did catch him a bit. He was so fluent! Admittedly a lot better than he was- then again he was able to get more practice than he did.

He cleared his throat, quickly attempting to drown out his thoughts with the tea. Tamaki wasn’t used to being flirted with back- especially from a boy. It wasn’t weird to him- just not used to the experience.

“ Suoh-sama is perfect.”

“Excellent. I’m quite pleased, Suoh-sama.” The cup, nearly emptied, returned to its saucer with a gentle, practiced movement. Hakuba then folded his hands in his lap, glancing back at his host. For being the King of a host club, it seemed that Suoh Tamaki was – somewhat insecure? Perhaps even shy, underneath all of that charm. Interesting.

Well, that wouldn’t do. The detective pursed his lips momentarily, then let another broad smirk slip onto his face. Hakuba’s plan became one with two goals: 1) build his host up into appropriate confidence levels and, 2) turn the tables to charm Suoh until he melted like butter – let him see what it was like for his guests. 

Yes, this plan seemed not only enjoyable, but productive enough. An experiment in human nature. And Hakuba rather enjoyed puzzling together the inner-workings of people. It would be a fun challenge. 

“Please tell me, Suoh-sama… if you don’t mind my asking, what is your favorite thing about being a host?”
