Are you awake?

The thief had let himself in again, as expected. Though, not as expected, the detective wasn’t there. Hadn’t come back from the heist yet, maybe? Or possibly in another room… But while he was comfortable enough dropping into Hakuba’s room, not so keen on walking around the rest of the house after sneaking in…

…At least, not like this. And not after a heist, if the yawn was any indication of how well that would go.

Hmm… Kid could just leave a rose or note and leave. It’d be enough for the other to not worry, at least…

…Not that there was any need to rush home though. No one was waiting for him or anything.

He glanced out the window he’d come through, staring up at the moon for a moment before looking back down. Then, he moved over to sit along the seat beneath the window, taking off his shoes before turning to lean against the narrow bit of wall, drawing his cape around himself and crossing him arms, letting one of his legs stretch out while keeping the other bent slightly.

And he just stayed like that, watching the door a couple of times, but mostly just looking out past the glass next to him. The thief wasn’t even fully aware when his eyelids started to droop, until, eventually, his head fell to the side, the brim of his hat bending against the pane. He didn’t wake when the detective did come in.

“Th’ p’nguin flew… o’er t’ th’ next b’lding… Got ‘way… Stup’d ‘brella…” he muttered before moving to try and bury himself in the cranny more.

          She pressed a kiss against his forehead— the inebriated birthday 
     boy now securely tucked into his bed, with some of her aid, and fits
     of giggles all the way. It was good that he seemed to have a good 
     time, even if the means had not lent themself to the perfect moment
     in which she could present her gift.

     Maybeit’s for the best. Something to ease the displeasure of a hangover.

          The thought made her smile, glancing at his dormant face, and
     giggling quietly, slipping her hand into her pocket, and setting the
     trinket on his nightstand, before placing the note which went with
     it, to it’s left.

                                   It read:
                                                  My dearest Saguru.
                                               I was aided in crafting this by some of the
                                               locals I met in my travels. Bolivian rosewood,
                                               I believe it is. And antelope antler.
I approximated your size— 
                                               but It should at least fit one of your fingers.
Happy Birthday, my darling.

nd just as she said she might, she grabbed the sham off the edge of his bed, and climbed into the highback chair in the room’s corner, huddling down, and drifting to sleep.
