Mask or Menace?

[hateskid]

It's not that Aoko's not glad you're finally ready to take on games again, but is your thirty minute lunch break a good time for this?

I think Kaito is more patient than you are.

Oh well, Aoko really is looking forward to this!

[Speaking of Kaito...]

Aoko! There you are!

You sure took your sweet time.

[hateskid]

[ Blink, blink ]

Is Aoko late for something?

[tuxedo_magician]

I've only been waiting for you for forever.

Besides, so you know how many people I have to introduce you to?

[hateskid]

That's okay, Aoko likes to make new friends!

[ Maybe she can convince them to join her anti-Kid brigade ]

[tuxedo_magician]

Good. Because you'll have plenty of them. There's this girl here who likes to beat on people with a wrench.

[Oiiiii. KID hasn't even done anything there yet! Besides annoy the little detective that's running around.]

[hateskid]

That sounds dangerous, she could give someone a concussion. [ without missing a beat ] Has she tried it on you?

[ Picking on Children?? That's disgraceful, Kid ]

[tuxedo_magician]

No, of course not! I've been good.

... although there was this one girl that was convinced that I wet the bed. I'm still not entirely sure how the heck she came up with that idea.

[Hey. That kid is smarter then he looks!]

[hateskid]

Well, Chikage-san says that you did until you were seven.

But really you have, been good I mean?

[ Smart or not. He's still child. ...as far as she knows. ]

[tuxedo_magician]

My mom told you that?!

[Moooooooooom. Why would you? Traitor!]

Of course! Do you doubt me, Ahoko?

[Gives her the most innocent face ever.]

I'm even a paid magician now! I perform at the local casino.

[If only you knew, Aoko.]

[hateskid]

[ Her face lights up like Christmas ] Really? Aoko wants to see! She'll come to all your shows!

[tuxedo_magician]

You better! Otherwise my audience would be old guys.

[A sly grin.]

And my fangirls.

[Well, okay, that's just Usagi. BUT STILL.]

[hateskid]

[ Excuse her while she just starts laughing ] You have fangirls? [ She's actually jealous, but she won't tell him that. And it's funny. ]

[tuxedo_magician]

Of course I do!

Is that so hard to believe, Ahoko?

[He's fake pouting at her now.]

[hateskid]

[ She's just going to continue giggling. ] No, no. Kaito's magic is really impressive.

[tuxedo_magician]

I--

[And is that a beginnings of a blush? Maybe~ Usagi's been known to gush over his magic and he usually just grins, but to hear Aoko say it...

It just reminds him of the fact that he's missed his best friend. Even if he'll never admit to it.]

I learned from the best, so it has to be impressive!

[It's a lame comeback, he knows, but still.]
