Mask or Menace?

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!

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. ]

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.

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.]
