Absolutely NOT looking for a Hakuba for vatheon

[theinfamous1412]

Dear Mun,

No. Hakuba Saguru would not be 'an awesome addition to the train wreck' that is my CR with the current cast.

Kindly remove the thought from your head. However, if you would like to pursue the idea of enabling that delightful gentleman thief you may feel free to do so.

No, but unfortunately I have a very busy schedule and seldom get the opportunity to listen in on Kuroba's conversations- He doesn't stay in one place very long, or should I just plant a bug on him?

But of course, detective. How could I not?

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

Why go to all the trouble-- just borrow one of mine.

[Joking. He's joking, I swear.]

[theinfamous1412]

[ Note to self. Check all the things he owns for bugs. ]

....I make it a habit not to borrow things from detectives.

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

[As if Hakuba would be so obvious as that.]

Really? I'm sure my family has a few things in our collection that might catch your interest.

[theinfamous1412]

[ H-he just has to make sure now. ]

Stealing from a detective is different than borrowing something, now isn't it?

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

Considering you would more than likely wind up giving it back in the end? No, not really.

[theinfamous1412]

Taking something without permission, despite the intention to give it back is still classified as stealing, at least, in the eyes of the law. Isn't that right, detective?

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

The law is not always completely infallible.

[theinfamous1412]

You think I'd get off with a light sentence, if I were to be caught?

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

I think if you're depending on Nakamori-keibu or me to catch you, you'll be waiting for a very long time.

And if you ever get sloppy enough to be caught by anybody else then you deserve the worst sentence possible.

[theinfamous1412]

As if anyone could catch this Kaitou Kid.

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

Just make sure it isn't a bullet that does the job, either, Kid.

[theinfamous1412]

I'm more than capable of looking out for myself, Detective. Though I thank you for your concern.

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

I'll believe that when I see it.

...
Coincidentally, is it just gems you're cycling through these days?

[theinfamous1412]

I will neither confirm nor deny any assessments you make about me or my habits.

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

[Genuinely rolling his eyes now.]

When's the last time you've seen me at a heist, Kid? Do you really think any of this mysterious phantom bullshit is necessary with me?

[theinfamous1412]

Language detective, there might be small ears about.

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

If you're still referring to Edogawa-kun, I'm almost certain that I've heard him say worse.

[theinfamous1412]

I won't deny that. But actually, there's no telling when a small child might wander in. It's a very public place. [ Actually he's just trying to distract him the previous question, but hey. ]

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

They're going to hear it at some point in their future anyway- the world is a dirty place. I'm only preparing them for an unsheltered reality.

Besides, they would deserve nothing less for intruding on a private conversation.

[theinfamous1412]

A private conversation in a public place. Has that ever worked well?

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

It does when people mind their own business.

Would you like to see my family's collection of gems? They're not numerous or terribly ostentatious, but I've seen you target smaller before.

[theinfamous1412]

...So now you think you can bait me with shiny objects now?

[ S-sad that it might be working. ]

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

[That's because Kid is a magpie.]

"Bait" you say. I thought I made it clear to you, Kid-san, I'm not interested in catching you anymore.

I've turned my eyes to larger prey.

[theinfamous1412]

..Is there any reason that sounds like the worst lie I've ever heard? Or did you honestly give up trying because you realized you couldn't?
