“Hmm? Sure, I don’t mind…”
Kaito trailed off when he saw who had called out. He might not remember every random person he met, but someone who’d said he would be able to figure out who Kid is wasn’t the type he’d forget… But it did make him wonder if they really would be able to.
He smiled at the other, putting his hands in his pockets as he completely turned to face them.
“I’m not doing anything right now anyway.”
“Good! Well-”
Xie paused, frowning. That voice…
“…Oh, that’s you Kiddo? It’d been a while. Glad to see you’re out of troubles.”
Xie’d been careful to choose words ambiguious enough to not put him in an unwanted situation, but to be honest xie was a bit surprised; xie hadn’t been expecting to run into an international thief while running a dumb survey.
Well surprised for five seconds xie didn’t care enough to be all shaken up about it.
“Anyway, who do you think is the best? The detective of the East or the one of the West?”
He couldn’t help but chuckle just a bit. It was just like the first time, stopping mid-sentence before saying something that shouldn’t be easily known so confidently and casually. As a thief, he should probably have been worried someone could do that without even trying… But again, the other had taken care not to actually give anything away, so he really didn’t see a reason to.
“You make it sound like I get into trouble so often. Contrary to what some may say, I’m not that bad.” Usually.
“As for the question… Hmm… I’ll have to go with East, since I hear more about him over here.”
