“There’s room just down the hall to the right, you can use that to get changed, then go through the kitchen, and the first door on the left is the dining room, I will be waiting for you there.” Hakuba nodded before making his way through the kitchen, grabbing the food, which he plated, as he did, placing it on the table on either side, one for himself and one for Kuroba. He then placed the box on the chair, so the other would have to pick it up before sitting, and took a seat himself.
He also poured a sweeter wine for the magician, and a more bitter wine for himself, and waited.
Kaito returned the nod and paused before heading over to the indicated room. He’d already been wearing half of the outfit, so a whole room wasn’t really needed, but it did feel more comfortable to not be putting on the more recognisable pieces out in the open. Jacket, tie, cape, hat, then…
The magician hesitated for a minute before finally putting the eyepiece into place and walking back to where the other had gone, following the detective’s direction to the dining room. When he did step into the room, he had to stop and take in the scene.
Hakuba on one side, food set out nicely on the table, and…. well, he could quite say he wasn’t entirely comfortable with the prospect of drinking right now. But for the most part…
…It was nice to see.
Of course, the box did get his attention rather quickly and he went over to the chair, slowly lifting it up and raising a questioning eyebrow at the one across from him. He did have a guess at what it might be, but for all he knew, the detective would surprise him.
