…Well, not the worst thing a heist target could do…

Consequences of looking for cursed gems, he supposed. But that doesn’t help when the thief needs something like, oh, opposable thumbs to actually hold the dang thing. It was too large to fit in his mouth, too. As it was, he focused on trying to move it along with his paws, maybe at least get it somewhere hidden before he tries to find out what to do. If he needed the jewel to reverse his sudden change of species, might not be the best idea to let it be returned just yet.

…Though moving something shiny around like this probably wasn’t the best idea either. It’s getting really distracting…

…Yep. Gonna play with the shiny.

Tail waving happily behind him, Kaito hopped on the stone, causing it to roll away along the ground, though it didn’t take long before he chased it down to catch it with his paws.

And before too long, his ears twitched. Footsteps. He looked up, standing defensively over the gem, ears back at the approaching figure. No. His shiny. Wait, no, jewel. His jewel. Still didn’t want people taking it, but should probably try to not get so distracted…
