…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…
Heiji knelt down as to make himself look smaller to the kitten here on the roof. It was probably a stray but the question remained on how it managed to get up to the roof. Had it snuck in and made a home up here? Eattin birds and drinking rain water?
Maybe that’s why it was so small.
So carefully Heiji reached a hand forward. Cats liked to sniff things didn’t they? And he didn’t want the little guy scratching him up.
“Oi, ‘m not gonna hurt ya.” He said calmly. To be honest, he always had a soft spot for cats. "I just wanna help.“
He’ll get the jewel later or maybe just pick the cat up and let KID force know it was on the roof and KID long gone.
He crouched over the jewel even more when the detective knelt down, watching, following the hand as it got closer, half prepared to scratch, yes…
And then it stopped. Not touching anything, just held out, and Kaito blinked, waiting a moment before looking back at the other’s face.
Help? …I mean, yeah, I’m going to need some, more than likely… But I get the feeling what we think I need ‘help’ with is a little different from each other, tantei-han….
He’s not going to sniff the other and he stayed almost laying on top of the stone, but at least the former teen isn’t growling any more. Still wary, but Hattori being more interested in a cat instead of the stolen gem seemed to be a good sign, if nothing else.
