There was no getting through to this guy.
   He wanted to suggest that they agree to
   disagree, but he decided to drop the
   subject entirely. Instead, he reached
   forward and pinched at the kid’s face.

“So, how long are you stuck like this? I’m
   gonna guess that you don’t have the
   luck of being stuck like this forever.” It
   was an exaggeration, but it had felt like
   ages since he was actually Shinichi and
   not some temporary fix.

“Oi!”

Kaito pulled away from the pinch-y fingers, rubbing his cheek with a hand, frowning slightly. He gets enough pinched faces when he’s bigger, no need for them while he’s like this…

“I’m not really sure… Could be a few days, a week, a month… Hopefully not too long, I do have my job to perform, after all. But yeah, I don’t think it’s permanent.”

Sorry, tantei-kun. He’s not going to be joining the league of teenage chibis anytime soon, if he can help it.
