Later, right. For all he knew, ‘later’ meant days from now.
Tearing his seething gaze from the thief, Conan began to tug and pinch at various pieces of clothing. He missed his jacket and jeans, even if the material wrapped around him now was strangely comfortable. He had assumed from the start that the suit was only for show, but he supposed now that it made sense — one couldn’t successfully snatch a jewel while wearing something constricting and annoying.
A twist at the hips, and he followed the flow of the cape that fell from his tiny shoulders. It was then that he noticed a lack of red sneakers, upper lip twitching in a scowl. Of course, he should have expected that much — ah, but his watch and belt were still attached to him. Good, at least he had something to work with if his ‘twin’ became too amused.
“It’s not like anyone else will see me like this,” he spat, “so I’ll avoid the smiling part.”
“Killjoy…”
Despite the comment, the thief had continued to smile as the other checked over the outfit he’d been changed into, looking it over himself now that the chibi actually had it on. He hadn’t been entirely joking on the ‘younger’ part earlier. The size reference had come from his own clothes he’d worn as a child, using nicer ones he’d worn to his father’s shows, so he’d had a feeling it might fit just as well on the detective. Nice to know that assumption panned out.
“Even if no one will see you, it’s not like you’d lose anything by smiling either. In fact…” A flick of the wrist and a familiar pair of glasses appeared in his hand.
“How about this: You let me take one picture with you, where you’re smiling, and I’ll give these back now. And no, no one will see the picture, in case you might wonder.”
