*Saguru couldn’t hear the thief’s words. Instead, he continued to lunge at Kid and tried to stab him as all he could hear was the orders in his head to kill the other. The intent and explanation was in the riddle. Hopefully Kid would do something that could help him buy enough time for him to be able to solve it before the detective succeeded in his objective.*
The white thief continued to avoid that knife, not wanting to feel that cold metal anywhere near him. Easy to do right now, when Hakuba didn’t seem to use it, largely just trying to get a stab in, so thank kami that the other wasn’t skilled in that sort of weapon. He’d dodged a sword close range before, a knife felt simpler..
His next step back got cut short and his thoughts thrown off by a wall, sending adrenaline spiking through him as the feeling of quickly being trapped set in. Should be able to dodge anything fatal, if it’s another stab attempt, but damn if he wasn’t going to end up with some cuts after this, he should have been paying attention! Granted, hard to think with a sudden, close range attack sprung at him but… Card gun. Yes, if he could get his weapon, he could at least defend better… But all of this still felt wrong. Hakuba hadn’t responded, and how he looked… What was going on?
