“I can name one.” Hakuba smirked.
“…Alright, who, then?” Not looking at you, tantei. Besides, if he were to say anything it’d be to point out the question had been who he wanted to…. not who he wanted to do it to him…

There’s a brief muttered question to why does that always seem to be what people are interested in all the time. Crossing his arms and not looking at the asker.
“…Yes…” A pause, and a small grin popped up. “And I’ll say a few guys and girls, though if I have to answer honestly, beyond that is not your business to know.”
“Umm… That I’ve met would be… three? Kind of. Though, I know there’s a handful more I haven’t spoken with.”
(He’s interacted with britishhsdetectivehakuba and flirtybritishdetective, and then whiteknighthakuba that I can recall. Pretty sure Spider’s met more than him by now. :V )
“A-ah… well…” Kaito looked down, face slightly flushed as he averted his gaze. “I don’t… It…it was… Hakuba.”
(Just for general notes on Kaito in Spider’s body right now, since it matters more for him than the other way around: Kaito doesn’t currently have the pale skin Gunter normally does. That’s hidden with magic, which Kaito doesn’t know how to use, and even if Kaito thought it might be makeup, he has no real reason to go to lengths to hide it himself.

So, minus evil look, he does have the dark skin and tattoo showing. He’s also not aware he has a scar on his back, since he can’t as easily see that as everything else, and he’s not really been so interested as to get a good look at himself without clothes. Bit more concerned with the owner of the body and getting back to normal.
He doesn’t have a grasp on illusion magic, much less hypnosis, and he hasn’t entirely caught on or focused to try and use it. He can control his emotions enough to where nothing happens, though if he’s particularly upset, formless illusions an go off. I’d say when he’s happy as well to where it just slips out, but that won’t be as noticeable and depends on why he’s comfortable. Danger and getting defensive does have it react more, if needed, though not having control also means his energy gets used up faster.
Even if he found where the weapons were at poking around the hotel, he would have them with him nor would he use them. He’s still the same inside, so generally friendly with people, not minding touch, and not wanting to really harm. Tends to smile more and treat people like he usually would, unless he’s specifically trying to convince someone he’s Spider.)

His appearance was only familiar due to the fact that she’d run into him a few times, one time being when he actually helped her out while she was injured. But it wasn’t that fact that made her approach him. He’d been playing with a deck of cards in a very familiar fashion. Not to mention he was apt to disguise himself should the need arise for a heist. So, she was sure of the fact that it was him. The idea wasn’t too far-fetched, was it?
Still, once she’d actually begun to run her fingers through his hair, she had a moment of doubt, scared she’d just done something wrong. A light blush crept into her cheeks and she smiled shyly.
“You seem very familiar to me.” She continued to ruffle his locks.”But not in appearance. I just wanted to know if I could trust my instincts.”
The bashfulness just made him all the more questioning at first, still wondering if it was from knowing the person he looked like or simply embarrassed at realising he’d just come up to a random person to touch their hair.
A blink at the response, though, and a pause passed before his smile softened and he relaxed more. Instinct, huh? …Well, it’s not as though he was acting differently, so… maybe he should have thought of that before getting concerned.
“…I suppose, in this, you can, ojou-san.” His head tilted a touch under her fingers. “What did you catch that made you think I was familiar, though?”
His eyes followed the other’s hand as it got close, though he made no move to knock the other’s hand away, relaxed as he was around his double… Or, knda former double? …Yeah… still felt more than a little weird, though he’s gotten a little more used to things.
“Yes. If you want proof…” Kaito grinned, which likely looked very out of place on someone who’s smiles were more along the lines of smirks. “Does anyone else you know know about our little game of ‘tag’?”
“Mm, well, if that’s the case, I think I can probably help,” he hummed, absently moving his fingers up to run them through that blond hair again, a slightly cheeky grin tugging at his lips as he ruffled the strands the other had just smoothed down. “Shouldn’t be too difficult to make a fake and replace the real one. Security’s probably looser too, since Kid’s already stolen it once and doesn’t usually steal things back, especially so soon.”
It might be a different story if the gem was within the hands of the police, but there was always the option of waltzing into the station as either himself or Aoko, with the excuse of dropping off lunch for the Inspector. On the other hand, it might get noticed sooner if he replaced the gem, but…
“You sure it’s the gem’s fault?” He glanced up – up, he glanced up, and was once more reminded that the thief was within Spider’s body and taller than him and, no, he should not be as jealous about that as he was. “Not that it’d be the first time, but– did anything happen with it at the heist?”
A roll of the eyes at his hair being messed up again, though Kaito kept the goo d humored smile. Much as he did mess with people’s hair himself, couldn’t really complain much when it’s done to him, even when his isn’t as messy as usual.
The questions made the corners of his mouth turn more to look considering. …Technically, this didn’t seem like it’d be the same in all honesty. Most things at heists with him happened right then, or gave some indication… This he woke up to the morning after, and he didn’t notice any flashes or something creepy with the gem itself the night before… Still strange, though.
“Well, nothing major that I can remember, actually… Just… more of a feeling than anything,” he admitted, hand moving to rub the back of his neck. “Spider was there, after all, and… I think he saw me checking the jewel. Or, it was after I did that I noticed him, at least. Could be Akako or something else, though something about that felt off. Worth looking into either way.”

“Maybe? But… it really doesn’t matter? It’s been quite clear that the ‘inspiration’ both for my dad and the idea of Kid in general was Arsène Lupin. It’s not like I was accusing the other guy of copying me, I was just saying that I didn’t take his look and I came before him anyway.”

(I have full license to break anything I want, wall or rules. Already did when talking about that one post.)
“If we are breaking that wall, then I should say something like age shouldn’t matter when we run on both comic book time. Yes, I was in the age were cassette tapes were more normal, which puts oyaji way back, and when organisations didn’t need much subtlety to work. Really, how on earth do they walk around building in huge groups without things like cameras picking them up nowadays? Tantei-kun might have gone from payphones to two cells, but my technology jump is outstanding.
…And yet I’ll end up younger than anyone who watches or reads Magic Kaito, so… forever aging, never growing. Curses of comics.”
