Half-assed macaronian llama douche? Quite the… unique insult….
The thief looked around to make sure no police cars were speeding around nearby before slowing, turning to the person behind him.
“Erm… I am… However, I’ll have to apologise about not giving my target to you, as I’ve made arrangements for the jewel to be returned already.”
Not that he would have just handed it over anyway. Even the detectives had to at least catch him at the heist to get anything back, not just happen upon him in the street afterward.
Xie cringed by reflex -partly because of his uneasiness xie couldn’t help but feel, partly because xie didn’t want to answer.
“Yes. Everyone has their secrets. Also stop feeling uncomfortable you can literally take off whenever you want I am no threat for you. ..Even if it’s a bit depressing to say actually.”
Considering he had been trying to hide it, having the other tell him to stop being uncomfortable didn’t really help make the feeling go away. If anything, it got worse. But Kid tried pushing it aside. The police technically had his age from Hakuba, even if they didn’t do anything with it, so it wasn’t like having some other random person know it was too bad. It was true that he could leave at any time, if the person’s stamina was anything to go by. Not like they were attacking him either, if one didn’t include the insults.

“Well, as you said, everyone has secrets. Especially a phantom thief. Of course I’ll be concerned if people start saying things like that to me.” A shrug. “But fine. I won’t pry if you don’t want.”
And now came the curiosity…
“But may I ask why you suddenly tried to get the jewel back from me? Seems rather reckless, to try and stop a known thief and take back what he stole if you know you can’t really do anything to him.”
