He does have to blink quite a few times at the request, odd as it sounded. But it just sounded like the other person was curious to him, so…
“Sure?”
“I work. Im a scientist,” he says and oh color him impressed! He watches the dove fly away. “I get mistaken for college kid mostly, so being asked if I am a high schooler is odd. I am sure my sisters would find it amusing,” he chuckles and he is actually toning down the creep factor for once. “How long have you been doing illusion magic?” he asks and just sems to be so focused on those blue eyes. Ah how lovely. He wants them.
After he let the dove fly off, Kaito let his hands slip into his pockets and lightly chuckled. College was still a type of school in his mind, but he didn’t need to bring that up, since the other already said he had a job.

“Since I was old enough to start practicing it. My father was a magician, so I picked it up fairly early on…”
He looked back at the scientist, tilting his head slightly as he considered which option to use for a return question. Curiosity pulled him to want to know more about the other too right now. Enzio had mentioned having sisters, but the brunet was also interested in asking about the other’s job… Hmm…
“What sort of work do you do exactly, if I may ask?”
