Hook, line and sinker.
All that was left to do was to reel him in.
“No, this surprise is like no other surprise I’ve had for you, this surprise is special, made just for you.” Hakuba smiled as he looked up at him. “I also walked here, in hopes that you’d give me a lift home, since you’ve been meaning to take me hang gliding, have you not?” Oh yes, this was good, distract him from the past with invites to new, shiny things and situations he actually wants to be in.
“And since you’ll have to wait till we get home to see your surprise, I’m sure you’ll want to hurry.”
The thief’s ears completely faced forward by now, interest completely caught. He was the one normally asking the other to glide, so, yes, he’s distracted from the add ons more. Hakuba had also come here on his own before they’d shown up, so whatever was planned more than likely didn’t have to do with them, so not much to worry about with that either.
“A-ah, yes. Right,” he finally said at the small prod to get moving, his mind already starting to try and look ahead, guessing at what the surprise might be. A quick search through the pockets and the belt used for carrying a passenger was handed to his detective to put on while Kid bent down to grab his hat, hesitating to put it on over the ears again. It wasn’t all that comfortable, and unless the police were going to beat all odds and come running through the door within the next couple of minutes, the cover wasn’t needed, either…

More pausing, a small glance at Hakuba, and then a soft smile spread as he went and slipped it onto the other’s head.
“…Thank you.”
