“You know, I have half-a-mind to find you now and see if this ‘phone dying when I’m around thing’ actually works.” He plucked the card up and looked it over, then scowled at the transmitter.
He had to be close enough to shoot this thing accurately, but he couldn’t find him from where he was standing now. Dammit.
And good luck trying to find him. He’s in his ‘incognito’ clothes right now, and he sure as heck wasn’t staying near after getting the card in place, so he just casually wandered off like any other random passerby. Didn’t want to test how close he’d have to be for it to take effect, so he’ll stick with his safety of ‘card shot’ distance and then stay in range for the transmitter to work.
The thief does know how not to bring attention to himself. Sometimes.
“Oi, oi… Give me a break, it’s not like I use my phone to just help me steal things. I do have a more normal life I’d like it to be working in, too. I doubt you’d be happy to get phone troubles, hmm, tantei-kun?”
He’s trying his best to fight off the fact that it’s warm where he is, and he’s try harder still to fight off the urge to relax and accept that this was going to be a thing for a little while.
“Watch the hair…” He grumbled, though he made no move to swat the thief’s face away.
“Haaaii…” Kid continued for a short time before moving his head onto the detective’s shoulder, lazily bringing one of the hands up to comb and straighten the slightly mussed hair.
