[Open rl - FEEL FREE TO VISIT] backdated to the 27

[clockmaster]

His father was talking about something or other. He would usually be paying attention, yet there were times when he did get lost in his thoughts, today was one of those days. He was lost in his thoughts looking to Aoko on the other side of the room sleeping in the bed, even if he was as tired as her, Hakuba was fully awake and couldn't sleep at all.

Kenji stopped talking realizing that he wasn’t paying attention. The silence however brought Hakuba back to reality and he was ready to apologize, but his father smiled and stood up. Kenji kissed his bandaged forehead carefully and murmured something about the case. The guards on the door of their room saluted his father as he went out to attend the paperwork as fast as possible.

Hakuba looked at the ceiling, careful not to move his broken arm much, and sighed.

Kid narrowed his eyes at Hakuba, before he shifted in his seat to cross his legs just like a woman would. "Better?" he asked with a roll of his eyes, completely ignoring the blush on Hakuba's face. He would rather pretend it wasn't there.

"Of course there are things to apologize for," the thief said, "Considering it's my fault you two were kidnapped."

heh <3

"Quite.." He murmured softly and then his voice changed to a more self secure voice. "If I considerer something your fault be sure that I will tell you. I don'r want to hear anything more about that, but you can tell em what exactly happened when I was..gone."

Kid quirked an eyebrow at Hakuba. "There was a virus that took people to 19th Century America and made them travel the Oregon Trail," he explained nonchalantly, "People had to watch their friends die, even though they didn't die for real."

If Kid hadn't been a master of poker face, he probably would have flinched here. Watching Conan die twice and Ran die once had affected him a lot more than he let on as well.

Hakuba gave him flat look. "....the joy of the community. I didn't missed it."

He looked at Aoko to be sure that she was still sleeping and then back at the thief/nurse. "How did you find us? And why Hattori got involved? Conan too, I'm assuming. "

[pandorabox]

Kid nodded solemnly, silently wishing he could have skipped this virus as well.

His gazed momentarily diverted to Aoko as well, and if Hakuba was sharp he probably would have seen a slight flash of guilt in his expression before it was gone. "We found you because Vermouth left us clues," he said, "Kudo followed them, and they all led you to. We needed the help of the police force, so we recruited Nakamori. Hattori lent us his mind." The thief tapped his forehead. "And apparently offered himself as a shield to protect both of you."

"Stupid monkey." Hakuba murmured, but his voice has a bitter tone and he was avoiding Kid's eyes.

[pandorabox]

"Don't say it like that," Kid instructed with a yawn, "You can't blame yourself. I'm still of the thought process that you should all be blaming me."

"I can blame who I want, don't be selfish and want it all for yourself." Hakuba shrugged and then remember that it was a bad idea. "I blame it on her."

[pandorabox]

Kid chuckled. "Fair enough," he said as he stood up to leave. He hesitated momentarily, shooting Aoko's sleeping form another worried and guilty glance, before he sighed. "Hakuba-san... do me a favor and talk to her when she wakes up. She might need it."

Hakuba gave the Thief a measuring look before to reply slowly. "I will."

[pandorabox]

Kid nodded and snapped his fingers to unlock the door. He placed his hand on the doorknob, before turning around and giving Hakuba one of his famous Cheshire cat grins. "Until my next heist, Tantei-san~" he said in a female voice, before he opened the door and slipped out into the hallway.

Hakuba frowned at the door, wondering what was the last comment about. He looked over the sleeping girl, talking is what they been doing all the week. They will need to do it again soon.
