There had been many times in the past where Aurum had questioned Feza's intelligence. He tried not to do it too often anymore, since it just seemed cruel after learning about her dedication to her craft, but this particular little event was really calling some things into question. The actual content of this gathering wasn't that bad, considering as of right now it seemed to consist mainly of sweet foods and a stage dressed up in lights, but who was in involved in it had him reeling. He could understand having Kaito help out, since the other was seemingly always amused by antics, and he had his magic to help entertain an audience, but Kaitou KID? What the hell was Feza thinking? Aurum thought of himself as crazy enough for agreeing to keep KID's identity a secret, but this was an entirely new level. Feza was seemingly just going to allow him to help out with whatever event she had going on, and there was no way this want going to attract attention. Negative attention, if KID's track record was anything to go by. The proxy would be surprised if no one came over and tried to grab him while he was relaxed – although that would probably ultimately result in nothing really happening. He supposed he could understand Feza's thought process of two minds being better than one when it came to throwing an event, but this was just ridiculous. Idly, Aurum found himself wondering if Kaito had revealed his identity to Feza as well, or if the snow leopard had just been interacting all nicely with a thief. Either one could've been true, and that was  enough to make Aurum wince.

Moving over to where Feza and KID were, the lion allowed himself a moment to look over the festivities, and everything that had been set up. It looked relatively innocent, and the lion could even admit that the funnel cakes and ice cream looked very good – provided there wasn't glitter or something else disgusting hidden in them – but that wasn't really the point. The point was that KID was standing next to her, all casual and asking what they were going to do for the actual party part of throwing a party. He was acting as if he hadn't broken into houses all over Tanglewood on his ill conceived mission to do right by his father, and it sort've pissed the lion off. However, he set his jaw to keep from snarling as he moved over, pawsteps heavy. He settled on the other side of Feza, clearing his throat before speaking in a rumble, "Hey, Feza... I'm guessing this is another event of yours? Why is he involved?" He shot a look over towards KID, his eyes practically screaming what the fuck are you doing? Part of the male knew he shouldn't have even been asking questions, and instead should've just been attacking on sight to capture the other to keep up the cover, but he just couldn't. For one, it would probably greatly upset Feza. And there was also a good chance that he would accidentally injure Kaito if he was successful, which was something he very much did not intend to do. So for now, he just sat there, his one eye narrowed suspiciously.

It really shouldn't have been that surprising, finding out that Feza had no idea about what KID had been doing around Tanglewood. After all, it wasn't as if the proxy had seen her at any of the occasions where KID had been attempting to steal something from someone's home, nor had she been a target of it herself, as far as he knew. The lion heavily wished that he could say it didn't feel good to see a genuine smile on Kaito's face for once when he approached, but he honestly just would've been lying at that point. An honest smile, even when the other was in that ridiculous outfit acting like he was all innocent, was far better than any of his false smirks or plastered on grins. The proxy considered greeting the other before he continued, but was swiftly distracted by the bowl of ice cream put down in front of him. It wasn't a commonly known fact that Aurum had a bit of a sweet tooth, but he certainly did, and it wasn't as if KID was actively trying to steal from anyone right now. So, he accepted the ice cream, pulling it a little closer and taking a lick, since the spoon didn't really work for him. When he heard KID, he just snorted, sighing and saying with a little shake of his head, "I guess I should've figured that she wouldn't know... just don't cause any trouble, alright?" He wasn't going to specifically threaten KID or anything, especially since he knew who the other was, but it did seem a bit ridiculous that one of their guardsmen didn't even know about one of the threats facing them at the moment – although KID wasn't exactly a threat, really.

After he had taken a couple more experimental licks of the ice cream – which really did just taste divine – Feza seemed to notice the proxy's presence, her face immediately lighting up at the sight of him. Aurum offered her a bit of a weak smile in response, hoping that his own sluggishness wasn't written all over his face. Hopefully the sugar in the ice cream would help somewhat with that. Nodding his head a little bit as he listened to her excited flood of words coming his way, the lion offered softly, "I'm sure it's very festive, Feza. It looks nice enough to me, anyways, and I'm not even really an event planning guy." That wasn't to say that he was incapable of planning events, of course. He just preferred to have the kind of events he planned be more focused on combat and training and practical things, while leaving the more festive goof off events to Feza. It had been a pretty good system back when they had both been guardsmen, and it continued to be a fairly good one now, at least in his opinion. When she continued her awkward rambling in an effort to justify her event, the proxy found himself glancing from Feza to KID, taking a deep breath before he spoke again in a rumble, "Magic, huh...? Well, I didn't know that he could do magic. Although I suppose I should've figured, considering the things I've seen him do..." He didn't really consider jumping out a wall with powers to be "magic," but he also knew it really shouldn't have been that surprising to hear that KID had some side skills as well.
