A THOUSAND YEARS // thief time

[wormwood.]

i was born, on the highway, in a train wreck

with a heart, that was beating, out of my chest

Truth be told, Aurum had not been attempting to inflict physical damage upon Kaito at all. He knew how to keep his claws back enough that they were fit more for grabbing than for mauling, and he really had been just trying to grab the kid so that they could figure out what the fuck was going on. However, Kaito was quick, and Aurum was very tired from not only forcing himself to stay awake through his injuries, but also forcing himself to stay awake for this whole little ordeal. So, when Kaito slipped back his claws and jaws, Aurum couldn't say that he was overwhelmingly surprised. Thankfully, the proxy managed to get his paws back underneath him before he slammed into the roof, knowing that if he had fallen down onto his chest, he would've been in a great deal of pain. The lion found himself whirling around just in time to watch Kaito leaping into the house, a soft snarl of aggravation leaving him. He called down to Miller, something akin to but just less than a scowl on his face at the other's earlier comment, "I was just trying to grab him! We need to make sure he doesn't get away!" He figured that much was obvious, but he also knew that Miller was a man who thrived on commands, and since Aurum was the highest ranking guard around Arrow's house, he took it upon himself to dole those orders and explanations out, even if it didn't come very naturally to him.

Tail twitching behind him, Aurum slowly descended down to the roof tile that Kaito had knocked out of place, taking special care as Roy had instructed him. He didn't even really want his kid around here right now, since God knows what Kaito was planning on doing – even if he didn't seem to be that violent – but he knew trying to send him away would be essentially a lost cause. Taking a deep breath, the lion crouched at the edge of the roof tile, calling down inside, "Kaitou Kid! This is not going to work out well for you! If you just come out of the building and surrender yourself, then maybe we can give you some leniency!" Since outright violence hadn't worked, Aurum stayed perched at the very edge of the new hole in the ceiling, trying to watch Kaito and see where he was going. Picking his head up for a moment, Aurum rumbled at Miller down below, "I want you and somebody else at the front and back of the building. If we can trap him in there, we can catch him." It was a simple enough plan, but would hopefully be an effective one. After all, if Kaito didn't have any way of getting out of Arrow's house, he would be forced to remain trapped inside of it, or surrender himself and whatever loot he had acquired. Besides, if Miller had a better idea, then Aurum was sure that the other would speak up and offer his advice as well.
