Kaito watches the older man. How he frowned, eyebrows furrowed, and he flicked his ear, seeming worried. That tone reminded him of... Oyaji. He clenches his teeth, grinding them against each other and unlocking his jaw with a pop. Then he looks up, nodding. So he wasn't joking. This was bad news. "Of course I am!" He purrs, yet his tone is almost defensive.

"Sorry, Aurum-san. But I remembered that I have to do something. It was nice playing with you. Have a good night. Ja ne!" He needed to leave, to be by himself to understand what the hell was going on.
