secret in the moonlight // thievery

[wormwood.]

Everything stays, right where you left it.

But it still changes, ever so slightly, daily and nightly.

These encounters were beginning to get pretty fucking annoying. Normally thieves were, you know, thieves. They were silent, observant, and they got in quickly and got out the same. However, with this new asshole on the scene, he liked to cause as much of a fuss as possible, and then beat them all out just by using powers and shit like that. And as much as Aurum might've loved to knock the kid down a peg by using his own powers on him, that wasn't really a practical option. Aurum's powers were much more of the deadly variety, and considering that the thief hadn't actually hurt anybody yet, he didn't particularly want to kill him. However, this didn't stop the proxy's blood from boiling when he noticed what house Kid was going into. It was Indie's house. One of his best friends. One who had only recently returned, and was now all alone after her son hauling all of his shit to another house because she wasn't around. And now here Kid was, trying to steal something from inside the building. If Aurum had been a less merciful man, he probably just would've said fuck it and hurt the kid right then and there. However, he was a merciful man, and so instead he held himself back, making his way over quickly with long strides and the occasional quick flap of his wings to carry him along. He still had no idea of the thief's true identity, and although the other was in a new body, it was pretty clear it was the same thief, given his flamboyance. Aurum wouldn't have expected it to be Kaito, even though the boy had certainly been acting strange when he had fled his home following their game of battleship.

Once he reached Indie's house, Aurum let out a frustrated sigh, roaring loudly from the front, "Indie! If you're in there, please be careful! I don't want you to get hurt!" Sure, the thief didn't have a track record of hurting those that he was stealing from, but that didn't mean that track record couldn't be broken, and Aurum really didn't want to be the one to see Indie suffer because of it. Once his voice had hopefully reached Indie's ears, he quickly followed after Kaito inside of the house, intent on trying to catch the other once again. He doubted it would go well, but he did have at least one power on his side that the thief hadn't seen, and actually wasn't based on mutilation or injury. Once Kaito was in his sights, the proxy straightened up a bit, his eyes narrowing. He rumbled softly, his wings spreading out into an intimidating figure as he spoke from a few feet away, "Kid, this is really starting to get old. Just turn yourself in and you won't get as hard a punishment. If you keep doing this, things are only gonna get worse." His tone was very firm, and he sounded like he was using a mix of his Dad voice and his proxy voice.
