[glow=#000,1,400]WE'VE BECOMES ECHOES BUT ECHOES, THEY FADE AWAY — ｡+ﾟ.[/glow]
Slowly, but surely, Kaito listens to the tawny lion in front of him. His breath starts to slow - simply because he forced it to, his fur was starting to lay flat. He slams a paw against his face, grumbling and mentioning something about forgetting his poker face. The enigmatic teen just stand there, waiting for a reply about how this guy had no clue what as going on, that Kid was a madman, and that he needed to be locked up.
Only the first part was true and he was dragged into a hug. At first, his numbness took over, and he didn't feel like hugging back. After a short while, he reached over and gently tapped Aurum's shoulder, before grabbing it in a sort of hug. When he felt the nose touch his tophat, he made sure it was securely on. After the lion pulling back, the black smoke angora coughs and pulls away completely, looking at the ground. Then his eyes flicker upward. "I am not a petty thief," he hisses, licking his paw. "A phantom thief does steal, yes, but we don't steal lives. We are the villains putting on a show, and we are bold, and flamboyant." Really? Comparing him to a cat burglar? Eugh.
"As for understanding what I meant, well..." he sits down, shaking his head. "I suppose International Criminal 1412 can spare you his story." He wipes his cape, tophat, and monocle, making sure all dirt was gone. "My father was a magician - kinda runs in the family. So, I learned magic from him, and loved it. But, he didn't reveal his alter ego. He was the first Kaitou KID, the one before me. He did it because my mother - Phantom Lady - was a phantom thief, and he wanted to... marry her and give her a good life." Kaito glances over at Aurum, making sure he is at least looking at him. "He stole gems, returned them, like I did. But, he was affiliated with a mafia. He stole gems for them, and they could make replicas to sell on the black market, claiming it was the real thing. After a while, a certain gem caught their eye: Pandora. It was a red gem, inside of a different one, that is revealed underneath the moonlight. It's said to bring immortality. For some reason..." Kaito takes off his monocle, wiping tears from his eyes. "He told them he was done. He wouldn't find that gem. So, during a magic show, they kill him and make it look like an accident. About... four or five months after, I fall down into his lair, where he had programmed the suit to be shown to me. He wanted me to become the next Kaitou Kid. So I do it. And then, after a few heists, I meet a mafioso who said he killed my father and that he was still looking for Pandora, the so-called Stone of Immortality. So, I'm Kaitou Kid to find that gem, and smash it into tiny, little pieces before they can become immortal."
