Aurum could feel a sort of thick tension in the air as he listened to Kaito, his jaw tightening slightly at the other's words. He knew well what it could be like, doing something just because it was what your heart told you was right, but his heart was telling him quite firmly that this was not what Kaito should be doing. He wanted to be angry, or shout that right at Kaito right now, but he found that he really couldn't be anything more than vaguely annoyed at the false bravado that the thief was putting into his voice. A heavy sigh left the lion after a moment, and he said roughly as he shook his head, glancing towards his own home, "Of course it puts a damper on things for me, Kaito. But... it isn't as if I can do anything. I'm not going to turn you in, at least not as long as you're not violent... but you have to be more careful. You can't be caught by anyone else. If I could figure it out, then others can as well, and someone less like me will punish you. I know Leroy wouldn't do anything too cruel, but it still won't be good for you..." Ultimately, all the lion wanted to do was protect Kaito, but he didn't have it in him to say that out loud. At least not right now, when it could very well end in Kaito running away from him.
