Aa, Megure-Keibu, please make sure not to mention my involvement into today's case.

[tuxedo_magician]

Not a problem, Meitantei. Anything a Phantom Thief can do to help his rival~

[themissingdetective]

You could save me some time by turning yourself in.

[ He's.... Kidding. Mostly. ]

[tuxedo_magician]

And ruin our fun~?

[themissingdetective]

You seem to think my life would be boring without you.

[tuxedo_magician]

Well, I don't know about that.

My heists would certainly be less challenging without you, however.

[themissingdetective]

Gee thanks, I'm flattered.

[tuxedo_magician]

As well you should be!

It's praise I wouldn't give to just any detective, you realize.

[themissingdetective]

Are you trying to say Hakuba's not enough of a challenge?

Hattori will be thrilled.

[tuxedo_magician]

Tantei-san is too linear, too focused. He's a decent enough detective and one that I don't mind clashing with, but he doesn't think in the same ways you do.

[themissingdetective]

Oh come on, he's not that bad.

[tuxedo_magician]

I never said he was bad, Meitantei.

But you two are detectives cut from a similar cloth, just a much different weave.

[themissingdetective]

I'll have to take your word for it. I've only worked with him on two cases.

[tuxedo_magician]

Unfortunately, I've had much more exposure to him.

[themissingdetective]

Unfortunately? I know a detective and thief don't get along by nature but you and I are generally civil to one another.

[tuxedo_magician]

Yes, but in our case, there's usually much more going on then just a simple heist.

[ Not all the time, but probably 75% of it. ]

[themissingdetective]

So you mean you would trust Hakuba to disarm a bomb or land a plane?

[tuxedo_magician]

Unfortunately, I don't believe Tantei-san has the same skill set that you do.

[themissingdetective]

His life must be relatively normal then.

[ How boring. ]

[tuxedo_magician]

I know, right? It sounds so dull.

[themissingdetective]

[ He may have snorted at that. Maybe. ]

[ still think he doens't have a sense of humor? ]

[tuxedo_magician]

[ Nice to hear that he got that sort of reaction out of you, Kudo. ]
