[ Kaito had mostly calmed down since the sudden arrival of his childhood friend and after telling her parts of the truth he felt a hell of a lot more relaxed. He still spent a good amount of his time locked in his secret room banging his head on the desk but for the most part, he's calmed down. ]

[ Which is part of the reason he's out on a walk with the brat detective. The other being that he had to keep up appearances while borrowing the detective's identity and make an effort to act a detective Concerned about the well being of everyone trapped inside the giant bubble. It's become a sort of routine for him step out after dinner and walk through town making sure nothing is amiss. ]

[ He steps into the center of town, feeling a tiny bit uneasy despite the usually cheerful atmosphere the lovely residents provided. He could feel something like terror building in his stomach and swallowed hard. Maybe he should call it an early night. He started to turn and tell his small companion that he was going back but his eyes fell on the most terrifying thing he'd ever seen and the words were lost as he could only stand horror-struck with his wide and his mouth only vaguely trying to form a single word. ]

[For lack of other options, Conan had resigned himself to playing along and keeping a very close eye on Kid. After all, of anything happened it was his reputation on the line.

And... it was Ran. After seeing how happy she was with a Shinichi to worry over, how could he deprive her of even that false comfort? She was happy. He'd take much more humiliation than this if it meant she wasn't worrying over him.

Which wasn't to say that he had full intentions of dogging Kid's steps and interfering in certain situations.

So, here he was walking through Vatheon with Kid. A kid who was behaving very strangely at the sight of a fish. Conan watches with interest and absolutely no sympathy.]

Does Shinichi-niichan not like fish?

[kid_in_disguise]

[ it's not even a real fish, only a design of one and yet it has the same effect just the same. The color is starting to drain from his face and he takes a few steps backwards, trying to keep as much distance between himself and that-that thing! ]

O-of course I don't! Wh-who could ever-[ He's cut off though, as Kid isn't nearly as graceful as he would have everyone believe and steps into a bucket filled with soapy water which, of course, causes him tumble over backwards, knocking a few other banners down in the process. ]

[deductiongeek]

[Interesting, very very interesting. Conan adds this reaction to the mental file he has on Kid.]

Ne, ne! Are you okay?

[kid_in_disguise]

[ Kaito grumbles incoherently and tries reorientate himself. Damn Fish banner. ]

Don't even act like you're concerned you br- [ ....What is his hand on? He looks over slowly and becomes aware there's a fish banner touching him. It is touching him. ]

[ His lips twitch for a moment before he gets up faster than humanly possible with a loud shriek of terror and backs up again, standing in the middle of the sidewalk and stubbornly not budging. ]

What kid of place is this!?

[deductiongeek]

Do you really want me to answer that? [There might be an air of smugness to Conan's voice. He'd figured it out.]

[kid_in_disguise]

No.

[ He takes a deep breath to try and calm his nerves. Okay Kuroba. You can do this. It's just fi- just-just... ]

...

I'm going home.

[deductiongeek]

Oh? But I don't feel like going back yet. And surely you don't want to tell Ran-neechan about how you left Conan-kun to explore by himself.

[kid_in_disguise]

No.

[ There has to be a way out of this. There just has to be. ]

...I'll just tell her you fell asleep and I had to carry you back. [ Where did that can of sleeping gas come from? ]

[deductiongeek]

[He sputters.] Is that going to be your solution to everything now?

[kid_in_disguise]

If it's an emergency? Yes.

[deductiongeek]

How is this an emergency?

[kid_in_disguise]

I'm not going near those things. I hate f-fish. [ Shudder. ]

[deductiongeek]

Why? [It was a valid question.]

[kid_in_disguise]

Because.

[ And that was a valid answer. ]

[deductiongeek]

That's not an answer at all.

[kid_in_disguise]

Yes it is. It means it's none of your damn business.
