At least I knew what to expect when chibi-chan showed up at my heists...

You do realize that by giving me ice cream after I stolen a necklace worth tens of thousands of yen, you are practically awarding me for my criminal activities, right? Because I would hate to get the wrong impression.

Are you certain there was nothing added to your ice cream? You were not acting normal. Not that I am certain what normal is for you

I just thought you'd might like a refreshing snack after working so hard, is something wrong with that?

.............Oh. Um. No, nothing was wrong. Perfectly fine. Yes. Um.

Hey! I'm me! This is really Kudo Shinichi, not some freaky doppelganger. I have the birthmark to prove it.

I told you, I'm not trying to catch you. You don't have to worry about that from my angle.

Well, why not? You needed to relax, said you wanted ice cream, so I decided to bring it to you.

Can't I just be friendly?

You're welcome! Well, good. Because I'm not stopping. Preferances for your next heist-snack?

Just bring them next time, I'll take them then. I do like them.

Did you somehow miss the memo where as a detective you are suppose to remind me, the thief, that stealing is bad, it's probably hurting someone, and other pithy moralizing platitudes to convince me to turn away from my path of immorality?

Oh, like that was a ringing endorsement.

Well, one would think if it was a competent doppleganger, it would also have the birthmark, but I am not sure I would call you a competent doppleganger. I would think if you were really a good copy, you would not be acting so out of character.

Well, I am still not entirely convinced of that yet. You might say the very fact that all the evidence is in your favor works against you.

Yes, but you did not have to bring it to me. I would have found some on my own at some point. Not to mention, it seems like you spent quite a lot of time and energy just to be able to give me a snack.

I suppose so if you wish, but it seems rather an odd way to go about it. Plus, I am still a little confused as to why you even want to do this. Sure, chibi-chan and I were friends

I like being unique.

.....Um.

This is assuming they've seen me totally in the buff, of course. And I'm not acting out of character....well...I just make some exceptions for you.

Well, I'll just have to try harder.

But ice crwam is more fun with two people. I didn't feel like being alone, wanted to see you, and you needed ice cream. It all worked out.

Why is it odd? I want to be friends too. And I don't approve iof it, of course, but that doesn't mean I'm going to chase you and lecture you for it. You don't need that from me.

Indeed. You're great company. Of course. Now, like I said.....what would you like to eat next time?

Nothing strawberry goes to waste around me....but you would not ahve eaten them? Do you not like strawberry?

[magic_thief]

That you definitely are. I cannot think of anyone I have ever met who is quite like you.

If there was something wrong with the way I looked or if you thought the costume is silly looking, you can tell me. I certainly will not be offended.

Well, I have not seen you in the buff, so the presence or lack of said birthmark will not do much to convince me that you are not the real Kudo-san. But exceptions for me? Such as what? And why are you willing to do that?

You do that. I am sure I will at least find it entertaining.

So it did, but it still seems like you did a lot of work just to give me an ice cream cone, especially since you were suppose to be spending the evening relaxing. Did you at least read your book at some point?

I suppose when you look at it that way, you might not see it as odd. While I who is still trying to understand what a detective of your caliber is interested in a simple thief but apparently not to capture him, finds it extremely strange. After all, while I do not need you to lecture me, but I certainly did not
