"The timing of it is off too. Besides, you'd get suspicious if I didn't annoy you from time to time."

He kneels and pokes through the debris.

[deductiongeek]

"I can't really argue with that."

Conan had already started to get suspicious about that. Especially since it had been a while since Hattori had tried to prank him as well.

"What are you looking for?"

[stealsyourheart]

"Anything to see if I can work out why it failed. Hm. The wall might be a bit too thick I think....

Say. You know him better than I do. Is Hattori-kun ok?"

[deductiongeek]

"He's been having some trouble adjusting," Conan says carefully. He didn't want to share too much of his friend's personal business.

But now that he'd talked to Hattori and figured out the source of the problem Conan fully intended to drag Hattori along on the quest to find a way home until he also believed that it was possible. By sheer force of will if necessary.

"Just don't test them on me."

[stealsyourheart]

"Who else am I supposed to test em on? You saw how Skywalker-san reacted!"

He makes a face.

"Yeah? I did think he wasn't quite himself. I'll try and keep him distracted, and you can do the friend thing."

[deductiongeek]

"Do you really have to test them on a person? Wouldn't setting up a target in the gym work just as well?"

Conan privately thought that he was probably the worst person to try and do any friend things. He'd never really figured out how any of that worked. But... it was Hattori. So he'd try.

"Try to avoid any distractions that involved malfunctioning smoke bombs."

[stealsyourheart]

"You looked bored." He retorts with a grin.

"Eh. You know he'd enjoy them."

It would be a distraction, after all. Maybe he should stage a heist. It'd be a pretty simple one from necessity but it might keep both his detectives from dying of boredom and homesickness.

[deductiongeek]

"I don't think enjoy is the right word."

Conan would like to insist that he wasn't that bored.

[stealsyourheart]

Little Detective, you are all but growling - you are absolutely that bored, is what Kaito would answer.

"Well distract then." He says cheerfully. "You can even help me plan something for him, if you want." Kaito is an equal oppportunity prankster.

[deductiongeek]

Conan was only a prankster by circumstance. He'd take advantage of the moment id he saw an opportunity, but he had very little interest in the kinds of practical jokes that the other two had been getting up to.

"Pass," he says bluntly. "I'm not getting involved."

Unfortunately for Conan, he hadn't realized that it was already too late.

[stealsyourheart]

Kaito laughs.

"Sure, you say that. You'll be bored enough soon, I bet." He teases.

[deductiongeek]

Conan frowns at him.

"Not bored enough for that."

[stealsyourheart]

"You say that now, but give it time!"
