[Toichi was not one to often seem like he was taken off guard. Even when he was, it was amazing how he kept most people from realizing it. This situation he's found himself in, however?

Well, even the great Kuroba Toichi has to have a bit of a 'bwuh' look at finding himself suddenly in a dining hall when he had been just walking into the kitchen. And quite the expansive dining hall at that with all the food prepared.

Sure, he could pull off a disappearing act, but he usually knew where he was going to end up.]

How...strange.

[Oh, and something to note? This Toichi looks...older then some people might know him as. At least eight years older than most Kaito's would remember him, in fact.]

Well, it might explain his leg up on the taskforce and Hakuba. They don't deal with murders, so they don't get to counter the Kid luck.

How good is he at poker?

Fairly good, even when we're not cheating. And I think you'd be surprised at the sort of things he's been involved in.

You've convinced him to cheat? That in itself is quite surprising.

What else has he been involved in?

One of my finer achievements. We're that much better when we work as a team~

...this and that. He's branched out a bit since, uh. [Cue general uncomfortable-ness at kind of bringing up the 'dead' subject. He'd been trying to avoid it.]

I imagine he'd have quite the advantage with you if the other party couldn't see you.

...I suppose he would know the circumstances you were in.

Yup! But the times when we're playing against people who can see me are just as fun, you know.

That and a few other things. The first... first hand account. Which was actually rather therapeutic for both of us, believe it or not. The second? Well... experiences since then. And a helluva lotta research. Seriously, at this rate? He's going to start needing glasses at some point.

[...uncomfortable attempt at humour?]

But of course. After all, then you can do quite a bit to throw off your opponent and it's always more fun to do it yourself.

[Very uncomfortable attempt.] ...are you any closer? [He can't help, but ask. After all, if Kaito knew something, some hint, then maybe even he could finally find it.]

[A sharp nod.] Definitely. Oh, the things I can do... It's always fun catching them out, and it never gets old.

... [You see that look? That is how he looks right now.] More like two steps forward, one step back most of the time. We haven't found it yet, but we're closer to them. [Leans forward, and rests his head on a hand, elbow on the table.] I can thank Tantei-kun for that, just so you know. And yes - in my world at least, they're the same guys.

Just don't overdo it. [Looks amused and approving though.]

...I had wondered about that. It seemed a possibility, with a side affect like that.
