[ Ah, Akira. The reason why he was so exhausted, and not only for the physical battles he had to endure. ]
There's no reason to thank me. I only did what I had to.
[ Had to, because Akira is a reckless idiot who doesn't listen to his warnings and keeps getting in trouble, but hey. Better not let his bitterness show!! ]
I wasn't aware you and Kurusu-kun were closely acquainted, though. I start to believe there isn't anyone in this town you don't know.
[ He's not really surprised, given their connection and all, but... Maybe he's a tiny bit jealous. Tiny bit. ]
Heh. Information gathering is part and parcel of being a master thief.
[ he doesn't know everyone in town, per se, but he knows of everyone, even if they haven't spoken; he keeps tabs on the population as best as he can. With only a handful of people living here, it's important to know who's around and what they can do.
Akira's definitely one of the people he knows, however. ]
Akira, though... We're related, believe it or not, so I do my best to look out for him. He's a good kid.
[ It's part and parcel of being an ace detective, too. Funny how they match like that. ]
You're... related, huh? Well, I can certainly believe it.
[ Actually, he can't believe Akira has hidden the truth from Lupin's face like that-- and it's not like that's above Akechi, of course, but he would like to at least get the memo on lies that he didn't make up himself!! ]
Although unfortunately, I don't think he shares your same ability to get out of trouble. Looking out for him can be quite challenging.
No kidding. I can't believe what he's gotten into. It's only been a couple months since we got here, and already...
[ well, he's died once, for one thing. Lupin has the tact not to actually say that; he merely shakes his head with a disapproving (but affectionate) sigh.
The truth is that the two of them aren't that closely acquainted, besides their strange connection. He'd like to change that, though - and he still feels responsible. ]
I've been teaching him a few tricks. With any luck, he's paying attention. A good thief should be able to get out of trouble.
