I started to walk, pretty soon I will run...

In the lobby today is a new flavour of Hakuba Saguru which may be slightly familiar to some, but won't be the one they're thinking of.  At the moment, he's leaning against a wall, perusing the insides of a rather interestingly designed pocketwatch.  A full minute later, it snaps shut and goes back into its pocket.

As he looks up, his dark blue eyes

... clearly a case of confusion is necessary

Doctor? In Kaito's mind, that word only meant one thing. And somehow, during his stay in this really weird mansion, he had managed to lose the very Doctor he was looking for yet again. The guy was far too slippery for his own good.

But as soon as that word reached Kaito's ears, he poked his head out from behind the corner to investigate. From afar, it's difficult for him to see the physical differences between this Hakuba and his own Doctor.

"Oi! Doctor!" he called across the hall, "That's you, right? Where the heck to you disappear off to this time?"

But of COURSE~

Hakuba starts up from his leaning position and looks over in the direction of where Kuroba was shouting from. He then smirks somewhat laconically.

"Kuroba. Fancy meeting you here. So I suppose that means he took you along for the ride as well, hm?"

Kuroba. Kaito's pleased grin faded. That was a tell-tale sign that this blond wasn't the Doctor at all, but yet another Hakuba. He really had been running into a lot of those, hadn't he?

-- except this one didn't react with the normal confusion that the others had. Weird.

"What do you mean 'he'," Kaito asked as he approached the newcomer. The closer he got, the easier it was to notice the physical differences between him and the Hakuba he knew, "'S not like it matters anyway, though. You're not the one I'm looking for."

[timelordtantei]

He's confused at both the wide range of reactions he's recieved so far, and the fact that Kuroba didn't seem to know what he was talking about.

"By 'he' I mean the Doctor. Westerner in a suit and brown coat." Baffled, with added tilt of the head to one side. "What do you mean, I'm not the one you're looking for?"
