[Well that's exactly why he feels safe doing it. He's sure, if nothing else, Shuichi will warn him. And he's fast, so a warning would be enough! His smile broadens into a grin when the detective agrees.]

Right? It basically always sounds good. Which is a problem, since there are strict laws and regulations to tea drinking that must be followed, otherwise you could be thrown in jail for life! Luckily they stopped handing out death sentences a few years ago. Double luckily, if you decide to break the rules, I can totally break you out of jail!

[His hands move to clasp behind his back, grin brightening even more as he launches further into his playful lies.]

Of course, then you'd be a criminal on the run, like me! And I'd be in even more trouble with the law for breaking you out! That could be the start of an exciting adventure story, you know! And I think it would be decidedly not boring to be stuck on the lam with my beloved Saihara-chan~!

[He's not even trying to make this convincing, just obviously having fun with it.]
