[. . . oh no are they having a moment!1 Kaito might be a little ways away on his own, but that doesn't mean he doesn't notice the SUSPICIOUS CHEEK BUMPING. he grins a bit to himself, evidently amused and charmed by their small displays of affection, as he slips the feather into his satchel. next, he holsters his firearm and starts spinning his yo-yo at his side]

You've got a pretty good idea there, Yata. I'll hold onto it for ya until we're done with this tower, yeah?

[and with that, he tosses his yo-yo up, lassos it around another sharp rock jutting out from the side of the stairwell, and begins zipping up towards the tower entrance again. which, by the way, is just ahead. they made it!1]

Ha! That climb wasn't too bad, was it?
