[Larry grins as he watches that card disappear. Man this is cool.]
A family of magicians! That's even better, man! It's cool that you decided to follow your dad's footsteps, especially when he has a job as cool as that.
[Meanwhile, Larry suddenly wishes he never asked.]
O-Oh...
[He awkwardly looks at his snowcone, not really sure how to respond to that. He didn't mean to pry this much, so now he feels really bad about it even if Kaito seems okay with it...]

[the way he squares his shoulders makes it seem like he's pretty proud of what he's about to say]
I'm an artist myself. Not the conventional type, though.
[he claps his hands together, and-- POOF! he's suddenly holding a deck of cards]
I'm a magician.

Whoa! A magician! That's really awesome, man! Have you been in the magic biz long?
no subject
Pretty long, actually.
[and now he's shuffling idly while he talks]
I've been doing this since I was a kid.
[well. . . a much younger kid than he is now]
no subject
But he won't dwell on that at the moment, he gets what Kaito means.]
And you knew that's what you wanted to go into all the way back then? Not gonna lie, that's some dedication!

[flicks the first card off of the top of the deck and tosses it into the air. it disappears with a light POOF]
My dad was the best magician who ever lived. I picked up everything I know from him; there was pretty much no question I'd take up the trade as well.
[and he sure is speaking about his pops in the past tense]

Did he eventually retire, then?
[He did notice the past tense, yeah...]
no subject
[somehow his smile doesn't waver as he replies]
He died in a stage accident when I was nine.
[for such a heavy subject, he seems to be remarkably okay with talking about it]
