Prospero's cheery mood didn't skip a beat as Naoto came downstairs and reacted with irritation to his presence while insisting Prospero not call him 'Nao-kun'. Instead he put on his sunniest and sincere attitude in response.

"Whatever you say, [i]Naoto-nii[/i]!" There was no sense staying at the future Boss's house if he didn't get the chance to tease him at least a little bit. At least not when all of his reactions up until now had been surprising and interesting enough. The fork Prospero had been playing with and an accompanying knife both appeared in his hands and he started in on the omelet as Naoto's mother explained that he was staying here from now on. Naoto seemed to take the news a lot better than the young Magician had expected, though Prospero personally hadn't thought of practicing tricks around the house before now and he had no idea what kind of trick would require the use of a bathroom. The idea actually seemed kind of interesting...

Prospero let Naoto get up and leave without a word and continued eating his breakfast while still humming cheerfully. It certainly felt a lot less coldly manufactured than a hotel breakfast, and it was absolutely better than the few disastrous occasions when he had tried to cook for himself. How he'd wished he could have made [i]that[/i] mess disappear! After he finished eating he stood up and stepped back suddenly then swirled and flourished the blanket he'd wrapped himself in so that it obscured him from view and tossed it down, revealing himself now dressed in a similar outfit to the one he'd worn the other day. He found himself having to resist the urge to give a fancy stage bow. "Thanks very much for the meal! I'll go make sure he doesn't get into too much trouble today!"

With luck Prospero would head out a little ways behind Naoto and be able to trail him without being seen. All of his efforts so far would be wasted if some Mafiosi with a grudge and knowledge of the future 11th boss decided to try and do something dumb, so that was clearly the sole and only motivation the orphan magician needed to follow Naoto around.
