[ He quickly reassures the other boy that no harm was done before adding: ]
Let me tag along, just lead the way.
[ He's pretty sure Ken could handle this alone but having some kind of back-up shouldn't hurt. It's funny to Akira that he used to be on the other side of the chase more often than not. ]
[At first, Ken was a little surprised to see Akira wanting to join him. What kind of person would want to help him out in his quest for justice? Although, before he could even argue, he didn't have the time.
Instead, he just gave a nod before pointing toward the direction of the Inn.]
Mhmm, it's just this way! I'm sure if we run fast enough, we can catch him in time!
[With that, off he ran toward the place! How shall Akira follow this justice boy?]
[ Actually, Akira doesn't do anything flashy—he could use air magic, but he's not too confident using it when there's a fifty percent chance that him and Ken will just end up floating high in the sky. Perhaps that would help them pinpoint the thief's location but getting down would definitely take some time (unless they wanted to risk a free fall turning into diving down at a fast speed). If Ken needs to set some villains on fire, Akira's his guy. ]
How does he look like?! I'll keep my eyes open!
[ He's just behind Ken, wondering if they're lucky enough to bump into that thief just like Ken did with Akira. ]
[Now that was a good question, he didn't even stop of think what he might look like but it shouldn't be too difficult to look like someone was on the run.]
I'm not sure but we just keep to keep our eyes out for someone who has a bag of jewels right? Or someone who looks like they're trying to hide something!
[After all, a criminal was always easy to find when they stole something.]
I guess they're going to act suspicious, so it shouldn't be too hard to tell!
[ Alternatively, they'll just bother all the shady guys who happen to be running with a bag. The inn is just around the corner and it looks like they got here just in time to witness someone suspicious enter the building. ]
[As the both of them got to the Inn, Ken just kept his eyes open to look for that person entering the place. Narrowing his eyes, he gave a small frown.]
Now where could he be...? There's no way he could run away forever from us!
[ As soon as they're inside, Cat Sidhe decides to materialize just next to Akira. While that's unexpected, it's quite welcome, especially after he suggests guarding the door and not letting anyone out. ]
Hey, thanks. [ His familiar doesn't seem too impressed by Akira's words but when he's not looking, Cat Sidhe most certainly smirks. ] Let's split, we might find him faster that way.
[As Ken gave a nod to the both of them, he continued walking with his familiar to look for an odd looking person around the Inn. Giving a small pout, he was certain that he could find him.
Walking around, there wasn't anything odd just yet. Although, as he turned around, he couldn't help but eye a certain someone who was looking rather shifty. Before Ken could do anything, that's when the person noticed being spotted.
In that moment, that's when he started running toward the other side of the room.]
Akira-san! [Ken shouted in hopes that his friend would be able to catch said criminal in time!]
[ Caught off guard, Akira almost misses the thief trying to run past him. Almost is they keyword here—in an inexplicable impulse, he's raised his hand and caught the criminal by the edge of his coat. Although Snagglefoot is trying to yank himself free, Akira's grip is surprisingly strong. ]
[As Ken managed to catch up, he just stared at Akira before looking at the criminal attempting to run. Trying his best to ignore his grip, he was still trying make a break for it.]
Akira-san, you're a lot stronger than you look.
[Ken said with a dumbfounded expression on his face. However, that quickly disappeared before the crook was trying to take off his coat.]
Oh no, you don't! You're going to tell us why you took the diamonds before we get you into jail! [All the while trying to sound heroic too!]

Like I'm telling you, you nosy kids.
[ He's still trying to free himself, but Akira doubles down on holding him in place which only makes Snagglefoot more annoyed. ]
Do you even know where the jail is?!
[ Akira realizes that it's a fair question for which he doesn't know the answer, oops. ]
