  Because Asuka Daisuke Junior had minimal talent, zero flair for the field of entertainment, he did it clumsily the first time. (And the second. And the third...) It was merely sleight of hand, he knew, but he was too straightforward, too rational to imbibe his actions with the mystique and wonder required to make the performance click, to make the magic magic. The detective, however, was pigheaded, a helpful trait in learning the little tricks, and her parents were kind and gentle teachers.

 A million repetitions later, he grew confident enough to pull one on Meimi, shrewdly choosing a moment she least expected. In the groggy silence of the severely lit room, he whipped the flower from thin air. Lips ajar, she looked at him with startled blue eyes, her disbelief half-annoying, half-satisfying. Then the redhead pealed with such delighted laughter, beamed with such fierce pride, that he had to let out a roaring guffaw of his own.

 Final exams or not, Asuka had to say it made getting thrown out the library worth it.
