Who: Shinichi Kudo (who is absolutely not secretly the same person as Conan) and anyone who wants to meet him
What: Last chance to meet Shinichi before he returns to being Conan. 
When: Now
Where: The hallways and castle garden

Shinichi was perfectly aware of how dangerous his situation could become. He could hardly forget that. His secrets could get people killed. He knew what the stakes were.

He knew the smart thing would be to seal himself in his room so that no one in the castle could see his face and realize just how similar his face was to Conan. More similar than a distant relationship could explain.

But he couldn't stand it any more. Five days of remaining in his room and only escaping for the briefest moments were beginning to drive him insane.  He had to be out there investigating and seeing everything that was happening in the castle.  

Shinichi never had been able to resist his curiosity. It was what got him into so much trouble.

And so he pauses just long enough to put on a baseball cap to shade his features before heading out through the least used hallways of the castle and making his way out into the gardens.  Surely it would be okay for just a few minutes. There was nothing suspicious about a teenager kicking a soccerball around the gardens, right?

Luke happens to be walking by when he sees a soccerball rolling past. He chases it, turning back to the older kid a few feet away from him.

"Ah, excuse me. Is this yours?"

[deductiongeek]

Shinichi stiffens slightly as he recognizes the boy, different as he looked from this angle.

"Ah, yes. It is, thanks."

[tapshoetomove]

"Good thing it didn't roll too far, huh?"

Luke will roll it back towards him. Luckily he doesn't seem to recognize the other boy.

"Do you mind if I play too?"

[deductiongeek]

Shinichi will reach out and trap it under his foot.

"I don't mind. How much do you know about soccer?"

How else could he respond?

[tapshoetomove]

"I've played a game of it before in gym class."

[deductiongeek]

"That's a good start." Shinichi kicks the ball up and starts bouncing it on the top of his head.

"You know the rules, then?"

[tapshoetomove]

"Of course! You don't need to explain it to me."

[deductiongeek]

"Okay, then catch!"

Shinichi passes the ball to him.

And as soon as Luke catches the ball, he'll set it down so he can kick it.
