"I don't know; I don't remember." Lupin smiled as he said this, making a joke out of something he was honestly serious about. He cast the inspector a wry look, wondering if he realized just how redundant the question really was.
He was grateful that at least Zenigata understood his manner of thinking. It was true that he could get out at any time, but Lupin at least wanted to appear to have all of his bases covered. People can't blame a thief that's already cuffed, right? In a small way, it was him attempting to take back control of his own faculties. It probably wouldn't work in the long run, but at least it made him feel better.
He reached for his cigarettes as he spoke, and fell short when he realized that they would be as soaked as his jacket, his shoes, and his hair. With the adrenaline rush from his tussle with Zenigata ebbing, he was realizing that November was a terrible time to take a dive into the fountain...
"Hey. I'm gonna need to get someplace not out here to dry off. I'll be good--I promise." For a while, anyway.
