[ Wandering around the Institute by himself was probably how he should've done it in the first place. No money on the line, no nothing like that, just flat out figuring shit out without relying on anyone or anything else. Sure, now he could bring Heero, but he was just freshly back off of the ship and all, he didn't want to push it. He started this mess by himself so it only seemed right to finish it that way too.
He's pretty much found what he'd set as a goal for the night, calmly walking toward the door to leave. The cooler he plays it, the better, after all. No one will know anything is wrong if you don't hint to anyone you're not meant to be somewhere, etc etc. That's the first thing he'd ever learned with stealing something - running just made it obvious that you were up to something that you shouldn't be - made you easier to track as well.
So there he is, hands tucked in his pockets and the rest, just sort of meandering his way out -
And then back at the end of the hallway again. Duo pauses, sort of takes a look around, noticing the wafting smoke at his feet. Magic was rife in this place, so it doesn't seem to unlikely, but it's still annoying as shit. He reaches back to put his hand on his gun, just in case, beginning forward (again) with a bit more caution. ]
