I've already told you, arrangements like this work best in secret-- not to mention that there's no guarantee either of us would survive. We don't yet know what might happen.
[He's not saying he wouldn't consider it conceptually, though, so Hisoka can take that as he will.]
Ah, I can keep secrets. [He has a lot of them.] But it would be stupid to pair ourselves, you know. If someone tried to get rid of one of us, the other would be in trouble.

Oh. What if you did it. Your elaborate plan to have me all to yourself. So you kill my partner, and you plan to frame yours.
[It's cursed Shirasu put him in a better mood?]
