Cleo nodded. "Aye, disappear." She grinned happily. It was brilliant! She hadn't revealed that she was a Klepto, or a thief, yet still told the truth. It was perfect, simply perfect.
Then, after he spaced out for a while, he finally looked behind him. Cleo was beginning to wonder whether she would simply sit there all day staring in horror behind him, waiting for him to react. But, no! He fell for the oldest trick in the book.
At the exact instant that Taikii's eyes reverted behind him, Cleo's hand shot out. With perfected speed, she grabbed his can of pop, and hid it in her open messenger bag. Then the flap was whisked over the bag's top, making the item hidden from view. Before he had looked back around, she was back in the same position as before, not showing any sign of movement. "Oh, n-nothing!" She stuttered out innocently, "I j-just thought I s-s-s-saw something!" She gasped out. "It's gone now, I hope." She bit her lip, looking fearful.

The thief is sorry he is to be caught, not that he is a thief
I'm not sorry at all.
