That was a private conversation. [ Kaiba expelled a breath, dropping his arms to his sides before taking a step towards the smaller robot. He stopped short when he recalled the protective nature of Legion.] That's what's been bothering you this whole time? .. And instead of addressing it yourself, you've employed the aide of someone else. Pathetic. [Currently not caring if he hurt his own position further] What a cowardly move.
[Then he directed the following to Legion ]
No I don't plan to make good on my threat, because there's obviously a defect with this unit. [Meaning Turing ] .. and I wouldn't want to risk it infecting my own systems.
[Tilting his head he went so far as to sneer at Legion ] .. but in your case you simply won't know since despite my not having lifted a finger to disassemble either one of you, I guess I'm wholly untrustworthy [there was bitterness mixed into his words as if they might well be venomous, the odd sense of betrayal seeping into his response. Did he have any active designs on studying Legion, no. Did it matter? Apparently not, since an implication was enough to erase everything else. Kaiba would be lying if he said he wasn't disappointed ]
At least one of us can keep his mouth shut, I'd hate to think how certain recollections could have been used against you out of spite. [ A not so gentle reminder to Legion, that Kaiba had not shared the personal memory of the robot's with anyone, nor would he. Ie. It was a proverbial twisting of the knife, as he turned in a huff, his audacious coat swirling about him as he did so. ] .. but don't let me interrupt your work, you've clearly made your choice, and now... So have I. [He'd sooner end things himself then leave that option up to the other party. After everything they had been through- worked in cooperation on, well... Kaiba just hadn't foreseen this outcome. It was just one incident in a long list of reminders not to place trust in anyone or anything.]
