Somehow, I think you'll be able to find the strength within to do it. [ For a few minutes, at least. And she's right. She does look relieved when he agrees -- and really, he's probably right, there's probably very little to worry about. But old habits die hard, and she won't dare take that chance. ] Thank you, Kaiba-san. I appreciate it, and yeah... I know you're right. I just... wanna make sure. My associates are around here somewhere, too, so...
[ ...She wants to make sure that they're taken care of, too.
She's not an idiot, she can feel his eyes lingering on her long before she bothers to glance back over at him, and she's glad for the red tint that this place naturally carries, because she can feel her face heating up with the slightest amount of embarrassment as she, too, glances off to the side. If that were anyone else, she might have made a comment on it -- but for some reason, when Kaiba looks at her like that? She realizes that she doesn't mind.
Best not to linger on that right now. ]
No, not quite... I'd rather take care of that business at home. Because I have a lot of that, both in Menentos and outside of it, apparently. [ She won't elaborate on that, either, because it doesn't matter. What does matter is making sure that Seto is taken somewhere relatively safer than this. ] If your dragon is that powerful, I can't imagine what else you've got up your sleeve...
[ Because that big ass dragon caused a lot of destruction in a very short amount of time. She hopes his dragon isn't like Carmen, though, in that it drains him every time he uses it... ]
Yeah, they're real fun. [ Except when they're not, like this. ] Thanks. So, here's the plan: I'm going to try and get you up a few layers, because while there are threats above, it's usually a lot less intense, and you should be good then. Once that's done, I'm going down to the last level on my own.
[ Because knowing Ren and Akechi, those two are down there as she speaks. And she knows that they're headed that way, she's got the text messages to prove it. Her eyes widen again as he mentions three dragons, though. ]

Three? That must be quite the firepower!
