It's not going to be easy- but there's nothing I can't manage. [Precisely that. We're talking minutes, not hours. Kaiba really didn't have any room to talk, since usually he was the one taking the unnecessary precautions and acting paranoid. What she was requesting was much more reasonable] ... Does that mean I have to refer to them with ridiculous names too? [ At least those he could have some fun with should he run across the others. He could provide the nicknames himself and they likely wouldn't be at all kind or flattering BUT they would conceal their true identities!]
[Somewhat ironically, he minded it more than she did. Not accustomed to being the oogling type he honestly didn't think he had it in him and he found the development alarming. If he hadn't wanted to completely bury the incident he might have even apologized for it but without her openly drawing attention to it he assumed himself to be in the clear. That didn't make it right, but it made it ignorable.]
Not the divide and conquer type? [Since there was the slightest chance that defeating some enemies here would lessen them in her own dimension.] You have no idea. [Pleased by that fact since he preferred having the element of surprise.]
[Thankfully, that didn't appear to be the case. Then again with Seto, you know he would try to mask his weakness if it did]
[That's a strange way to spell out 'they're never fun'.] ... [As he listened to her speak he couldn't help getting offended.] Deferring to your judgment was not a code phrase for 'treat me like a small child'. I thought we were falling back as a strategic maneuver to regroup and pool resources. I didn't realize it was intended to ditch me in a safe zone. [Stopping abruptly and wheeling on her because this was clearly the best time to argue]
... And you want to sideline that fire power when you already know what they're capable of! [LOOK- he didn't want to volunteer to play hero, but he didn't like the assumption that he would be content standing aside and letting others take that glory for themselves..]
