I guess, but... you know how he is. [ He can be snippy, although he's toned it down with her for the most part, fortunately. Granted, it doesn't mean she isn't worried. ] I guess I just can't see how someone like him would want to tolerate someone like me.

[ Because they're polar opposites, and she knows it, too. And as far as she's concerned, he's leagues above her. ]

It's a little dumb... I just feel like I shouldn't get my hopes up too much.

[forethinking]

I don't think he'd spend so much time with you if he didn't.

(Ren sees her words as the exact point as to why she needn't worry. Thank God he can't read minds, though.)

You'll be fine.

(After all, Kaiba seems the sort of person who wouldn't tolerate anything if he wasn't for it. The fact that he was insistent is telling in itself.)

[menaretrash]

...Maybe.

[ Glancing off to the side again, she sighs. This 'dating' shit is too complicated... ]

I guess... we'll find out. It doesn't really matter in the big scheme of things, anyways. If something happens and we get to go home...

[ ...Then it's pointless, isn't it? ]

[forethinking]

Then at least you tried.

(And Ren too glances, too shortly to be noticed before he sighs.)

That's how I am seeing things.

(Because when he goes home, Akechi might not be there for long. It's not pointless - at least they've had it when they could. He wishes she could see things that way as well.)

....

[ Ah, that's right. Ann reaches out to take both of Ren's hands in her own, and she gives them a gentle squeeze. ]

Then, I guess we'll have to make the time we do have here the very best we can, right?

[forethinking]

That's the spirit.

(He's not upset. He's just glad that they could have it, so he just gives Ann a smile and a gentle pet to her hair.)
