[As long as it buys him time to get behind closed doors, then fine
Seto was essentially like a wounded animal right now, and lashing out with his verbal claws. She was being very understanding about the whole thing.] Heh- you can say that without knowing the whole story? You don't know for sure- I could have been the instigator. [Although he would later insist to the contrary.] ... [When her statement about being sorry rolled off her lips, he went suddenly silent. It felt peculiar some how to hear. Granted, Ann was in the habit of apologizing needlessly but somehow this seemed more genuine and it stunned him.] You would have destroyed that coward. He's below your level.
[Was that the hint of a smile? Just envisioning her wailing on Iwa was a pleasant thought]
Nothing else. What, are you thinking about fetching takeout and coming over for a few hours to make sure I wasn't lying about my condition?
[He's kidding. Feeling her slip free, he resumes moving under his own power. Missing the warmth of her embrac- it wasn't an embrace! It was just.... some.. assistance.]
You don't need to go that far, I can get into bed myself. [If he so chose to do so.] You and me both. It would be endlessly useful.. not just for this, but in general.
[When they reached his apartment, he got the door open and walked inside.]
