I know how you are, Mr. Kaiba, I've been victim to your snark before, too. [ She sounds... a little more than amused, too, honestly. She reaches up to lightly pat his shoulder, heaving a sigh. ] I do have that much confidence in you. You're not stupid, you're not going to attack someone when words can sting worse than a punch sometimes. I just can't see you needlessly throwing a punch at someone. [ Because he is smarter than that, and sometimes, intelligence and wit is all a person needs in a fight. ] That's nice of you to say, but... [ Now she feels like she's been put on the spot a little bit. She's quiet for a few moments longer, trying to kick her brain into gear.
Maybe it's the adrenaline that's still coursing through her veins that's giving her more courage speak up, but she's taking advantage of it while she can. ] I care about you a lot. More... than I think you'll ever realize. So, yeah... it really scared me to see you like that. I was really worried that he'd done something really bad to you.
[ Not that what happened wasn't fucked up. Probably. She's still convinced he got punched in the stomach, but she's just grateful that's all. ]
No? Good to know. Food and ice it is... and maybe some coffee, if I can balance it all.
[ Because, yes, she'd be very grateful to be able to sit here and keep an eye on him for a little while longer so long as he'll allow it. ]
...I wouldn't want you to. What I want you to do is just hang out here and relax. [ She shifts a little bit. ] ...I know you don't want to tell me what happened, and that's okay. As long as you're not like, dying on me... then you don't have to say anything.
[ There's that sarcasm of his. She smiles and sticks her tongue out at him. ] Good, stay put, and I'll be back.
[ And that's all she has left to say as she leaves. She's got quite a few tasks ahead of her, tasks that she plans on fulfilling even if it kills her. She's gone for a while, too -- because true to her word, when she does come back, she's balancing a whole lot in her arms. She's got an entire pillowcase filled with ice from the cafe, along with some curry she's not sure he'll like or not, but food is food and who knows, maybe he'll enjoy it.
She's also got a second pillow under her arm. She barely manages to knock before she lets herself in and shuts the door quietly with her foot, quickly moving to carefully set the items she's brought down. ]
Sorry it took so long, I made a pit stop back to my place. I thought maybe I had some ibuprofen or something in my bag from home, but I didn't... I'm sorry. I brought you an extra pillow, though, and as much ice as I could grab. [ You know, before Ren came back. She doesn't feel like bumping into him again just yet, thanks. ]
