[If Kaiba has anything to say about it then they will pay dearly. He's relieved when she doesn't use this date as a platform to try and talk him out of seeking his brand of restitution.] I don't know with certainty, no. [.. and she had a point about multiple hands being more useful for such an endeavor.]
[Did you forget the winged-giraffe? If there's something that needs carrying, or hauling they've got it covered in spades. The point of this excursion however was not resource collection but terrain assessment. Unless they found something too good to pass up, he wasn't going to dedicate much runtime to the idea. Little does he know the effect his innocent gesture has on his companion as their fingers brush together. Ann was 100% correct in her assumption, he was not thinking about it the same way, his focus elsewhere.]
I guess, if you're in to that sort of thing.. [.. which he wasn't. Although he'd never tested it, he didn't think he had a green thumb. Would he even be able to keep a succulent alive? It was debatable.] There's probably a lot more things we're capable of pulling off that we're just not aware of. Either a need hasn't arisen to test it, or a hobby. [Apparently if they weren't still on that subject she'd managed to steer it back in that direction. It would have been so easy to turn the hand situation into a proper hold, but somehow she refrained and he remained oblivious.]
You and me both. [The lack of answers was going beyond irritation now. In this they would have agreed too. So much time had passed that it must have had some impact on their own worlds. At least she was able to see the humor in the claim. When she laughs, he feels himself start to smile.] No, you sure can't. [Feeling his ego swell a bit to have someone prop up his original claim. It mattered all the more because of the source more than anything. He never considered himself a people person but he did what needed to be done. He needed to know who was being gathered here to try and figure out why they were here, or how useful the others could be in a pinch. Information was necessary]
Come on Ann. It's a plant. I think I can risk it. [Normally these would be some famous last words. Still, she sounds so concerned he hesitates. Huffing he whips his jacket off and holds it in front of him like a shield. It'd break the momentum of any projectiles. Then he walks to the flowers... and.. nothing. They are just pretty flowers.] It's fine.
