[There were so many ways that line could have ended but the overall implication was clear. It was a threat, issued against Iwa, on Ann's behalf.] It would have escalated. [He confirmed, though he didn't think it would be in the manner she described. Later he would have to sort out his own feelings on the matter and analyze just why he wanted to go on the offensive in this hypothetical scenario.] Heh, the professor. [Rolling his eyes] .. can you believe he wanted us to write it all down and reexamine our emotions?

[Ann was persistent and ended up getting her way, the look she shot him was one of triumph- he thought -but it was also strangely endearing. Ugh, maybe he did need his head examined] This isn't really fair since I'm not really in a position to argue with it.

I'd be better if it didn't happen at all. [Still, he was never one to dwell in the past too long- unless he had a score to settle -so he would stop pouring over the alternative scenarios that could have happened instead. He would just focus on delicious revenge] I would think after being unconscious for who knows how long, you would need sustenance more than I would. [A commentary on her eating habits? Maybe, slightly. Curry wasn't her go to though. Not sweet enough] You're acting as if I'm completely incapacitated. I'm not. I'll be able to maneuver just fine in... a .. little bit.

[Seto was glad she was born a woman and not a man but that was a whole other issue to be addressed at a more appropriate time. Maybe]

Make sure. [He repeated haughtily with a huff and a stern glare. That clearly fell into the 'it's none of your business whether I did or didn't' category and he was letting her know it. Please, don't try to visualize what might have occurred while you were absent Ann, really.] Only brainless barbarians aim for such a cheap shot. He clearly falls into that designation.

[It was effective as a tactic, but lacked class. It should be only be reserved for a desperate act when someone's life might actually be in danger.... because it is against all the codes of regular combat!]

[Having outted himself, in a sense, Kaiba huffed again and looked straight ahead to focus on the opposite wall. He did not go into detail about previous altercations with Blue. At least he had the pleasure of watching Blue retreat like a startled rabbit when Ann appeared.] I can do even better than that, hand me that pad of paper over there.. [Nodding to the side table] .. and I'll draw a diagram. [He reached into his coat and pulled out a pen, twirling it with a flourish because getting back at Blue would make his day] Oh- you could. I'm sure he'd just hand it over to you in time. [You can be pleasant to people, I can't. To that last line he smirked, appreciating that she could think and act on her own independent of her friends.] When I'm in a position to- I'll see that you're compensated for your efforts. [In whatever form that takes. This was Kaiba- showing gratitude, in the only way he knew how]

[ That much she gets, at least, and the knowledge fills her chest with a warm sensation. Granted, she's glad things didn't get to that point, at least she is now. ] Well... I mean, I see where he was coming from with that. The problem is that it really doesn't do anyone any good, because there are no laws or law enforcement to you know, do anything about that. Which, in this scenario, isn't a bad thing. [ ...Is she over analyzing life with police here? Absolutely. She's a thief, after all. ]

I think it's very fair. Besides, once I'm sure you're fine, I'll be out of your hair, so chill and enjoy your pillow fluffing. [ Yes, this is entirely fair, and she's very much enjoying herself, thanks. It's been a while since she's had anyone to take care of. ]

Agreed! But, at least it's over, right? [ His quip gets him a snort, though, and she places a hand on her hip. ] Please, I spend days in a place that's made up entirely of cognitive [ She wants to say bullshit here, but she refrains-- ] thoughts of the nastiest variety. I don't need any sort of sustenance... you, on the other hand, have not only been unconscious, but immediately had to expend energy in a brawl. [ Because she definitely didn't expend energy doing shit, okay. She was running on pure anger at that moment. ] And yes, I'm very aware that you'll be fine after a little while. But the option is here, at least, if you don't want to go out again.

[ The look he gives her has her putting both hands up in a placating gesture, because yeah, she's not going to comment on it again. It's his problem at the end of the day, and if he thinks it's fine, then, it's fine. ] I think... had the things that we'd just been through not have been so fresh, things may have turned out a little differently for both of you. I think that you were both in the wrong place at the wrong time, unfortunately.

[ Because, yes, she does feel a little guilty about jumping a stranger, especially a newbie who had clearly been confused and upset and running on his emotions. Wrong place, wrong time indeed. ]

...That bad, huh? [ Now she just looks amused, because she can't even begin to fathom what Seto and Blue have gotten to here. She's never seen either of them interact up until this point, and Blue had ducked back into his apartment before she could unleash her ungodly rage on him, too. Humming, she shifts around enough to be able to grab the pad of paper he's requested, before she hands it over to him. ] Perfect. If we can do this, he'll never even realize anything's happened to his stuff, other than he suddenly doesn't have a video of what he probably thought was a funny ordeal. [ Heaving a sigh, she moves to sit properly again, although this time she tucks her knees off to the side to sit more like a lady, at least. ] Just... feel better, and that'll be compensation enough for me, thanks.

[It wouldn't have been pretty, especially not with the mob that had gathered round. Statistically, the odds had shifted against them courtesy of all the interference. The way it ended wasn't ideal but necessary] Of course you do.. [Go on, side with the old geezer] Trying to institute order without any real authority would just be met with contention. [As she'd witnessed] .. Ideally, it will never get to the point where we truly need such an institution. [Not overly fond of the police either, since in his experience they haven't been the most useful]

[Grunting to that, he made his mild displeasure known, but he didn't inhibit her pillow fluffing further.]

A small consolation. [.. but it isn't over. Not until he says it is. This is the beginning, one small ripple radiating out from the center. Iwa will be a dead man. Metaphorically speaking. It might not seem like it, but he's noting the additional information he's receiving about the cognitive verse. It's like those gamers that get too invested in their mmos to take regular breaks.. granted more serious. The enemies the thieves faced certainly wouldn't let them call a time out to take care of their other needs.] You're so stubborn.. [One to talk.] Right. Fine. It's there in case I have a sudden hankering... [Huff]

[Her defensive stance does the trick of getting him to drop his penetrating stare, but he's none too pleased with the excuses that follow either.] I have a feeling, anywhere that guy shows up is the wrong place and the wrong time.

[Iwa totally deserved what he got, and more. Own it.]

That bad. [He affirmed. Accepting the paper and implement he takes to sketching along the top page. He's so focused on the task that he doesn't look up until it's completed. Oh, he liked the way she was thinking. The stealthy approach would protect them both from immediate retaliation. Blue would never figure out what happened to it and have no one to blame.] That would be for the best. I only lament that I won't be able to see the look on his face when he realizes it's gone. [That's pushing it though, so he won't harp on it. Passing the sketch over to her, he met her eyes with his.] I can come up with something better than just that. Don't worry about it.
