Kaiba wasn't known for being patient or having an overly sympathetic ear so there was little wonder why Parsee wasn't so enthused to see him during her crisis. Personally, he would have agreed with that unspoken sentiment as well. He often used anger or irritation to keep himself focused and it was preferable to less desirable emotions.

At the expelling of additional flowers, he took a step back as if he was afraid of getting something on him. Truthfully, he was. Having expected something more grotesque than foliage he both felt relieved and confused. He said the first thing that came to mind. "Normally I wouldn't question your eating habits, but now that sufficient alternatives are available I don't know why you keep experimenting..."

Look- it was an honest mistake. Parsee did like to test the peculiarities of this world, and he just... kinda... assumed it was related. From context, it wasn't.

"Force your hand? What do you mean?"

"You're a laugh a minute, mister comedian," she muttered acridly right before she realized that he didn't know. Well, she'd heard it was a recent urban rumor, not like some of the older ones like spontaneous combustion. No surprise that the crazy immortal had taken that one up. None at all. "I didn't eat anything weird."

Frowning, she brought her hand up to block the next petaled cough, finding a tree to rest against for some support. Did she tell him? Did she pretend it wasn't happening? It wasn't like confessing to him would do a lick of good. He'd know exactly why this was happening real quickly. He wasn't that stupid.

"It's a magic disease. Don't worry... it's not catching. Damnit..." She tried shaking her head before she winced. Nope, nope, that hurt. "Hanahaki... It's hitting because I'm keeping feelings botted up. And I don't like being forced to deal with my feelings. You should know that."
