[ She can't tell if Kaiba is impressed or irritated, which is something pretty impressive all on its own, she thinks. She's pretty good at seeing straight through to how people are feeling, but in this moment she can't help but wonder if he hasn't quite decided on what his feelings about the situation even are.

Perhaps something to ask him about later. For now, she just shoots him an amused smile as he starts sassing her about her choice to feed the creature and his lack of a weapon. ]

Are you always this grumpy towards people who help you?

[ The creature still isn't moving, but she leaves the piece of meat there for it anyway, ignoring his words. Considering it just tried to take a chunk out of him, she has a feeling it will be appreciated in the long run, when it wakes up. Instead, she looks around them - a quick glance draws her attention to a metal pipe lodged in one of the trash piles, and she points at it, shrugging her shoulders. ]

I'm not saying it has to be something special. Even a pipe like that one would work, right? You just have to be able to defend yourself.

[ Her smile broadens, the girl folding her arms over her shoulders. ]

Unless, you know, you'd just prefer for me to hang out here with you and protect you when they come.

[ Rinoa already knows what his answer is going to be, of course. Her words aren't even a serious offer, not really - she just wants to see his reaction. ]
