As the unusual hue started to reflect off of the rocky corridor, Kaiba's initial thoughts were 'who or what is that?'. He momentarily stopped what he was doing in order to focus on her approach. Somehow seeing her in her entirety didn't really clue him in anymore than the lighting had.

He refrained from his usual abrasiveness since she had arrived- strangely enough- at precisely the right time. Help was something, he did in fact require. "Funny you should ask.." Though he wasn't sure what her capabilities might be. Beggars, couldn't be choosers but they could be escorted of your premises if you have a security detail. Kaiba no.

"I could actually..." Then he chose his words carefully before proceeding. "I've actually explored this region before, but there are some among us that find the terrain too arduous to navigate, not to mention the prospect of who might appear in the future. I'm trying to see to it that will no longer be an issue." Okay- so.. that sounded more charitable than he wanted to but judging from her upbeat tone, it might be the most effective.
