Turing had been so focused on what they were doing that Kaiba's sudden appearance made them jump. To say they were not pleased to see Kaiba was an understatement; their initial meeting was still too fresh in Turing's mind. With that in mind, those words of acknowledgement were understandably not what Turing expected.

"...Thank you."

They may have gotten off on the wrong foot, but that was no reason to be rude, after all.

"I appreciate your words."

They couldn't help but internally brace themselves for the words that might come next. Or maybe that trepidation was more the result of getting caught. Regardless, they weren't rushing off just yet.
