Edmondia: Seth is being an amusing dork
EnsTren: amused at what?
Edmondia: the little message he wrote in Seto's bento
EnsTren: and what message was this?
Edmondia: he won't tell me
EnsTren: was it a dirty note? *nudge nudge winkwink
to seth*
Edmondia: Seth: *smirk*
Edmondia: I think that's a yes
EnsTren: heh
Edmondia: yes, and he's apparently hand-delivered it to her
office
EnsTren: hehee
EnsTren: how long is it?
Edmondia: the message?
EnsTren: yeah
Edmondia: dunno
Edmondia: think it might be a one-liner or something
EnsTren: hmn
Edmondia: ...Seth, stop smiling at the secretary
EnsTren: Seto might fire her
Edmondia: exactly, so - turning on the charm is NOT a good
idea!
Edmondia: Seto is apparently in a meeting
EnsTren: ooh?
EnsTren: is there magic on the note?
Edmondia: like how?
EnsTren: to make it tingly
Edmondia: sure
Edmondia: Seth appears to be sitting on the secretary's desk
with Seto's lunch
EnsTren: hmn...
EnsTren: secretary seeing pretty bum?
Edmondia: pretty bum or pretty tummy
Edmondia: he's just flopped back and laid down
EnsTren: heehee
Edmondia: grumbling about evil meetings from hell
Edmondia: lucky secretary
EnsTren: heee
Edmondia: especially 'cause his tanktop's riding up
EnsTren: eeee
Edmondia: ...and now he's decided to nap until hikari comes
out
Edmondia: at which time he plans to pounce her
EnsTren: heehee
Edmondia: ...uh oh
EnsTren: ?
Edmondia: in this meeting, there appears to be a handsome
young businessman whose daddy wants him to look into the
illustrious miss kaiba.
EnsTren: *snarks*
EnsTren: tell me?
EnsTren: tell me a story!
Edmondia: Uh...
EnsTren: tell me what's going on
Edmondia: Once upon a time there was a young
businessman. Let's call him Shin.
EnsTren: eee
Edmondia: Shin's daddy was veeeeeeeeeeery rich, but
Shin's daddy wanted them to be richer.
Edmondia: Shin wound up becoming involved in
KaibaCorp, and noticed that its president was very pretty.
Edmondia: Shin's daddy noticed this, and encouraged his
young son to 'go for it!'
Edmondia: Shin is presently working up the courage to ask
the illustrious Miss Kaiba out to dinner.
EnsTren: does he notice the ring?
Edmondia: he thinks it's just regular jewelry, as most girls
Seto's age wear rings on their left and right hands
Edmondia: and he'd try for her regardless
EnsTren: *snarks*
EnsTren: no rags have mentioned Seth?
Edmondia: they don't read such trash in his household
EnsTren: ah
EnsTren: heheee
Edmondia: and even if he did know, he'd consider it a
challenge
EnsTren: idiot
Edmondia: yup
Edmondia: so he's going to attempt to ask her out when the
meeting disbands
EnsTren: heheeee
Edmondia: and, of course, Seth is waiting just outside in the
other room...
Edmondia: methinks the result ought to be amusing
EnsTren: ooh?
Edmondia: "Miss Kaiba." A debonair smile. "I was
wondering if you would do me the honor of accompanying me
to din-"
"Baby, there you are!"
Edmondia: Seto froze. So did Seth. So did Shin.
Edmondia: "And who might you be?" the two men inquired
at once in the same icy tone, eyes narrowed, drawing
themselves up to their full height.
EnsTren: Seth was taller.
EnsTren: And had a better tan.
Edmondia: Shin didn't back down. "My name is Shin
Awakasi. I am a business partner of Miss Kaiba's. Perhaps
you've heard of my family? We're related to the emperor, so we
do mostly governmental work. And," his lips twisted in a smirk,
"You are...?"
EnsTren: "I'm Seth, Seto's my," sharp sharp smile as he
swollawed with darkness glinting, "Fiancee."
Edmondia: The smirk slipped away, and his eyes narrowed.
An unforseen complication, that. "I see," he said smoothly, "It
is an honor to meet the man who has won Miss Kaiba's
affections." For now.
Edmondia: He turned to look at Seto. "Congratulations on
your engagement, Miss Kaiba." Because it won't last long.
EnsTren: Seto rolled her eyes. Men, testosterone
poisoning.
EnsTren: No, you can't kill him.
Edmondia: Pretty please?
EnsTren: No. Besides, it might be amusing.
Edmondia: Amusing?
Edmondia: Shin smiled placidly. "So, Miss Kaiba, will you
consider my offer?"
EnsTren: She glanced at her fiance and a slow evil sly
smilesmirk yumminess spread across her face.
"Certainly."
Edmondia: He smiled again, more widely. "I'm delighted to
hear that, Miss Kaiba. Shall I pick you up at seven?"
EnsTren: "Eight, if you please."
Edmondia: He gave a polite bow of his head. "Of course."
EnsTren: She smiled strangely at him.
EnsTren: And nodded back.
Edmondia: He grinned. "Excellent. You've now idea of how
happy you've made me. Dress nicely, if you don't mind?"
EnsTren: Her eyes narrowed at him. The kind of
snakey venomus look she sent across the meeting room
on occasion. "As happy as I make Seth when I go out
with him, no doubt."
Edmondia: The smile slipped a little. "No doubt."
Edmondia: He bowed politely. "I'll pick you up at eight,
then."
EnsTren: She nodded and left the room, arm in arm
with her fiance.
Edmondia: Damn.
Edmondia: But at least he had a chance.
EnsTren: How are you Yami?
Edmondia: How do you THINK I am?!
EnsTren: Jealous?
Edmondia: YES!
EnsTren: Hikari giggled like sunlight though glass and
shattering on the floor.
Edmondia: He squeezed her. What are you doing, flirting
like that?
EnsTren: I'm not flirting.
Edmondia: Then what are you doing?
EnsTren: Flirting implies I'm trying to get his
attention. She leaned against him and kissed his cheek.
EnsTren: I think his antics might provide
enertainment.
Edmondia: Then what are you doing? he pouted.
EnsTren: Arranging for live entertainment.
Edmondia: But he smiled at you!
EnsTren: So?
Edmondia: I don't like it!
EnsTren: Why?
Edmondia: Because he thinks he has a chance. He sulked.
EnsTren: But you and I know he doesn't.
Edmondia: Doesn't stop me from being jealous.
EnsTren: Heehee.
Edmondia: Hey!
EnsTren: ...You're going to help me pick out what to
wear, and do my makeup.
Edmondia: ...I am?
EnsTren: Yes. And when I get back from the
disgusting date you can take off my clothing and
help me wash up.
Edmondia: ...can you skip the whole date thing and just do
that?
EnsTren: No.
EnsTren: Jealousy will make you work harder.
Edmondia: Oh? He flashed her a saucy smile. At what?
EnsTren: Me.
Edmondia: Hmph. He licked her cheek. I still want to throw
him out a window, though.
EnsTren: No.
Edmondia: He pouted. Well you're dressing in pants! So
there!
EnsTren: All right.
Edmondia: And no low-cut tops!
Edmondia: And nothing that shows your shoulders!
EnsTren: All right, elegant.
Edmondia: Elegant, nun's habit, same thing really...
EnsTren: She elbowed him.
EnsTren: I'll go on a date with you.
Edmondia: You'll get in the society pages for going out with
him.
EnsTren: Oh?
Edmondia: People notice these things. He sulked. And all
the respectable newspapers will write about your romance
with this... mortal.
EnsTren: Hah.
Edmondia: What? They will! He's all rich and in good
standing in society. Even the rags will think I'm just your
boytoy!
EnsTren: He's the boy toy.
EnsTren: You can take me out to someplace nicer.
EnsTren: And you're the one living with me.
Edmondia: They'll think you're using me for one thing and
him for another.
EnsTren: ...You're the one that will be on my arm for
balls.
Edmondia: Hmph. I still don't like it.
EnsTren: What will they think of you then?
Edmondia: That I'm good in the sack.
Edmondia: And prettier.
Edmondia: Or that you either can't make up your mind or
like playing the tease.
EnsTren: I am playing a tease, teasing him.
Edmondia: Hmph.
Edmondia: Betcha they'll think he gave you the rock.
EnsTren: Bah.
EnsTren: Then you'll have to make yourself look
better.
Edmondia: How? I don't have a job, I don't have a family, I
don't legally exist, and oh, there's that tiny detail about me
being DEAD.
EnsTren: Go out with me more.
EnsTren: And... well, I'm in the process of taking care
of the details.
Edmondia: I'll go out with you anywhere, baby, he purred,
You know that already.
EnsTren: Don't worry, I'll be a cold fish to him.
Edmondia: And when we go out tomorrow you'll be nice?
Edmondia: He poked her. A... warm fish?
EnsTren: Your kitty.
EnsTren: Meow.
Edmondia: Does that mean I get to molest you in public?
EnsTren: NO!
EnsTren: What would the papers say then?
Edmondia: ...that I'm a slut?
Edmondia: Which, mind, is what they'd be thinking anyway.
EnsTren: But if I let you?
Edmondia: They would already think that that was why you
kept me around.
EnsTren: But what would they think of me?
Edmondia: That you kept me around for sex.
EnsTren: What would they think if we were
respectable?
Edmondia: They'd think we made a cute couple.
Edmondia: And that you were being horrible by teasing that
other boy.
EnsTren: Heehee!
EnsTren: That's what I want.
Edmondia: Just so long as you made it clear that we were
together.
EnsTren: Yes.
Edmondia: Hopefully they won't think you're two-timing me.
EnsTren: Heh.
Edmondia: And make it clear that I am not JUST the guy
who cleans the pool.
EnsTren: What?!
Edmondia: What what?
EnsTren: Why would I make you look like that?
Edmondia: Isn't it commonly assumed that the lady of the
house is having an affair with the hunky pool-cleaner?
EnsTren: I've not been openly female for a while.
EnsTren: If anyone asks, I'm just amusing myself
with him.
Edmondia: That makes you sound a bit wicked, baby.
EnsTren: Aren't I?
EnsTren: Say... I'm just letting him wear out his
ardor while attempting to make you feel jealous.
Edmondia: It's working. Defenestration is a lovely word,
isn't it darling?
EnsTren: Yes, but you can't push him out the
window.
EnsTren: You can't hurt him, period.
Edmondia: Why not?
EnsTren: Cause.
Edmondia: You know, back home I could've had him killed
for looking at you twice.
EnsTren: Ooh?
Edmondia: And have his carcass tossed into the desert.
EnsTren: Mnn... You're so romantic.
Edmondia: I could have set his home on fire, too.
EnsTren: Oh?
Edmondia: And slaughtered his lifestock. He grinned
wickedly at her.
EnsTren: We could have a feast?
Edmondia: Of course. In celebration of our family.
EnsTren: On his livestock?
Edmondia: I would be protecting my wife from this obvious
deviant, would I not?
Edmondia: Should not his family pay for his crime?
EnsTren: Heehee... You should be thankful, then, that I
would refuse to wear see-through things, ne?
Edmondia: Hmn... perhaps. You'd wear them for me,
wouldn't you?
EnsTren: I'd wear nothing for you, yami mine. By the
by, what last name do you want?
Edmondia: ...Kaiba.
EnsTren: ...I meant legally, I'm hacking the
govermental computers. You can't be a Kaiba.
EnsTren: At least not until you marry me.
Edmondia: Again. And I don't know, I've never had a last
name before.
EnsTren: Hmn...Kikira? Seth Kikira.
Edmondia: What's that mean?
EnsTren: No idea, I just tried to make Kkwy Ra more
pronouncable.
Edmondia: But it is pronouncable.
Edmondia: And I like that name. He kissed her nose.
EnsTren: She kissed his nose. I'm glad you're not
going off on blasphemy. I'm glad you like it. "And if
you think Kkwy Ra is pronouncable repeat after me,"
she switched to English, "The rain in Spain falls mainly on
the plain."
Edmondia: I was a god for a while. He shrugged. "The...
wain?"
EnsTren: She kissed his nose, You were? Oh,
pharaoh, right. And see? If you can't pronounce that
how do you expect others to pronounce Kkwy?
Edmondia: Hmph. He kissed her nose in return. Still, it
sounds odd.
EnsTren: How does this sound then: I love you.
Edmondia: I like that one. He hooked his fingers into her
pockets. Who'd have thought you could be so
after-school-tv-special romantic?
EnsTren: Bah.
Edmondia: Bah? He nuzzled her. Why are you bah-ing at
me?
EnsTren: I'm not acting like an
after-school-tv-special romance.
Edmondia: ...we'd probably horribly horribly scar those
innocent little children...
EnsTren: She kissed him and nibbled on his ear.
Edmondia: He purred. Unless they're like your brother, that
is.
EnsTren: My brother has a filthy mouth, doesn't he?
Edmondia: He does.
Edmondia: He wriggled his fingers along the edge of her
shirt. And he runs a gang.
EnsTren: Come on, I want to call Anzu and Mai and
go out shopping.
Edmondia: To dress you up pretty for the date with the
asshole?
EnsTren: Yes. But that's just an excuse.
Edmondia: ...do we get to go lingerie shopping?
EnsTren: Yes.
Edmondia: ...okay, let's go shopping.
EnsTren: She giggled and used her cell.
Edmondia: He rubbed his fingertips along her tummy. We
cover this up too.
EnsTren: Yes, I'm not going to dress like a slut.
Edmondia: Showing one's tummy does not make you a slut.
EnsTren: It does if he's taking me to a nice
resturant.
Edmondia: ...we're going to a nicer one, right?
EnsTren: Yes.
Edmondia: ...will you wear a dress?
EnsTren: No.
EnsTren: For you, yes. For him, no.
Edmondia: He tweaked her nose. I meant for me. You're
wearing pants tonight.
EnsTren: Yes.
Edmondia: He grinned. Good, I found a pretty dress for you
the other day. And tonight... head-to-toe coverage.
EnsTren: I agree.
Edmondia: Good. He nuzzled her again. Keep your hair
down, I don't want him seeing your neck.
EnsTren: I'll dress as if it's a business dinner, does
that make you happy?
EnsTren: And what's so alluring about my neck?
Edmondia: He nipped at it to demonstrate. Yes. And... it's
pretty.
EnsTren: You say that about everything about me
and I don't understand it.
Edmondia: But you are pretty. Guys notice all sorts of things
about pretty girls.
EnsTren: Mrreew...
Edmondia: ? He gave her an experimental lick.
EnsTren: Prrrr.
Edmondia: ...and if anyone ever found out about the noises
you make when someone pays attention to your pretty neck, I'd have to kill them very quickly.
EnsTren: Why?
Edmondia: My noises. He nibbled.
EnsTren: Mew?
Edmondia: Just like that. He switched to sucking.
Kitty-mine noises.
EnsTren: Then what are my noises?
Edmondia: What do you want them to be?
EnsTren: I'm asking you.
Edmondia: But I don't know what kind of noises I make.
EnsTren: She bit him under his ear.
Edmondia: He gave a little groaning purr.
Edmondia: Was that a you-noise?
EnsTren: I guess.
EnsTren: You're mine.
Edmondia: Mmmhmm.
Edmondia: He nipped at her throat again. All yours, baby.
EnsTren: ...I want an orgasm before we go out
shopping.
Edmondia: Hm? Why?
Edmondia: He slid his fingers downwards. Just for fun?
EnsTren: Yes.
Edmondia: Okay. And he promptly undid her pants. I'm
nothing if not compliant to my lady's wishes.
EnsTren: And they were quiet for a time after that.
Edmondia: It was a nice time.
EnsTren: So she went shopping with a big smile.
Edmondia: It was fun.
Edmondia: So was trying on lingerie.
EnsTren: Which Seth was enjoying.
Edmondia: She liked that.
EnsTren: Mai was suggesting a black teddy.
Edmondia: Hmn. It was pretty.
EnsTren: ...Were those snap buttons in the crotch?
Edmondia: ...yami could undo buttons with his teeth.
Edmondia: This had possibilities.
EnsTren: She bought it!
Edmondia: She felt very proud of herself for that.
EnsTren: She considered wearing it under the suit
tonight.
Edmondia: That would be very wicked.
EnsTren: And that decided it for her.
Edmondia: Her yami had a very very evil smirk on.
EnsTren: So did she.
Edmondia: This was going to be fun.
EnsTren: Should she let her Yami hitch hike in her head
during the date?
Edmondia: Pretty please?
EnsTren: You can't do anything, and no speaking
unless spoken to.
Edmondia: Aww...
Edmondia: I just wanna throw him out a window, it's not
anything bad.
EnsTren: No.
EnsTren: ...Yami. You mentioned before, how you
think you act the way you do because you never used
your shadow powers for a penalty, right?
Edmondia: Mmmhmm.
EnsTren: So what... what would happen if you did?
Edmondia: I... don't know.
EnsTren: ...That frightens me, Yami.
EnsTren: She clenched her hands together.
Edmondia: Baby... I'd still be me. He touched her cheek. I'd
still love you.
EnsTren: But you'd be frightening.
Edmondia: Aren't I now? he questioned softly, running his
thumb along her lips.
EnsTren: Not dark frightening.
Edmondia: Like cousin?
EnsTren: When he's angry, yes.
Edmondia: And you think I'd be like that?
EnsTren: I think you could be a frightening person.
Edmondia: ...I suppose, at one point in time, I was.
EnsTren: HIkari was leaning into him and shivering.
Edmondia: He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her
closer. You made me better, I think.
EnsTren: ???
Edmondia: He nuzzled his lips against her ear. You made me
better.
EnsTren: But... the shadows...
Edmondia: What of them?
EnsTren: You could be scary.
Edmondia: ...I am a shadow child, he admitted, It sort of
comes with the territory.
EnsTren: But you aren't shadowy now.
Edmondia: ?
EnsTren: You... You've never been lost in them.
Edmondia: ...not recently, no. I have you.
EnsTren: And I make you not.
Edmondia: Mmmhmm. Your soul is very bright.
EnsTren: Why do you say this?
Edmondia: Because it is.
EnsTren: Kind yami.
Edmondia: You keep me sane, he murmured, and kissed her
cheek.
Edmondia: You needn't worry about losing me to the
Darkness.
EnsTren: But... scariness.
Edmondia: How would I scare you?
EnsTren: Hikari showed him. Hikari had no good
memories about the Shadows, except for him.
EnsTren: Yugi embraced cousin. Madness, death. But
despite everything, Hikari still expected people to play
fair, was still surprised and horrified when people
threatened the lives of others.
Edmondia: The Shadows play fairly, my love. He kissed her
nose. They will not harm you.
EnsTren: Frightening!
Edmondia: They are... but they're also very comforting. He
let his fingers drift through her hair. Don't worry about me, my
love.
EnsTren: She was shivering and curled up.
Edmondia: Baby? He squeezed her.
EnsTren: Frightening.
Edmondia: Look at me, baby. I'm as free from the Darkness
as I can possibly be.
EnsTren: But if you do a Shadow game, a batsu
game.
Edmondia: I won't.
EnsTren: ...Thank you.
Edmondia: I can kill him the normal way.
EnsTren: No.
EnsTren: Killing was bad.
Edmondia: Hmph. He kissed her nose. Can I suck out his
ka?
EnsTren: No.
Edmondia: Make nasty faces?
EnsTren: That would make you look bad to the
papers.
Edmondia: ...act all frigid and proper as befitting my true
station?
EnsTren: Yes.
Edmondia: ...that's less fun.
EnsTren: Heh.
Edmondia: Hmph. He nipped at her nose. I'm gonna show
him up tomorrow.
EnsTren: Oh?
Edmondia: I'm prettier, he said simply.
EnsTren: Heh. Yes.
Edmondia: And much sexier.
EnsTren: Yes.
Edmondia: He flashed her a dazzling smile. And I happen to
be madly in love with you.
EnsTren: Yes!
Edmondia: So I'm better.
EnsTren: Yes.
Edmondia: And everyone will know it.
EnsTren: Yes.
Edmondia: I was a god, you know.
EnsTren: Oh? Tell me about it. An indulgant smile.
Edmondia: It was fun. I got to order people around... well,
more people...
Edmondia: There were dancing girls.
EnsTren: Ohhh? I hope you appreciated them for
their artistic value.
Edmondia: ...they were pretty boring.
Edmondia: Will you dance for me?
EnsTren: Hikari turned the prettiest pink ever.
Edmondia: He beamed.
Edmondia: Is that a yes?
EnsTren: I don't know how to!
Edmondia: You know how to dance, baby.
EnsTren: She was such a pretty pink.
Edmondia: Pretty please? He brushed his thumb over her
lower lip again. I'll dance for you...
EnsTren: What would I wear?
Edmondia: A skirt and halter top.
EnsTren: ...I don't think they wore those back then.
Edmondia: I'm approximating. A linen kilt wrapped around
the hips, and something to hold the preciouses.
EnsTren: Hikari licked him.
Edmondia: He purred. Mrowr?
EnsTren: I'll try. But later.
Edmondia: Thanks, baby. He kissed her nose. You make me
feel special.
EnsTren: To make up for this date.
Edmondia: The fact that you're wearing underwear that I
can unsnap with my teeth is also very nice.
EnsTren: I like the idea too.
Edmondia: It'll keep me from going nuts while you're out
with the asshole.
EnsTren: She chuckled.
Edmondia: The only reason I'm not practically turning green
is that I get to undress you at the end.
EnsTren: Only you.
Edmondia: My wife, he purred, and nuzzled her throat.
Mineminemine.
EnsTren: She purred. Yours.
Edmondia: My preciouses.
EnsTren: Yes.
Edmondia: He nuzzled them. Aishiteru.
EnsTren: Forever.
Edmondia: He tilted his head up and smiled at her. You're
beautiful.
EnsTren: Thank you.
Edmondia: Pretty. He snuggled closer. Pretty-mine.
EnsTren: Always and only.
Edmondia: Love you.
EnsTren: "I know."
Edmondia: "I still want to tell you."
EnsTren: "Okay."
Edmondia: "I love you."
EnsTren: She laughed and brought him home.
Edmondia: He lounged on their bed while she got ready for
her "date."
EnsTren: She was wearing the teddy underneath.
Edmondia: He gave her a whistle for that.
EnsTren: She laughed softly as she pulled her pants up
past her hips.
Edmondia: He watched her raptly. "All that lovely skin...
hidden from the view of dickweeds."
EnsTren: She giggled.
Edmondia: "I'm going to enjoy taking those clothes off.
They'll get ass-germs on them."
EnsTren: "I'll enjoy you taking them off."
Edmondia: He flashed her a sultry smile. "I'm delighted to
hear that, love."
EnsTren: "Manwhore."
Edmondia: He purred at her. "Absolutely."
EnsTren: "But only mine."
Edmondia: "Of course."
Edmondia: He rolled onto his tummy and propped his chin on
his hands. "You have a cute butt."
EnsTren: I do?
Edmondia: "Yup."
Edmondia: "Squeezable."
EnsTren: She tried to look at it.
Edmondia: He reached over and effectively demonstrated his
point.
EnsTren: Hikari squeaked.
Edmondia: "See? Squeezable!"
EnsTren: Yes Yami.
Edmondia: He leaned over and kissed the small of her back.
"Pretty."
EnsTren: Thank you.
Edmondia: He kissed her again. "Mine."
EnsTren: Yes, but not your date.
Edmondia: "I'm trying not to think about that irksome little
detail."
EnsTren: She laughed.
Edmondia: He pinched her.
EnsTren: She danced away.
Edmondia: He blew her a raspberry.
EnsTren: She disappeared to finish dressing.
Edmondia: He rolled back onto the bed and continued
sulking.
EnsTren: You going to be in my head or not?
Edmondia: Do you want me there?
EnsTren: Do you want to?
Edmondia: I want to be there to make sure if he looks at you
wrong that you proceed to break his legs in fifteen places.
And then castrate him with a butter knife.
EnsTren: ...No.
Edmondia: ...drat.
EnsTren: She put on her shirt, and if you really really
looked you could see the teddy through it. Her coat went
on over it.
Edmondia: Coat is good!
EnsTren: Heh.
Edmondia: The teddy is MINE.
EnsTren: Yes, and you are mine.
Edmondia: Yes. All yours.
EnsTren: She licked his cheek and went downstairs to
wait for him, reading a book.
Edmondia: He arrived promptly on time, bearing a rose,
dressed in a crisp suit.
EnsTren: She accepted the rose and put it in a waiting
vase. She watched him, judging his reaction to her
dressed as usual, as a male.
Edmondia: His expression faltered a bit, but he gallently
offered his arm.
EnsTren: She weighed the options. Take his arm or
brush him off? She stepped outside.
EnsTren: She decided to act as if she were not having
close relations with anyone. It was all too easy to
remember how she used to be. She cast her eyes to the
car.
Edmondia: Shin cleared his throat and opened the door for
her.
EnsTren: She nodded her head at him and slipped into
the car.
Edmondia: He tried to make small talk while they drove.
"You... erm, look nice tonight, Miss Kaiba."
EnsTren: "Thank you."
EnsTren: She was aware she was presented an odd
picture. Dressed at a man, but obviously female and
wearing makeup.
Edmondia: He gave a little self-depricating laugh. "Um, I
hope you don't think I'm being foolish, but I have to say I'm a
bit uncertain of what to talk about. I'm afraid I don't really know
anything about you."
EnsTren: An arch look. "I don't see why, after all I am
highly publicized. I like Duel Monsters, and I have a
younger brother. And it would be a fair guess from
the public's point of view that I like science as well."
Edmondia: He smiled. "Yes, I know about that... but very
little is known about you personally."
EnsTren: "Isn't that the point of dating?"
Edmondia: "That is why I asked you to dinner, yes."
EnsTren: She nodded.
Edmondia: "Have you dated much before?"
EnsTren: "Like this? No. Recall my circumstances if
you will."
Edmondia: "And your... fiance?"
EnsTren: She smiled suddenly and dreamily, eyes
unfocused. "Seth," the cover story was that they met
during Battle City, and that he had worked with Isis. In fact, she
was in the process of setting up the cover story--Seth
would mess with memories later. "I met him during
Battle City."
Edmondia: "He was a participant?"
EnsTren: "He could have been, but no. He came with a few other
competitors and helped me out with an illegal entrant."
Edmondia: "Ah. And you've been dating since then?"
EnsTren: "No, it was a few months before we truly
came together. He currently lives in my home while he's in
Japan."
Edmondia: Shin gritted his teeth. "I see."
Edmondia: "Where is he from originally?"
EnsTren: "Egypt."
Edmondia: "My, he's far from home. Doesn't he miss his
family?"
EnsTren: "He only has Mokuba and I, and his cousin,
who is also here in Japan."
Edmondia: Shin glared out the window. "Oh, we've
arrived," he said smoothly, swiftly changing the subject. "Shall
we?"
EnsTren: "Please."
EnsTren: (hehee, two questions)
EnsTren: (three really)
Edmondia: (k)
EnsTren: (is he or is he not aware of the tapes Seto
released)
Edmondia: (he is)
EnsTren: (Did he see them?)
Edmondia: (yup)
EnsTren: (I suspect he's not making a connection)
EnsTren: (Should we let him notice the teddy?)
Edmondia: (he's too polite to mention it)
Edmondia: (and heh, maybe)
EnsTren: (hehee)
EnsTren: (evil, let him think it's for him and Seth greets
Seto when she comes home)
Edmondia: (hehehe)
Edmondia: (nai)
