ANNOUNCEMENT 004

[intercom_voice]

[Bet you all missed hearing from the lovely lady over the intercom, yes? No? Well too bad, because she's making her scheduled announcement right now, as indicated by the screeching of intercom feed.]

I do hope you're all enjoying the fresh air. I know how stir crazy some of you have been getting. A little fun in the sun never hurt anyone. Maybe now we can cut down on the property damage, hm? [Her tone darkens a bit.] And the fires.

You're welcome.

[Because clearly she's doing all of you a favor!]

And remember, don't spend all your time taking in the sun. You have studies to get to! "Only the educated are free"~

[The announcement ends.]

Don't insult him, Pegasus. [Kaiba warns, glancing over at the other man.] Mokuba can handle himself just fine. He did so for six months.

[...But right, back to the laptop.]

If I had a second camera, I could improve it...but none of the other computers in this place work. So this will have to do.

[mister_foppish]

I'm not insulting him. I'm simply pointing out the fact that he's still a child. He may not have been around you for that time but he still had servants and everything taken care of for him.

I only make the point that he needs to be watched over carefully here. We don't have those resources now. There's no bodyguards that are going to protect him and there isn't telling what kind of people are around...Trust me when I tell you some of them aren't going to look twice at the fact that he's a child.

[Hmm. Well, now. It's coming together isn't it. Pegasus had had his suspicions when the brothers were together but he didn't know about Duelist Kingdom now, did he. Pegasus could only deduce from here further that Kaiba came directly from waking up from being in a coma. That definitely explained some things.]

It is a feat that you made it work this far, so I can't say we can be entirely picky.

[blueyesfanboy]

[Kaiba bristles, if only because he realizes much of what Pegasus is saying is true. But he doesn't like to be told how to do things--least of all how to take care of his little brother.]

I'll protect him. [The words are finalizing. Kaiba's not discussing the issue further.]

[After that, it's hard for him to suppress his agitation enough to talk about the system he made...]

...

[mister_foppish]

[He reached forward to squeeze his shoulder, massaging at it gently.]

Three eyes are better than just two you know!

[Pegasus chuckled, seemingly way too amused by that morbid little joke of his. Given their mutual cooperation already he saw no reason why he shouldn't help.]

[blueyesfanboy]

[Kaiba was still feeling a bit touchy, and he didn't like having his abilities questioned. He pulled his shoulder away.]

Two will do.

[Now he reaches forward, closing his laptop.] Whenever we're ready to try leaving again, I'm ready.

[mister_foppish]

Kaiba-boy...You know I'm only trying to help.

[He said, softly. Even now he was being stubborn. This was just too big for one person. Didn't he see that? It wasn't a question of abilities per say...

Still, he'd not try his luck by pushing him so far when he was in this kind of mood.]

Mmn. You want to go now? There isn't much daylight left you know...

[blueyesfanboy]

I already told you, I don't need help.

[Kaiba straightens up, picking up his briefcase and adjusting his collar.]

No, not right now. The camera I'm using isn't that good--it won't be able to track us in the dark.

[mister_foppish]

Well fine. Be stubborn then.

[He huffed, turning back to sit in his chair and stare sullenly at his canvas.]

Hn. If you don't want my help then what are you doing out here telling me all this in the first place?

[blueyesfanboy]

We're still business partners. It would be foolish to let such a lucrative relationship go under because I got home and you didn't.

[With that, Kaiba heads back towards the school.

His words were harsh intentionally, and Kaiba was hiding his true motives behind them. Of course business was part of the equation, but there was more to it than that. He respected Pegasus, and wouldn't leave him behind if it was possible to take him with him.]
