[MINGLE ] And many happy returns to you, Bakura!

[Has a creepy, stalkerish or just plain rude valentine made it under your doorstep? Probably, at least until Bakura got lazy and stopped bothering. Regardless, do you want to express how you feel about said valentine to him? Then this is the place to do so!]

Have you ever in your however many thousands of years, found someone you 'love' before? You don't seem like it, 'specially since the idea makes you look like you're getting sick. You're even blushing! Don't tell me the great and mighty spirit of the, um, necklace, has found love. Maybe you're more human then I first took you for.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Shut up! It's called the Millennium Ring! And I already told you that's never happened before!

[Dammit, don't fluster him, woman. He has trouble holding his tongue when he gets flustered. His face is burning, dammit... Curse Ryou's pale skin!]

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

Whatever. You don't wear it on a finger, so it's not a ring. The important thing is that you're now bright red just talking about the kid. What makes him so special?

[fluffydeathdealer]

It is a Ring. It's round. And I didn't name the thing! There's already a necklace.

[Kh, what an annoying woman...]

Malik is Malik. He's an asshole, but he's mine.

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

Heh. Just be sure to keep your pet asshole in check. I've heard... interesting rumors about him.

[She's still smiling, but there's a knife's edge to it.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Hoh... News spreads fast.

[He's so not admitting that he has literally zero control over Malik.]

Don't worry. An ordinary woman like you is less important to him than his shoes. He's got no reason to care about you at all.

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

[She bites back a sudden flare of irritation that she would be dismissed so easily. Anonymity could be just as useful as notoriety, especially when it came to someone as potentially powerful as Malik. Swallowing her pride, even if it sat uncomfortably in her gut, Sibyll lets her smile soften.]

Not sure why you'd be surprised. You've both been busy little bees ever since you got here. And I like keeping up gossip. Never know what you might learn.

[fluffydeathdealer]

'Both'? Malik's the one that's been causing all of the uproar! I haven't done a thing worthy of garnering attention.

[Bakura smiles like a shark.]

I've been keeping out of trouble.

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

Really? You call this... [With one had, she reaches out to press lightly at the scar on his face.] And this...[Her other hand grips onto his damaged one tightly.]... staying out of trouble?

[fluffydeathdealer]

...oi. [He has to fight not to jerk away from her touch, staying unnaturally still. When her hand grips the damaged one, he frowns, tensing. It feels weird being touched like that... The nerve damage means that it's only slight sensation he's getting from it. It's like being permanently numb.]

If you're going to pry... then I'll tell you right now. Those were from Malik.

[Now he tugs his hand back.]

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

[She lets his hand go in surprise.]

Normally I'd expect to hear from a runaway hooker, not from you. You should find someone less harsh on Ryou's body. It's not like it's yours.

[fluffydeathdealer]

...tch. It wasn't his intention. You've seen it, right? That golden firebird that shows up at night. Ra. He lost control of it.

[It's the closest thing to the truth he'll admit. He won't spread the factor of the other Malik around... even if forewarned might save lives. Where's the fun in that? And more importantly, it might make shit worse for Malik.]

I'm not going to make excuses for the cuts on my face. He was just being an asshole.

[A slight pause. Heh... she had no clue, didn't she?]

You're sadly mistaken, anyway. This body's been mine for years now.
