You ever hear about how misery loves company? Sooomething like that, but I just get bored easy, too—What're you up to?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[shifts a bit]

I wanted to...ah, just, check in. That was some performance, earlier.

[maege]

Performance? ...You mean all the yelling?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Yeah. The jig was up, you didn't have to say anything, unless you just wanted to yell. Which, fair enough.

[maege]

Of course I wanted to yell, it's the one problem solving skill I've got that isn't zappin' fools. There was a problem that needed solving and I can't use my magic, and so!

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

I hope not to end up on the wrong side of that skill next time.

[maege]

Haha! You just keep up the good work and you've got nothin' to worry about.

[she's real casual about the whole thing, even as she jocularly punches his arm]

Hey, glad you made it outta there.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[why punching. but also, casual is good]

...Yeah, me too. Pretty big surprise for everyone.

[maege]

[it's a friendship punch okay, that's how friendship works]

Aw, c'mon, you were busting your butt way too hard to go down that easy, don't be so startled.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

The tender mercies of others generally aren't so merciful in my experience, so, yeah, I'm a little startled.

[maege]

We all gotta win one sometimes.

[she's trying to find a way to lean against the wall now without looking like a smug douchebag while also achieving maximum comfort]

C'moooon, lighten up a little! Things that happen around here usually aren't wins but I'd call this pretty great for us.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[as if seto kaiba can judge anyone for being a smug douchebag]

I'll save the champagne until I'm safely outside this place. but yeah, our threats should be erased. And there's fewer than ten of us left. This whole thing should be over.

[in theory. but his expression doesn't look as heavy as it did the previous few days.]

[maege]

[listen, no, she is NOT about to risk anyone assuming the smug douchebag-ness has rubbed off on her?? no]

All things which would sound like cause for celebration to anyone who wasn't so focused on acting so surly.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[if people knew how much fun it was to be a smug douche they wouldn't even try to stop themselves]

I'm not surly. I haven't even frowned this conversation.

[maege]

You're keeping track?

[laughing as she says it]

I guess it's exciting enough to see you in relatively good spirits that I can't make fun of you too much about that, fiiine.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Isn't that part of being "mindful"?

[like kaiba has been mindful about anything ever in his life,]

Anyway, keep everything intact until we finally step foot outside this place, then I'll smile all you want.

[maege]

I'll do my best but our track record's not phenomenal, so I can't make any promises.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

In which case, no point in getting too excited about things now. Gotta save it for a special occasion.

[maege]

I would call surviving two near-death experiences in the span of about twenty four hours pretty special myself.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[shrugs]

If you say so.

[maege]

As a matter of fact, I do say so! And if you're not willing to bust out the champagne, the least we can do is scrounge up some celebratory dessert so that I have an excuse to eat more dessert and also to sit down.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Alright. That's acceptable.

[finding edible things is gonna be up to her though since kaiba hasn't eaten anything other than eggos and flintstone vitamins the whole time]

[maege]

"Acceptable"—Whatever, I'll take it.

[first of all, Kaiba, why, second of all Mae doesn't actually make significantly better food decisions because she makes a beeline for the freezer, gasps, and all but throws a tub of ice cream onto the counter.]

Yeesssss, they restocked! Please don't be full of worms.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[because food is a hassle, plus he likes that orange-color flavor]

Worm ice cream would be high in low-cost proteins. That's where the future lies.

[maege]

No. No. This stuff is so good, and I can't get it at home, and you are not ruining it for me.

[peeeeks under the ice cream tub lid and cheerfully tears it right off when it is, in fact, not full of worms, but instead is wormless neapolitan flavor]
