[Slipstream appears displeased. Tired, bitter, unhappy. All of those things. She's only just realized how long it's been since her apartment - already unpleasantly large and lonely - had been invaded by the Fallen.

She's perched on the railing of her balcony.]

Only a few of us left. If that, even. I wonder if that's a good thing, or a bad one?

[She isn't in the mood to deal with kids right now.

But she'll just sigh instead of snapping atchoo, Mokuba.]

Do you? Why?

Because I like you, Slipstream. I don't want you to go away too.

[She'll take a few minutes to reply, until she can get her voice to work properly.

Damnit human child. Stop affecting her. Stupid City. Stupid Earth. Stupid HUMANS.]

I don't have much to go back for, anyway.

But there's plenty to stay for. You have me. And Niisama. And Kaiba Corp.

Right?

Damnit human child. Stop that. She doesn't like these feelings. Avoidant answer is go.]

Mm.

[Is that a good answer or a bad answer? He bites his lip uncertainly.]

We could... go out for ice cream and do something fun? That always makes me feel better.

Processing. Ding! Have a wicked smirk.]

I've got a better idea. Flying?

[the_other_kaiba]

[She's smiling! This is good!]

Yes!!

[femmescream]

[It's just to get you off her back, kiddo.]

Tomorrow.

[the_other_kaiba]

[But-- but it's a smile! Smiles are good! Right? Right?]

I'll see you then.
