I have a smile stretched from ear to ear to see you walking down the road...

It's been so quiet lately. I almost don't trust it, this unnatural silence. The only oddity has been the weather, which has seemed to turn bitter cold overnight. Kaa-san and I had to drag out the winter blankets, and I'm afraid I need to put away my tank tops until next year. It'll be sweaters and long-sleeves from now on

...

Yugi. Really. That's some protection you've got there.

[little_shizuka]

Rishid-san wouldn't hurt me.

[soullessservant]

Some people who really care about you think he might, kid.

[little_shizuka]

Who?

[ddm_duelist]

I think he's talking about me, Shizuka-chan... I might have mentioned that I was worried. Rishid is dangerous... but if Yuugi-kun is gonna be there too then, well... I'm not sure if that's better or worse.

[little_shizuka]

Otogi-san, why would it be worse?

[ddm_duelist]

It's just the way he threatened Yuugi-kun, and the way he... well, he looks at you funny, Shizuka-chan. Always has. And I know that look. All I'm saying is, two of my best friends are gonna be alone with a guy who probably eats raw meat for breakfast, and I have a bad feeling about it.

[little_shizuka]

Uhm. Yuugi-san seems to think everything will be all right if he is there.

[ddm_duelist]

Yuugi-kun is a great guy, but I don't think he realizes the danger. Not everyone is as kind hearted as he is. Especially not that psycho Rishid.

[little_shizuka]

Rishid-san has always been kind to me.

[ddm_duelist]

Has he now. Just how kind? I don't trust him. He pushed someone out of a window, that says it all.

[little_shizuka]

Well, to be fair, mou hitori no Malik-san's a monster. But Rishid-san has always been kind to me.

[ddm_duelist]

They're both monsters. Maybe I should be there too when this practice duel goes ahead.

[little_shizuka]

You are more than welcome to, if you would like.

[ddm_duelist]

I'll be there then. When is it?

[little_shizuka]

I don't know...
