[She's in (or out of) luck; Kunzite is here rather than out training or fighting. He looks up as the out-of-breath girl rushes in. It's rare, bordering on unheard-of, for Mercury to be quite this flustered.

...Nephrite at it again? He's looking decidedly displeased, although it's probably hard to discern from his expression whether it's at her interruption or not.]

Mercury. Is there a reason for this... intrusion?

[dress_up_genius]

[Oh hell. Of all the.. She's too tired for this. Ami sighs, just closing her eyes and leaning against the door.]

One, for the the last time, I'm not Mercury. Two, I didn't know it was your room, and three.... I'm leaving.

[She pushes off the door, turning around to grasp the handle.]

[Ah. This one. Not the one who lives in this Dark Kingdom with him. She'll still have no luck convincing him to call her anything but Mercury, but he does differentiate.

He has interest in her games, either; for all that it's his concern, she can walk out. But it wouldn't be wise to. He quirks a half-smirk.]

By all means.

[Well, she tried to reach the doorknob, before her fingers twitched. Hesitation. Fear. And added annoyance, thanks to who she was with. Finally, fingers curl into a fist, and in a motion usually reserved for Mako-chan, she punches the door. Weak as she is, it's not much of a punch, therefore not hurting (or harming the door) as she mutters.]

Starting to really hate this place.

[anotherloyalty]

What seems to be the trouble, Mercury? Is the door stuck?

[dress_up_genius]

[She remembers something and perks, reaching into her bag.]

No! I just remembered I have to give you these.

[Cookies get, setting them on a table between them. Neutral territory.]

[anotherloyalty]

...

[The surprise is well-contained as the expression remains neutral]

I hope these haven't been growing stale since the time I saw you baking.

[dress_up_genius]

Of course not! I baked them just last night.

[anotherloyalty]

Have you improved since then?

[dress_up_genius]

Only one way for you to find out, Kunzite!

[anotherloyalty]

[He helps himself to one of the cookies. They're not burnt, an improvement already, and the taste is pretty good. His expression remains non-committal.]

You still have room to improve.

[dress_up_genius]

I know that.

[Leaving attempt number two~]

[anotherloyalty]

[He helps himself to another cookie, apparently indifferent.]

[dress_up_genius]

...

[She pauses at the door.]

... At least you're eating them.

[anotherloyalty]

Should I not? Have you laced them with poison, Mercury?

[dress_up_genius]

Of course not!
