Yuugi?

[pintsizeduelist]

...Cissnei...

[crimsonguarddog]

I don't know what is going on, but it isn't real. I promise you that.

[pintsizeduelist]

...I know. It just... feels very real...

[crimsonguarddog]

I know. [Pause, then finally.]

It should be over soon. Just be careful.

[pintsizeduelist]

I... I will do my best. You too, okay?

[Slight strain to his voice. He knows he's useless, can't fight.]

A week, right? [Short laugh.] That seems to be the magic number.

[crimsonguarddog]

I won't let her get to me.

[A promise she won't be able to keep, this time.]

[And this time, a bit hesitantly.] If... If you need assistance, Yuugi, I will be willing to help if you call.

[pintsizeduelist]

...Good. [A small relief. It's good knowing that his friends, at least, can take care of themselves. The offer... catches him by surprise, and the tightness is in his voice is replaced with a thin amount of embarrassment.]

I couldn't.. [A pause.] Th-Thank you. I'll try... not to bother you too much.

[lol why is the idea of her teaching him to fight suddenly so prominent in my head.]

[crimsonguarddog]

[I like this idea and we should do it :D]

I wouldn't of offered if it would be a bother.

[pintsizeduelist]

[ME TOO! :D lol somehow it'll have to come up.]

Ah... sorry. [A slight sigh. He did apologize too much, didn't he?] I mean.. thank you. I'll let you know.
