No, there were ulterior motives involved. It was what had lured him into the kitchen in the hope of finding somewhere to put that abandoned bottle of wine where it wouldn't automatically be thrown back on his doorstep again.
Hm, maybe in the microwave? Then Atem would at least have to pick it up and look at it before he removed it.

but for the moment she wanted to head back into the kitchen to help her Daddy's out. She knew there were more napkins in here..she just had to figure out where...but her search quickly came to a hold when she saw Kaiba standing there ...in the kitchen.
..She did the only thing a little kid, one that was hyped up on sugar, would do. She quickly latched onto his leg.
"Mister Kaiba!"

"..Yuuki," he said in way of greeting, finally looking down at the thing that had curled around his leg. "You can let go now."

"I'm so happy you could come! I can show you my birthday cake! And my presents! And! And! Papa Atem is here too!" the little girl was super excited, could you tell?

"I saw the birthday cake. It is...very large," he said hesitantly. He had no interests in birthday cakes, or any cakes for that matter. It had gone unnoticed, as did who was actually there at the time. There were more important things to be done.
"There are quite a few people here. He was successful, it seems," he continued in the same cautious tone. "But I'm afraid I cannot stay long."

Then, just like that, her excitement dropped down. Kaiba had to leave...but he couldn't! He had to at least stay for cake! She clung a bit tighter to his leg and shook her head.
"You have to stay, it's a party!"

Carefully the CEO lowered himself to her eyelevel, the better to keep her calm and rational about this. Kids were capable of it, he knew.
"I'm still very busy, Yuuki. My work was burned up by someone days ago. I have to clean up," he said calmly. "But it's a..pleasant party, and I know you'll like what I got for you."
That was what kids cared about in the end.

Once he was finished he dried them and then finally turned to the two.
"What's going on in here?"
Reply
The little girl bowed her head a little feeling sad that she couldn't convince Kaiba to stay.
"...I don't care about the presents.. I want you to stay..." she murmured, trying hard not to cry. She looked to the side when she heard Atem's voice. She wanted to tell on Kaiba, but..that might get her in trouble. Instead she got off of him and moved back to Atem, sulking a little.
"..nothing, Papa..."

He paused as Atem approached. Almost immediately he rose back to his full height and straightened up against the counter. The last thing he needed was for the other to see the little girl upset, or his rival making any concessions at all to a little girl. At least the wine was safely stowed.
"I was getting some water," the brunet said coolly, "and Yuuki came in. You should really allow for people who aren't interested in liquid sugar the next time you throw one of these things."
Reply
But he bent down to Yuuki, giving her a pat on the head. She looked rather sad. This was no good. "What's wrong?" A quick warning glance up to Kaiba. Yuuki's mood was fine before she'd come in here and spoken with the brunet. That had to mean this was his fault somehow.
Reply
"..nothing.." she said, trying to sound more reassuring, not realizing her eyes were starting to water.
Reply
Feeling a bit lost for what to do, Kaiba's eyes rose to Atem's instead. The warning glance was more familiar, and much easier to deal with.
"Bottled water and tap water on this Island both come from the same source. It doesn't matter which," Kaiba said, holding onto it in an attempt to control the subject of conversation.
Reply
Though his own eyes rose back up to Kaiba's. "Then take one." His tone here was a little tight, already slightly angry with the situation. He wasn't sure what Kaiba did.
Reply
"..Nothing, just a stomach ache..." she murmured. granted, she didn't want to lie, but...if Kaiba got into trouble, he would be mad at her. Then he wouldn't want her near him ever again.
And that, could never ever happen.
