once all the pieces are in their proper places, kaiba sinks to the floor. kisara chooses to stay with yugi, curling up against his side as she coos softly, bidding for more of that soft attention. even without being ordered to do so, she seems to understand: yugi could definitely use a friend right now.]

Not surprising. It takes a lot of will to take care of a dragon.

[but it's pretty gentle teasing, all things considered. they both knew damn well how willful yugi could be -- hence his punishment.]

I'll play with half the pieces. That should be a suitable handicap.
