--"Raine Sage. I can't reach the console right now. If it's an emergency, don't wait to get a hold of me, keep moving. I'm sure I'll hear about it soon. If not, leave a message and I'll contact you when I can."

As much as I can be sure of, I suppose.

[ The small consolation here is that Bakura's aware enough to know when it's happening, which at least gives him warning. ]

[ruinsprofessor]

[There is that. Knowing is a significant part of the battle.]

If that's still the case in a little while, there is something I should speak to you about.

[denyamenti]

Any time your schedule allows, seba-rekhet.

[ruinsprofessor]

And yours. Some time when you don't expect to have other significant commitments for much of the day.

[She could likely be more cryptic if she tried.]

[denyamenti]

Making me reserve time for you? How forward.

[ruinsprofessor]

[At least he's in a good mood. It still takes Raine a moment to find a response.]

You already set aside some time for me fairly regularly. It's not as though this is all that much more.

[denyamenti]

You need to refresh your sense of humour, seba-rekhet.

[ruinsprofessor]

[She's misplaced it. Bakura's likely right.]

Hmmm. Is this the part where it's customary to tell you to tell better jokes?

[Faintly hesitant, but familiar with the concept.]

[denyamenti]

[ slyest grin ]

If you think you could do so with any influence.

[ruinsprofessor]

Oh, honestly.

[Aaaand she doesn't seem to have a retort for that, all the same. She has no illusions of any control over him.]

Is it that strange to ask?

[denyamenti]

Of course it's not.

[ He's just messing with you, Raine. You should know better! ]

[ruinsprofessor]

[Of course he is. Of course she should.]

[Raine sighs pointedly, but she's smiling.]

Well, then. I'll see you soon. Lunch?

[denyamenti]

Aa, I'll see you then.

[ruinsprofessor]

Take care. Until then.

[It's good that things are getting back to normal. For a given value thereof.]
