[It's still strange even to him. He's certainly not complaining though.
And Kaiba should know by now not to egg on the blonde with time challenges. He might not have his bike but he still prides himself on getting things done well and quickly. Marik looks far too sure of himself, Chen glancing up concerned from his usual spot on his shoulder.]

That's a cliché, isn't it? To tell someone they need to talk to them about something and leave them a puddle of anxiety. He's fairly certain he hasn't done anything stupid as of late. Or anything at all since he arrived here. Well, except one thing. Diavolo doesn't know anything about Kaiba so it can't be that...
No, stop it. You can be upfront with him. Stop jumping at shadows that aren't there.]
