In hindsight, he was glad that he'd kept his unease primarily to himself, though body language likely betrayed him a few times. Oh- and there was that one line to Yugi about keeping secrets that was meant to be in jest but it wouldn't have been difficult to read between the lines. This shared sentiment went a long way towards smoothing everything over from before, as did their discussion.] Come on, Yugi- can't you cut Kaiba some slack this time? Given the circumstances surely. [Deciding to back off of the brunette in regards to the war games. It was obvious that the slight hadn't been intended by his mannerisms and it's not as if he had to tell them everything]

He was about to say that it wouldn't be necessary, just relieved that everything has more or less calmed down from earlier when Yugi pipes up. Oh- he's playing a game of his own is he?]
