^{Listen–not once did he tell the other to actually go through with the challenge. This is what happens when two over the top egos found a way to collide, one of them was going to end up embarrassing themselves & (as smug as it may be to call it now) Kai had a feeling it wasn’t going to be him. Not to say that the other was BRED for drinking, obviously not. However, he has had more than his few share of bottles in his lifetime. Drunken nights alone, drunken nights being dragged out by ex-team members & subsequently having to baby sit them all as he drank them all into oblivion. With twiglet mcgee over here, it might be the same thing.}

                                                                         ^{Drink poured & that smug smirk downright REFUSED to leave Kai’s features. ❛ How else am I supposed to start? Mild? No one starts off mild if their goal is to have gloating rights in the end. ❜ The bottle was now situated between the two of them; his body laying back on the plush seat with one arm over the neck of it. ❛ Fire away, let’s hear what you got for me. ❜

That’s my job & I don’t appreciate you taking all the fun out of it. ❜ As if—so long as they had (what was to them) their healthy banter & competition, there will never be no fun to not be had. Kind of hard when the opponent is just as hell bent; Kai never got that much competition when it came to the slinging of insults. Nice to know that he can’t make everybody cry—it just means he’s gonna try harder.}

As funny as that would’ve been to ANYONE else, no such acts are to transpire. Cue the snort from the blader.}

In fact, he could’ve asked the other the same thing. & yet, Kai would be surprised if he knew who he was—those who worked within Hiwatari Enterprises (or owned it like he did but who’s taking names) made sure that those on the outside didn’t know who they were or what they looked like. A business that supplied the military—every single one. So long as there is war, there will be those who want to defend their country no matter the reason.

Keeping to old tradition & losing the tyranny that governed by fear as if they were the mob no longer fit Kai’s ideals. He’ll never be like his grandfather. But, lunch was over; the napkin dabbed the side of his face. ❛ I don’t care about who people are, I care about what they can do. In the end, the ultimate goal of anyone is if the person in front of them can benefit them in any way, shape or form. Thus is the way of the world. ❜ Kai then moved to stand. ❛ Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go back to my hotel & get changed; I have a meeting with the man in charge of KaibaCorp—that’s….you, right? ❜}
