When: After the event
Where: The rock garden
Why: To be a good friend teammate
Warnings: None anticipated

Settling into a new life had been a strange process for Kaiba. Just a few months ago, he'd never picture himself as a leader to a ragtag group of misfits, an explorer of the deep seas or deep space, or his rival's boyfriend. Yet here he was, doing all of those things, and forging a truce with Yugi's band of friends too.

He was in the rock garden car to reflect on all of this, among other things, when he spotted someone he recognized immediately.

"Mazaki," he jogged over. "You've been elusive lately. You weren't even at the dance, and I was under the impression that was your favorite activity..."

Not that he was concerned or anything.

Oh. Right.

This was inevitable, in retrospect. After all, Anzu loved dancing just as much as they did, of course her friends would be concerned when she didn't show up to the dance!

Thankfully, they have an excuse prepared.

"Yeah, it's... really embarrassing, actually." Wester chuckles, rubbing their neck. "I got absorbed in working on some new tech for my deck and completely lost track of time and by the time I remembered there was a dance it was basically over and I didn't even have a costume and I just. Didn't go."

They didn't say it was a good excuse, but it was an excuse.
