[Katsuya goes oddly silent. If either of the girls have seen his alternates on the television, it could even be called eerie. Katsuya Jonouchi is not this quiet. Joey Wheeler definitely isn't this quiet.

Calmly, he steps toward Alexis, stopping a few feet away. He'll let Kaiba explain the timelines not being an issue to Rei. If it were, they'd already be in a mess. Rei wouldn't even exist Now. But that said.]

You gonna seriously blame th' guy who ain't from yer world on it? [He asks calmly, looking to the girl with his hands in his sweater pocket.] 'Cause I dunno abou' you, but both th' one here an' th' one I know wouldn've stood for any 'f tha' crap, after what happened t' us.

[A deep breath- even Red Eyes pauses from demanding attention, curled around Kaiba to stare with wide eyes.]

Calm th' hell down. Take it from th' guy workin' jobs t' get through highschool.

[If anyone knows the shitty balance of poor finances and weird spooky magic, it's him.]
