"Think they'll be surprised?"
Yukio groaned silently . Surprised wasn't exactly the word that came to mind . "Man, you have a way with words," he said instead of answering the question .
AdvertisementRyu grinned impishly and poured himself another cup of coffee, or whatever substituted for coffee here . Swedes drank their traditional coffee from large mugs poorly suited to the black gold, and as a result it was weak and strangely sour .
Swallowing another mouthful of the swill Yukio decided he had enough . Tea, he'd have tea instead . For some reason there was an abundance of flavoured tea which surprised him .
'Land of coffee, and you drink horse piss, but I'd be hard pressed to find as many variants of tea back home . ' He grinned . 'Strange people . You're strange all of you . '
"They shouldn't be," Yukio said . "We've given them enough hints to guess what's about to happen . "
With a nod Ryu leaned back in his chair . "Some people are rather dense . Remember the fallout with Red Rose?"
He was right . Some people were really, really dense . It still surprised Yukio how far their adversaries had allowed things to go south before they reacted . Looking back he was grateful for that incompetence . At the time he'd looked up on Urufu and Kuri like some kind of divine beings, but in reality they'd been badly out-gunned from the start .
"Yeah, I remember . No way I'd help them with something like that today . "
"Them? If I recall Kuri did most of the damage . " Yukio saw Ryu look around to make sure Urufu didn't overhear them . "Urufu was livid when he found out . "
With a sigh Yukio admitted that Ryu was right . Still, in the end Urufu helped his girlfriend inflict as much damage as possible unto what had transformed from a bad memory to an enemy .
"I'm happy it's all behind us," Yukio said and rose to make some tea . @@
