"Repeat after me," he tells her, "I want to be your blond-haired love-goddess..."
Mai rolls her eyes. "He's not going to fall for that," she says, "Kaiba's too smart."
"Of course he will," Pegasus says. "He's a teenager with hormones. He'll be all over you like a starving trout. Now," making a hurrying motion, "I want to be your blonde-haired love-goddess..."
Mai folds her arms.
Sighing, "darling, you won't get anywhere this way." He pats her elegant shoulder. "Listen, you want a rich husband, don't you?" Mai nods. "And Kaiba's rich, isn't he?" She nods again. As if it all makes perfect sense now, "well," he says.
She shrugs out from under his hand. "It's not going to work, Pegasus. If I say that to Kaiba, first he's going to start laughing, and then he'll throw me out of his office on my little Versace-covered ass."
Pegasus laughs. "Your cute little Versace-covered ass," he says. He pats her shoulder again. "I'm rich. Why not marry me? I've told you before I'm willing to marry another blonde woman."
"Because I'd kill you inside of three months." Mai's voice is tolerant. "Either I'd get fed up with your silliness, or I'd come home and find you cheating on me with Jounuchi..."
"Or I'd come home and find you cheating on me with Jounuchi." Pegasus grins at her. "Or we could all just give up and have a threesome."
They both laugh at that, and Mai lets him keep his hand on her for a full three minutes. Then she shrugs out from under again. "Okay, back to work. Give me something realistic I can use to get Kaiba."
Pegasus nods. "Because you want a rich husband."
"Exactly."
