"Bakura?"

"Yes, Marik?"

"Why are there suitcases on the bed?"

"So we can pack our clothes into them."

Bakura gave Marik his trademark smirk. "Because we haven't been on vacation in a while."

"Yeah? And where are we going?"

"London."

"Bakura?"

"Yes Marik?"

"Are we stealing the Crown Jewels?"

"Yes. Yes we are."

"Are we going to give them back again?"

"Going soft on me, Marik? You sound awfully do-goody right now."

"You like to forget that I'm technically reformed."

"There's a lot of subtext added to 'technically'."

"You never answered my question."

Bakura shrugged. "Yes. We'll give them back – after we play with them for a bit."

It was Marik's turn to smirk. "Does 'play' also carry a lot of subtext?"
