And so, Kyo was off. He was given only one more instruction from Makima: the order to refrain from action until she said otherwise. He'd do that, but if things became too interesting, she'd be getting a very shaky call later. Before any of that however, it seemed Makima would be further prodding Yugi's thought process. He didn't initially think she'd be requiring much speech of him, but there were ways to deal with most things. In this case, he chose to slip two fingers into her canal in the time he had to respond. "It's only a bluff if there's nothing for them to reveal. And if they're not hiding anything... do you really think that kind of group trusts each other enough to believe nobody else in the guild has a secret worthy of the association's attention? And there's a pretty high chance that, even if nobody in the guild is doing anything... somebody will start advancing their 'technically acceptable' bullshit, either thinking somebody else's plan has been targeted... or thinking it's time to finish making moves before they're shut down for good."

Yugi gave his thoughts on what could happen with the Ember Skulls, but he had another curiosity about the Dungeon Break and... a living strike team leader. His understanding was that everyone in a Dungeon had to die for a sudden break to occur. With that being the case, the leader couldn't have been present when the others fell. "Actually... that one guy ─ the dickhead. He's probably got something going on. Unless I'm missing something, he left his team for dead. I don't think it was cowardice. I think... yeah. Yeah, it's that," he said, pausing the point as his thoughts became deeper. Even so, he kept that finger moving and gave the occasional lap between statements. "He'll try to make the most noise in all of this. His team is dead, the association and the guild leaders set him up for a bad time... He thinks he can make himself a hero and come out on top of a new or refurbished guild with a bunch of clout backing him."

Makima usually used a different person to strategize with, but he was to her knowledge out of town for a while. Finding a second brain she liked the thought processes of was well beyond her expectations in life. And much like that particular man, this one, when he needed to use his mouth for actual speaking moved on to inserting fingers into her core. She smirked appreciating his ability to do both things for... reasons. "Good boy~" she said seemingly amused. As for his actual words, Makima took up experiencing the stimulation while processing his speech. "You would have made quite the interesting up and comer in the underground," she said acknowledging the power of his brain.

While Yugi pontificated Miko listened. The bathroom wasn't soundrproof and she hadn't closed the door or anything. Her soft humming was simply to keep track of time. Just the same, those fingers and added tongue did do quite a lot for Makima. She also noted that with his mind working the lad seemed less effected by her mana. "Clever boy~" Makima praised. "You aren't missing anything. In order for that Break to have occurred he couldn't have been in the Dungeon when his team died. Whether he let them die on purpose or he claimed to leave to get help he's the lead and it's his fault," Makima said. Oh but the lad had even more to say and with a brain like this in her control, Makima couldn't help but feel even better as he worked. In fact she'd be tightening up on those fingers as their Intimacy rose another few percentage points... 45 would be the new count. "Ah♥~ You don't say?" she seemed beyond pleased to have this information. There was a lot to be done in a short amount of time. "I wonder then if I shouldn't send him some help while letting his guild master know what he did," she said those rings in her eyes pulsing, and her face flushed with that recently released orgasm. Miko slipped out of the shower, and was drying off. She'd be dressing herself in a little purple off the shoulder sweater dress and some knee high heeled boots. Her hair loose and a little damp as she managed a quick wash during her time in there.

Yugi was told that he'd make an interesting member of the underground. Oddly enough, it wasn't the first time such an observation had been made about him ─ nor would it be the last in all likelihood. "I've heard something like that before. Probably from someone you know," he claimed. Overall, two additional forms of praise were delivered unto Yugi in a short span of time. He had a sizeable buff going for himself, even at the halfway point of maximum stacks. More importantly, he wasn't missing a thing in his observation. That man was entirely at fault for the loss of his team, whether purposeful or otherwise... and Yugi was banking on the former. Makima would be finding out about that soon enough.

For starters, Makima seemed to find a great deal of pleasantry from having access to Yugi's mind. While that came as no surprise to him, it did obviously contribute some much-needed Intimacy. If it wasn't doing that, something was really weird about the System and/or Makima's route. Either way, she loosely suggested having the Players sent as 'assistance' with the Dungeon Break. Though Yugi had issues with that man, several implications said he wasn't expected to survive. "If you don't expect him to make it through the break regardless, I don't care. He's one wrong move from being put on a t-shirt regardless of all the guild shit," he claimed without much concern.

Apparently, the sentence that Makima used to describe the lad was one he heard before. Something said by someone she might know. Given what the lad was like and who she knew his father to be, she smirked. "Let me guess, one of those stone cold killers playing baby-sitter~" she said with a slight hint of amusement. No matter there was quite a lot that could be said about that particular person and their family. No matter what the underground was still the underground even with public faces, hers was always a fine line walked.

As for Yugi's continued work, apparently her idea to let the kids play his help was something that was fine with Yugi. Makima looked up and saw Miko. "Do you need a recap?" she asked the girl. "Iia, I heard it... I also don't care," Miko said. Miko was well and truly aware of why that man would end up dead in the right circumstances and imagined his interest in her could be a reasonable way to get him to say whatever he was going to say. "That sounded almost familiarly hostile, for one who didn't even have a full minute of contact that is interesting. He doesn't have to live, Kyo will find everything needed to bring his guild master to heel regardless. And I do believe the captain should go down with the ship. It's one of those things that always annoys me," Makima said without too much thought. "Finish up. I expect a cleared Dungeon Break. I'll even let you surprise me with your plan after everything is done..." Makima said with a smirk coming to her face.

[Bloodedge]

Makima had a guess to make about the other person Yugi spoke of. A stone-cold killer playing babysitter seemed about par for the course for that one, whether in regards to how Yugi knew her, or her placement within her own family at times. "Something like that. Playing hard to get too," Yugi commented. It was unnecessarily difficult to be a pervert around that one, bar some moments he was almost certain she'd merely been throwing a dog a bone, so to speak. Surely things would be marginally easier when he encountered her again ─ something he had to do eventually.

After actually managing a shower in three minutes, Miko returned to have her thoughts recorded as well. It seemed neither of them minded being sent as the 'help' for that Dungeon Break. No concern would be shared for the life of a fool ─ especially not one who was responsible for the deaths of others. Makima would also have the leader of Ember Skull taken down one way or another. The Captain going down with his ship was a notion Yugi could also get behind. He even had similar plans in relation to the state of Japan a year before. Actually, that was something else he had to think about later. Maybe he'd look into the current state of other countries. For now though, he had to finish up between Makima's legs and join Miko for a Dungeon Break. One day, a Gate and a Field-type Dungeon? That was the sort of grind Yugi was looking forward to.
