A college-aged girl approaches the desk, a lanyard with some of the new merch, a mini Kaiba, dangles from her neck.
<span class="mu-g">“I didn’t realize I paid $10 to get frowned at,“</span> says the girl with a wink, marking it as a joke.
Kaiba stares at the girl, radiating disapproval of the fan’s cheery demeanour.
The fan leans forward, putting her weight on the desk, <span class="mu-g">“Hey, can I ask you something?”</span> she says, <span class="mu-g">“Like, privately? In a whisper?”</span>
Kaiba glances at her security guard – he shrugs.
Gloomy mood momentarily replaced with curiosity, Kaiba leans forward slightly.
She uses a hand to tuck her hair behind an ear, and tilts the side of her head in the direction of the fan.
The fan leans in and, using a hand to block the sound, whispers something in Kaiba’s ear.
Moments later, Kaiba reels backwards.
Her face is bright red, a full-faced blush, <span class="mu-g">“Eeeeeeh,”</span> she cries, hands trembling.
The girl laughs in a sly manner, <span class="mu-g">“I figured as much,”</span> she says, <span class="mu-g">“My friends and I had a bet going.”</span>
Kaiba covers her blushing face with both hands and leans away, whatever she is trying to say comes out as a sort of brabble.
<span class="mu-g">“Am I going to get my handshake, miss idol?”</span> asks the fan, somwhat smug, <span class="mu-g">“Come on, I am a paying customer.”</span>
Kaiba’s hesitant hand shakes its way over the desk.
The girl clasps the hand in both her hers, winks, and lets go – waving goodbye with a wiggle of the fingers as she disappears into the crowd.
Unfortunately, the subtlety from the college girl is thoroughly ruined by Kaiba.
She slowly opens her hand allowing her, and everybody else, to see the small folded note resting in the palm of her hand.
Now aware everyone can see the note, Kaiba has a fit of panic.
She’s running her hands over her clothing in search of a pocket which, on account of her wearing a sweater and a skirt, she doesn’t find.
All the fans are watching this happen with mild amusement as it has been quite a bit more entertaining than the gloomy interactions that preceded it.
Eventually and with a face tight with embarrassment, she ducks beneath the desk to hide the note somewhere on her person.
The next half-dozen people coming for the handshake don’t manage to get a single world out of Kaiba.
They don’t even mind.
