[i]"Pure Kaijus"[/i] She replied, before pausing for a moment, scanning her partner's face for The Look. There was always one, on every duelist's face the first time she mentioned her cute city-crushing critters. The Look always came out in different ways, a slight tightening of the jaw or glance downwards or nervous nose twitch. Every duelist had that one match where they'd gotten their boss monster out on the field lusting after life points only for it to be quashed by a Gamaciel, costing them the game.  Aya lived for that look. Every time she saw it on the face of some Six Samurai sycophant so singularly set on summoning Shi En only to watch it be flattened by her pet turtle, she felt all warm and fuzzy inside. Even if they managed to claw back and win the duel afterwards, which they usually managed to do. The corners of Matt's mouth tightened a little, and his eyes became glassy and unfocused. It was music to her ears. She tried not to let the smug self satisfaction show on her face, until she realized that it wasn't aimed at her at all.

The only thing that reminded the world of it's existence was a small faint three sided dent in the half-open plexiglas window that had, against all the laws of narrative practice, failed to shatter. Aya breathed out, turning to her companion in sheer relief. [i]"Ohmygosh did you see that? It nearly hit us, ohmygosh!"[/i] She turned around in her seat, climbing the backrest of her chair, repeating her question in between bouts of [i]"Ohmygosh"[/i] to the quiet youth sitting all alone behind them. If she was shocked by what had happened, everyone near her vicinity needed to know. [i]"Didja see where it landed, the thingy? The brick?"[/i]
