Still chuckling over his victory, Pegasus strode from the battlefield, savoring the ire of the watching duelists above him as the arena dismantled itself. However desperate they were, whatever strength they dredged up from the depths of their spirits, he would make sure to crush their efforts as soundly as he did their dreams, the way his had been so many years ago. He accepted the congratulations of his bodyguards graciously, taking the briefcase one of them had been holding for him and disappearing down the castle's twisting corridors. A quick check in the kitchen revealed that all was well, and that Seto had indeed been taught to wash dishes; the soulless body was drying a wine glass mechanically, equally glassy eyes staring down at the worn rag making its mindless circles. "Do be careful with those, Kaiba-boy, you know how I love my refreshments. As a matter of fact, you don't even need to put that one away—I feel like celebrating. How about a nice Merlot, hmm?"

"You heard Master Pegasus. Get him his wine." A guard gave Seto a push in the direction of the wine cabinet; the young man brought the bottle back, filling the glass held out to him and staring mindlessly as it was held aloft. "Let's have a toast, shall we? Here's to you, Kaiba-boy, and to your little friends, too. I do so hope their performance will be satisfactory. After all, we wouldn't want you to languish here forever while the pieces fall into place...."

Pegasus took a hearty sip of wine, his eye widening as the scenery suddenly shifted around him. The young man choked and coughed with the sudden surprise, nearly dropping his glass—it remained unshattered and unspilled, but he was still given a dirty look for the sip that had been sprayed all over a young man's shirt. His nice, clean white shirt.... "Oh, I'm terribly sorry about that....." Pegasus smiled apologetically, willing to overlook the initial strangeness of the situation to make amends and try to compose himself. "It was completely unintended, I assure you. Is there anything I might do to make it up to you?"

"Don't.... don't worry about it, sir." The young man twitched a little, but kept his smile frozen in place and his politeness as fixed as ever. Unlike many people—to their displeasure—Pegasus had appeared in the line, not to one side of it. Not only that, but he had appeared directly behind the person just now disappearing through the gates, cutting out the wait entirely. What service! "Your name, please?" The booth keeper asked, reaching for a tissue to try and blot some of the wine off.

"Maximilian J. Pegasus, my good man. And yourself?"

"That's not very important, Mr. Pegasus. Here are your brochures and journal; you may enter Paixao now."

A gleaming gold journal and packet of brochures was handed to him; Pegasus accepted them graciously enough, calling back cheerily as he entered the domed city. "Bye now, don't be a stranger!" There. Now that he was left to his own devices, he could maybe figure out what on earth had happened, and just where Paixao was; this was quite obviously not part of the Shadow Realm, and it didn't feel as if he'd been transported through it somehow.... Just what had happened, anyway?

Well, whatever it was, he might as well finish his drink before anything else happened.....

"A pleasure." Pegasus beamed at her, laughing at the question. "Very good! You're exactly right. Yes, I was born in America, but I've lived in Japan for years--I certainly hope I'm fluent by now!" He watched the changing facial expressions with interest, wondering just what was prompting them, but decided to keep his Eye to himself for now--after all, no point in using it for something so trivial, when he wasn't sure if she could sense it being used. Who knew? Paixao was a strange place, after all....

"Anything shiny, now?" Pegasus raised an eyebrow in surprise, making a mental note to check through his wallet for shiny coins, and perhaps pick up something to polish back up any dull ones. "How interesting.... There probably aren't many, I'm sure. I should have enough to cover a few train tickets...." He reached for his wallet to check, finding himself suddenly rocking back on his heels as the weather shifted. It had gone from pleasant, to.... well, as if they'd been shoved into an oven and wrapped in foil to keep the heat from escaping. Abso-bloody-lutely roasting.

"Goodness, what a heat wave.... Where do you suppose it came from? Perhaps it would be best to be off...." He wiped his forehead, careful to not move the curtain of hair shielding his false Eye from view, and glanced at Teru. Was he coming along?
