Well, if II was just playing Luxord to give up his stringing of Kairi, he had to admit, it was working marvelously. There was nothing a good ego boost couldn't do for the Gambler, and he had to smile at those last words. As for the sob-story? Luxord really couldn't pin Xigbar for not being right on the money with that one; make your story seem sympathetic enough, and they'll forget all about how you thoughtlessly murdered thousands to get back what you lost.
So, the blond sat up from his previous lazed position and looked at the other, a rather evil smile playing on his lips. He liked this idea, he really did, so if they can pull it off...
"Deal. You work on the girl, and I'll be sure to lower the Keybrat's defenses," he closed his eyes for a moment, shuffling his cards from one hand to the other. "However, if anything goes wrong with Kairi, I will have to play innocent and abandon any connection with you; at least in their eyes, stealth was never a problem with me, and you're aware how I can make anything appear what it is not."
The smile grew wider (maybe that insanity was still present after all, even if he did hide it), and he held his hand toward the gunner while the cards piled into his opposite hand. "Are we at an understanding, my dearest Freeshooter?"
