This is Solomon Wreath speaking. To whom do I have the pleasure?

Magic mirror?

[There's undisguised mischief in his voice. He remembers that Mirror Force trap Bakura showed him. It seems like the most likely option, or something similar.]

Fairy's Hand Mirror, yes. Redirects an effect from one target to another.

You haven't answered my question as to what you're going to do, to stave off me having to keep doing that.

[It takes a least a minute for him to answer. Mostly because he's laughing. When he finally gets his breath:]

Oh, if she goes to you again I don't think it'll be for anything to do with me. Otherwise, I was fully intending on opening myself up to some petty vengeance so she feels satisfied I've been sufficiently ground under her heel. China never did understand that the willing submissive holds all the power.

[ Bakura finds it significantly less funny than Solomon does, as is clear by the crisp edge to his tone. ]

Yes, because you're the only possible target for that petty revenge. It's not as though you have people you live with, and who are dear to you, that would make for convenient scapegoats to a woman scorned.

[He is still amused.]

Raine knows about her, and knows what she's capable of, and is far too well-known a personage in the city for China to risk targetting her or her brother without calling down the wrath of everyone else, Skulduggery especially. As long as I'm the easiest target, she'll come for me, because she won't risk her overall standing for something as petty as a fifty-year-old slight.

Besides, I rather think you've just added yourself to her rather short list of vengeance. That'll distract her somewhat.

[ Fuck everything, why does he even bother? Bakura slams the console feed closed. ]

[When he next checks his console, he'll get one last rather confused message, more as if Solomon is speaking aloud than to anyone.]

What did I say?
