Kay very nearly assured him that it was going to be ten times worse than what he and Juudai had put her through yesterday (and why they'd taken such a fiendish pleasure into tickling her into silent laughter was something she'd probably never understand), but she didn't think she wanted to remind him that his friend was ticklish. So instead, she only lifted her chin and gave him a stern look.

"It would be the stuff of nightmares," she said ominously-- an effect that was ruined when she cracked a grin a split second later. "You wouldn't be spared, even if you cried for mercy." It probably would have worked better if she hadn't been looking so gleeful. Her upbeat manner seemed to have cheered him up, which was what she'd been counting on.
