Joey chuckles: Very ironic Yugi. I draw!
Yugi: Poetic
Joey looks confused: What?
Yugi: Irony would be more along the lines of me using Final Flame while I was winning so the word poetic describes my action better.
Joey scratches his head: Okay then... I start my battle step and attack you directly.
Yugi: 0000 LP: 4 Cards in Hand/ 1 on Field/ 5 in Graveyard/ 20 in Deck
Yugi holds out his hand for a handshake: Good game.
Joey scratches the back of his head as he shakes Yugi's hand: I think it was more luck on my part than anything, Yuges.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________A/N: One of the many downsides to keeping things as authentic as possible is that sometimes you just end up with boring duels. An upside is that sometimes even the boring ones have some little things that you can expand on for characterization, especially when poetic stuff happens by chance.
