Kyon was watching an unusually content Haruhi silently surf the Internet at her SOS Brigade computer while wearing her bunny-girl outfit.

Itsuki noticed Kyon staring at her. "Kyon? A yen for your thoughts," Itsuki whispered.

"Have you heard that old line," Kyon whispered without looking away, "about women being attractive until they open their mouths?"

As if on cue, Haruhi also noticed Kyon staring at her. "What do you want, you idiot!?" she snapped.

"Just because a stereotype is demeaning and unacceptable in general," Itsuki said, "that doesn't mean it isn't applicable in a specific case."

"Thank you," Kyon said.
