[ That is a question that Atem has often wondered about, but it seems to him that if such a thing is possible, it isn't something he's experienced. Yes, he's seen Egyptian relics in a museum, but none of those really brought old memories to mind. In fact, the only times he can recall seeing images from the past is when one Millennium Item or another was activated and something mystical and inexplicable happened.
But he has no personal memories of his own, and that is something that bothers him more than he cares to let on about.
But then he chuckles with amusement. ]
I'm sure that if you asked Kaiba, he would not use those exact words.
[ Annoyance, a headache, a thorn in his side- those all seem more like words Seto Kaiba would use to describe their relationship, or the lack of one. ]

[ He gives her a thoughtful look. ]
There has been no one who's spurred you to expand your own horizons? [ That's unfortunate, but he also knows that it's possible for people to be their own motivation and driving force.

I agree with you, but- [ He hesitates then, wondering how much about himself and his arrangement with Yugi he ought to share.
So instead, he focuses in on his gaffe with the tea, realizing that she's most likely questioning why he's so seemingly inexperienced or at least unaware of how to properly hold a mug. ]
I understand. [ And then he does as she's explained, finding that this method works much better. ] Thank you.
