Yugi, it's all right. We still have time. [ Of course he understands why Yugi's worried, when there's so much on the line for both of them, but they won't accomplish anything by rushing in blindly. By playing their cards right (literally), and acting decisively, they'll get the locator cards that they need, and then they'll be on their way to the final round.
Of course, if Yugi wants to keep their conversations to just them, he understands. The caution is warranted, even if the woman at the table is a friend of Solomon's. But no one aside from Yugi can hear him anyway, so he adds: ]
I suppose now isn't a good time to mention that I've seen her before.
[ He has to stop briefly then, because the conversation between Yugi, his grandfather, and Lunafreya continues. Although it doesn't involve him directly, aside from the mentions of the Puzzle, he can't help but listen closely, hoping to learn more about Lunafreya and about how Solomon first found the object.
When Yugi steps closer to him, however, he glances away from Solomon and Lunafreya, giving his friend a reassuring smile. Whatever is happening in this room, and whoever Lunafreya really is, he imagines that Solomon is smart enough to handle his own affairs and this situation.
And when Lunafreya finally names the connection between herself, her family, and Solomon, Atem looks as surprised as Yugi sounds. ]
What was it about Egypt that interested him so much? [ He hopes that question will eventually be answered by one of the two in the room, if not both. For the moment, at least for him, he's temporarily forgotten about needing to go to where the duels are being held. This conversation is riveting, even though he's only indirectly a part of it. ]
