[ It's a logical conclusion to make: some form of trouble, or at the very least, excitement, seems to follow those who hold a Millennium Item. But Atem's been resolved for a long time to try and shield Yugi from as much trouble as he can. Trouble may come to them all, but if there's anything he can do to protect his partner, he's going to try. The last thing he wants is to see Yugi hurt or worse. ]
Well, maybe when the two of you have some time, you could ask him about it. I'm sure that if he knew you had questions, he would try and answer them.
[ Yugi's grandfather has always seemed like a polite sort of person, and of course, it's clear that he cares a lot about Yugi. So it's easy for Atem to imagine that he wouldn't mind answering his questions.
But then Yugi resumes reading off the information about Cleopatra and what happened to her, and Atem falls silent so he can listen properly. When Yugi goes quiet in turn, he glances at him, eyebrows raised. ]
Is something the matter? [ But then he continues, and he just resumes listening as Yugi reads. ]
She killed herself? [ He frowns at that, not because he doesn't understand, but because he's already put it together: if she was the last Pharaoh, then that means the ruling line came to an end with her death, and so did the kingdom.
He looks at the picture of modern Alexandria, and then he folds his hands together with a sigh. Whatever he was expecting to learn from this search, that wasn't it.
But he realizes that Yugi is still looking at him, and he straightens himself up, his customary neutral expression falling back into place. ]
It isn't your fault, Yugi. You couldn't have known.
[ Neither could he, but for reasons he doesn't quite understand, the revelation that the last Pharaoh died and the kingdom came to an end has shocked him more than he'd expected it would. ]
sputter sputter Yugi what did you just do?! /there's a soap bubble on his nose, thanks for that
