[ Yugi would argue that Atem can't shield him from it forever. Pegasus already barged in and stole his Grandpa's soul. Malik controlled their friends through the Millennium Rod. Bakura had been possessed by the evil of the Millennium Ring. He can't sit by and let his best friend be the only one of them to keep fighting against all these ancient mystical items. He has to do something eventually too. ]
He probably would. I just don't know how to ask.
[ Bringing up the subject of dead friends seems like digging at a wound. It isn't necessarily awkward, but, he doesn't know the best way to go about it. Just like he has no idea how to go about really talking to his other self about his country of origin. Even two thousand years ago is ancient history -- things to be talked about in the past tense.
But, how long ago does that feel to Atem? ]
... Yeah. I guess she'd rather take control of the situation then be shown off as a conquered monarch. [ Still, he imagines that must not come off as the best way for a fellow king to pass away. Maybe old age, or battle, or even illness would have been better.
There's more to it, but, Yugi doesn't want to share it. Cleopatra's heir was killed just two weeks later. That is really the end of the line of Pharaohs, but, the heir was never properly crowned. Which means everything else about that civilization just... slowly died off.
He watches his best friend go through the emotions. Sometimes he wishes Atem wouldn't fall back into the dignified role of a Pharaoh around him. But, can he really help that? It might just be so ingrained him that he can't help it. ]
You had to be Pharaoh before her though. We just need to figure out when that could of been. [ Because, he's determined not to leave it on a sour note. The whole situation is sad, but, that doesn't mean that what happened to Cleopatra is the end of their journey.
He clicks back to the search engine and types the next name. It takes a few times, because the name is even more exotic than Cleopatra's. Though, once he's sure he has the spelling right, he puts the name in: γγΏγ³γ«γΌγ‘γ³. Instantly the search brings up a brilliant golden death mask. ]
I think he's even more famous than Cleopatra. [ Yugi points to the mask. Of course he knows a little of it, but, he can't imagine it's easy for Atem to see his heritage and culture on display behind glass or in pictures. ] King Tutankhamun--[ his face scrunches up as he knows he's said that wrong, ]--and they've shown him around museums everywhere.
[ He clicks on a link before looking everything over. It matches more or less with what he's heard of in the past. ]
They called him "The Boy Pharaoh." He was only nineteen when he died.[ which sends a shiver up his spine. That's only three years older than him. ] But, that's not why he's famous.
i won :D swap and do the dishes
