[ Atem would be the first to say that Yugi does far more than just stand beside him and give him the use of his body. He's not just a vessel that he uses when he feels like it; he's his friend, his partner, and in so many ways, his brother too: the brother he never had.
When Yugi smiles, Atem's own smile grows wider. He wants to see Yugi be happy, and wishes he didn't have to carry the worries that he does because of their involvement with this card game and the often unexpected dangers it brings along. But he supposes that one can't have a life that's worth living and not have a little bit of danger. ]
I wonder... I suppose that in a way, she might have, and if it all had to end, at least she could make sure it ended on her terms. If I were in her position, I might have done the same, however hard it would be to make that choice.
[ He's not overly pleased to learn that the kingdom ended, even if he can't remember living there, much less being its Pharaoh at one time. But to go on living in thrall to another? He doesn't think he could do it, so he thinks he understands Cleopatra's choice. ]
Yugi, I appreciate your determination, but nothing may come of this search. [ He doesn't wish to dissuade him entirely, but how are they supposed to find anything of significance when neither of them have anything concrete to go off of?
His train of thought is momentarily distracted as Yugi launches into an explanation about what he knows about archaeology and how it relates to Tutankhamun. ]
I see. [ He taps a finger against his chin a few times while pondering the implications of all this. He supposes that on one hand, he can understand why archaeologists would want to try and learn anything they could about the past and its history. Isn't that what they're trying to do now? Not with shovels, of course, but with Yugi's computer.
He looks at the pictures that Yugi points out, peering closely to examine every detail that he can see. The notion of grave robbers makes him frown, but at least this particular Pharaoh's tomb remained untouched until the researchers found it. ]
I can't help but wonder why they decided to make that change. [ He still has no memory of his past life, so of course, there's no reason why anything should spark recognition in his mind, but something about the Valley of the Kings resonates with him, without him really knowing why. It most likely is nothing, but he finds himself drawn to the picture on the screen. ]
I- [ He cuts himself off before he gets too far, trailing off into silence again, because surely the thought that's come to mind is a far-fetched one at best. Yugi mentioned grave robbers before, so he supposes it's fairly likely that if he did have one, it's been ransacked by now. Not that he'd know enough to identify it as his. ]
yes, yes, enjoy it, Yugi.
