[ It really does lighten Atem's own spirits to see Yugi smiling like that. As far as he's concerned, his partner deserves all the happiness in the world, and if he can help bring him even a litle bit of that, then there's very little that he wouldn't do for him. Yugi's always been adamant that as the keeper of the Puzzle, he has to take care of the spirit inside said Puzzle, but Atem also believes that that goes both ways. He has to take care of his partner as well, and he believes he hasn't done a very good job of that thus far. ]
But that's hardly fun for you, Yugi. He should play a match with both of us, if only to make it fair and to involve us both.
[ But then his smile returns, perhaps even wider than before. ]
To play against your grandfather would be the biggest honor, as is playing against you.
[ He doesn't want there to be any doubt in Yugi's mind: any opportunity that he gives him to engage with either his grandfather (something he hasn't done yet) or Yugi (always a privilege) is something he considers very special and values as such. ]
I suppose we'll need the help of Gentiana once more. I wonder if Luna will enjoy watching such a thing again. [ She might enjoy it more than she did their last one, at least. Something about that seemed to upset her, but perhaps he was reading too much into it. Part of him doubts that, however. ]
