[ For his part, Atem remains where he is, but he watches Yugi's movements carefully and closely, as though he might miss something important if he looks away for even one second. ]
Yes, I remember you mentioning that to me once. [ Clearly this room and these shelves hold a special meaning to Yugi, and because of that, they're important to Atem as well. If Yugi hadn't been so curious about that solid gold box, and so determined to sneak it out of the room, let alone so determined to solve the Puzzle, they might have never met. And that's a thought that Atem doesn't even want to think about. ]
Well, then, I suppose that it's time that we give him that chance, if you're certain that's what he'd want.
[ Perhaps if he weren't only a spirit residing in a mystical item, they might have more of a chance to meet him in other settings, but there's very little use in wishing for what doesn't seem possible at this time. His connection to the Puzzle can't be dislodged, so yes, in that sense, playing against him in a game or a duel is the only way for others to get to know him. ]
You're right, she didn't. [ There's a part of him that feels some measure of guilt or regret about that, even though he knows she'd tell him not to feel that way if she knew about his feelings. ] I would like to see her. [ He can admit that and be honest about it. ]
But as you said, she is the Oracle, and as such, she must be very busy. I wouldn't want to distract her.
[ At Yugi's words, Atem draws his arms in until they're crossed in front of him. ]
I suppose there's no harm in asking if she'd be willing. [ It may or may not be on purpose that he doesn't comment on the last part of Yugi's sentence. Of course seeing them all come back together is something he wants, but he won't force Luna into it either. ]
