[ The scene shifts quickly enough, with Gentiana acting decisively, and Umbra following suit like the loyal companion that he is. But Atem's attentions are still on the girl in his arms, but also on his partner. There's something about his posture and the look in his eyes that worries him. Freeing one of his hands, he reaches out for him so that he can give him a squeeze on his shoulder.
Before he answers his question, he asks one of his own. 'Are you all right, Yugi?' It's their responsibility as partners to look out for each other, and he intends to continue doing that, even in the midst of situations like this one.
He nods his agreement with Gentiana's decision, because it's clear that Lunafreya really needs to rest, and he doesn't want to keep her from that any more than he already has. Finally, once Gentiana and Umbra have left and Pryna has moved herself to curl up on one of the couches, that's when Atem answers Yugi.
'If it's all right with you, I would like to stay with her, at least for this evening. If not, if you have other plans in mind, I understand.' It's his desire to stay by Lunafreya's side, but he won't encroach on Yugi's right to go about his own business, no matter how much he feels compelled to remain with her. ]
