fifteenth duel; [video/action]

[pintsizeduelist]

[The LP clicks on, and for a moment, you see Yuugi sitting at a desk, still in Atem's apartment. He seems to be hard at work on... something.. drawing, perhaps? Occasionally, he taps a purple crayon to his chin thoughtfully before resuming.

Then, he glances back down to the LP, blinks with surprise, and then.. smiles. Almost tiredly, but.]Alice is

[comes up next to him.] ...whatcha doin'?

[pintsizeduelist]

[He stops, sets the crayon down, and smiles to her.]

Just trying to draw something.

[chibibloodluver]

[Tries to crawl into his lap.]...Can I see?

[pintsizeduelist]

But it's for you. It'll ruin the surprise, won't it?

[oomoon_rabbitoo]

[It takes a while but she replies.]

...I...I'm not upset....Yuugi-kun.

[pintsizeduelist]

[Pause. There's a pause, no scratching of crayons on paper so he's just.. thoughtfully silent.]

Good. [Kind of wary, as if he doesn't fully believe her, but he half smiles anyway.] I'm glad.

[oomoon_rabbitoo]

..[This...is sort of awkward...]

...I thought you wouldn't remember...but...

I'm really glad you're back.

[pintsizeduelist]

....I do. I mean, it took a while, but.. I do.

[Colorcolorcolor.]

Me too.

[And he means it, to a point. MORE AWKWARD PAUSE as he tries to think of what to say.]

How have you been?

[soinlovewith2]

Alice is gone?

[Video]

[pintsizeduelist]

...Yeah, I can't find her signal anymore.

[Video] HI HTML 8D

[soinlovewith2]

But...that can't be right...

She's been here for so long a-and...and even...[Wait.

Wait.

Wait.]

I see. Thank you.

[Video] LOL 8D

[pintsizeduelist]

...I'm sorry.

[Yay more guilt! He hates being the bringer of bad news.]

[crimsonguarddog]

They are still, but it is not as alarming now. [Kind of, anyway.]

...You may just call me Cissnei, if you wish.

[pintsizeduelist]

They'll only be around for a few more days. [Have some optimism, Cissnei!]

...ahh.. does it.. bother you, if I call you that? [He means the honorific.]

[crimsonguarddog]

Usually just a week, I know.

Not...bother. It is a personal preference. [No need for a honorific to a dishonest name.]

[pintsizeduelist]

...I'm sorry if they bother you, though.

[...oh. Okay.] Okay.. I won't use it again.

[i_am_kagome]

I'm glad that you're back Yuugi. I know Atem must be happy.

[pintsizeduelist]

Nn. Thanks, Kagome.

...probably.

[i_am_kagome]

Of course! You're my friend and its nice to know that you're still around.

[pintsizeduelist]

Being around and being here are kind of... different.
