Well, that was a loaded question. Kaiba folded his fingers together, considering just what he could say to the pharaoh. Believe it or not, he didn't want to hurt him. Just from what little he'd inadvertently revealed, he knew his rival had to be reeling from it all.

"He's an excellent duelist," Kaiba began, because that was clearly the most important quality about any person. "We've reached an understanding of sorts after all this time. He still has his friends...and I may take him on as a business partner soon, if I can save myself from this nightmare. He has a clear passion and creativity when it comes to gaming."

Thinking about a future at least gives him hope that this magical nonsense will end soon. But on the other hand...he's not all that eager to leave Atem, now that he's finally found him again. Isn't this what he was looking for?

But that then raised another awkward question. Back then, he'd always called the pharaoh 'Yugi', refusing to acknowledge them as separate people. It seemed especially cruel to call him that when they both knew Yugi wasn't present, but...what else to call him? It was dangerous to tell him his true name, wasn't it? He'd have to work out the pharaoh's opinion on the matter.

"What name should I call you?"
