Mun?

I know you're excited about this and everything, but shouldn't you be resting instead of having worried about me? It could have waited until you were better, you won't even hear back on anything until the week after this one anyway, so there really was no need for the rush.

However, I do appreciate that you did go through with it and that you have decided to play me again, it's been a long time that I've been asleep. To be awake again and to be able to do these sorts of things once more makes me a lot happier than I could accurately describe.

I would appreciate it if you wouldn't think it absolutely hilarious that he wouldn't recognize me and would deny that my kha was what it was, though. That you wouldn't laugh at him denying that that's who he used to be, it's not a nice thing to do. Not that you have a record for being nice, that is.

Go back to resting and watching videos as you don't have anything else weighing on your mind right now.

((Ahaha. Wrist problems, forgive slow tags. Also trying to adjust back to her voice a bit better, forgive any oddness that comes with it.))

He won't and it's best to stay away from him. It isn't funny, either. [He is not looking forward to that and KNOWS EXACTLY WHO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT who else could it be.]

[ahew_kha]

[It could be some other guy that has a blue eyed and white dragon, except that those don't exist. Welp.] I don't see why it'd be best to stay away from him, he's still technically the same person even if it's in the future, right? There's got to be something there that will trigger a memory or at least understanding. [Have fun with the optimist, Atem, this is probably why everything will end awfully.]

[note_atem]

No. [Just a big flat no.] He isn't the same person. [He's really not. The soul might be the same but Kaiba and Set are two completely different people. He would know, he's lived lifetimes with both now.] And he won't tolerate your presence. He wants nothing to do with the past. [Super srs because he wants to help her and the only way to do that is to KEEP HER THE HELL AWAY FROM HIM]

[ahew_kha]

[Good luck with that, Atem, there's this curiosity that she has to quell in some way. Whether that ends with well is... unlikely, of course. But for the time being she seems moderately content in not pushing the situation any further.] Seems like a waste to me if it would make him stronger in the long run, but you know more about this... future him than I do. [A brief pause, hng.] You look a lot different than I remember, as well.

[note_atem]

[Sadly he doesn't even remember or know a lot about her. But he was Pharaoh everyone probably knew his face at some point.]

This is not Egypt any longer. A long time has passed. [Because that's an explanation?]

[ahew_kha]

[Worst. Explanation. Ever.

Even those that weren't even really citizens of anything would know of his face by now to some extent.]

I've heard, though it doesn't really explain how any of this is possible. Not that... a lot of the world made any sense while I was alive around.

[note_atem]

It will make less sense now, and even less when you arrive on the ship.

[ahew_kha]

Aah, more work but it will hopefully be worth it. Even if it's going to be... difficult to understand anyone there or anything written, for that matter.

[note_atem]

The ship comes with something that will be able to translate for you. You at least won't have any trouble there. Writing is a bit more complicated.

[ahew_kha]

[Hah. Haha. Writing.] Hopefully that won't be necessary for me to do, because that's... not... really possible. [So comes the issues with her previous status, oh well, she'll just draw pictures or something.]

[note_atem]

Not- [Huh? ...oh. Right. That.. makes sense. He frowns thinking about it- about her. She's had it tough. He really doesn't know what that's like. He grew up in a palace.] People on the ship will teach you if you ask. I can teach you. [It's really the least he can do.]

[ahew_kha]

[She wouldn't wish it on anyone, to be completely fair. People have different paths and what they're born with is just what they have to get used to. As for the offer she frowns a bit at him, looking away at the ground.]

You don't have to, really. I'm sure there's other ways, if I need it.

[note_atem]

[Well this isn't totally awkward. But if she doesn't want him to meddle he won't.]

There's a school. You could go there instead.

[ahew_kha]

That would be my best bet, there's no reason for me to burden you. I'm sure you have bigger and more important things to worry about, after all. [How she manages to say that with a smile she's not even sure.]

[note_atem]

[There's a tight frown. She's putting him in an uncomfortable place. He wants to help her but they're not really friends. They've never even spoken. His desire comes from the fact that she helped them- and gave purpose to his Priest.]

You are important.

[ahew_kha]

[Really, she didn't mean to, it's just something she's got a bad habit of doing. Keeping low-key, not causing problems, things of that particular nature.]

Not in this case. You have your hands full with dealing with a change and with this is but isn't version of Set, correct?

[note_atem]

I've been there for two years. I've known Kaiba for longer than that. [Pretty used to his asshattery by now.]

[ahew_kha]

[... There goes any hope of finding something more important to worry about than her.] I guess so. It just seems strange for you to spend your time helping me of all people.
