the recognition of the voice is instantaneous, and seto's head jerks up immediately to look in atem's direction. he nearly drops the (stupid) device, but catches it quickly with a hand. for a split second, his expression wavers from the carefully schooled detachment to one of genuine surprise.
yuugi - well, atem, is gone. or, well, is supposed to be. there's a sudden rush of emotion that nearly rises to the surface, a veritable wave of unsaid things that should have been spoken before the ceremonial dual had taken place. to find him here, of all places -- this bizarre prison of seasons and emotions... a stray thought filters through his mind that perhaps seto is dead, too, but he quickly dismisses that as irrational. after all, that doesn't explain the intricacies of the world. and atem himself referred to their captives as natives; surely he would tell seto if he were dead. probably.
he opens his mouth to say something like i'm glad you're here or it's good to see you and instead: ]
i should've just said "when the ghost died (again)" would've been more clear LOL (1/2)
