[[There is a very fond, slightly wistful smile as Bakura nods]] He really is. No matter how many times people tried to kill him, he was always willing to try and reach out to them and be friends. Really, a lot of that game was based on all the things that had happened, between the Ring Spirit and Malik-kun and everything about the Nameless Pharaoh, so really, I'd expected that he would figure it out! Especially how everything went the first time they all came over to play...

[[There's a slight embarrassed note there as he rubs the back of his neck. That his friends had seen through the Ring Spirit's attempts to pretend to be him and reached out to free him from the Spirit's control...

He smiles with wistful fondness before shaking off the memories and focusing on his new friend in front of him.]]
