Shadow Djinn was listening to him, carefully taking in his words, and tried to calm down. Remarkably, Yami was [i]reassuring[/i] her; Pegasus, or any her previous masters in the past, have never expressed that towards her, especially since she was a 'servant' -- a slave, of some sort. Divine subtly did, but it was difficult, since she's always summoned to grant wishes every now and then. She never got a warning, or an upcoming sign, that her presence would be requested, and this made her leave Shadow behind to tend to her duties. That thought, however, made her think: [i]'What if she's in his deck right now?'[/i]

"Certainly. Let's begin", she heard her previous master announce, before the timer began to count down from fifteen minutes. She wanted to know -- no, she [i]demanded[/i] to know. Does he have her? Shadow's transparent form appeared behind Yami, noticeable if one looked over his shoulder. She wasn't cowering, but she did try to suck it up, at least. She never felt such vulnerability. 

"Nervous, Djinni?", the white-haired taunted, while laying down a face-down; all Shadow could do was narrow her eyes, trying to show courage. "You should be too, little Yugi, you've never faced a duelist like me", Pegasus was intimidating, but it wasn't gonna stop Shadow from showing a hint of anger. [i]"He's threatened by you, Yami"[/i], she hissed to him, insisting. What's really interesting, is the ability in her whispers: she planted the command into his head, and made him think that he himself came up with it.
