Shadow had paused, and listened to Yugi explain about friendships. In her mind, the genie thought that friendships, for her, were impossible, especially when it involved the whole master-servant scene. However, for Yugi to offer in becoming her first friend, she took a moment to think about it. The boy has been so kind, so helpful, and seemed to very, very understanding; almost forgiving. He [i]must[/i] be that pure. 

She didn't have time to answer, when the commotion of the duel became too much in between Mai and Joey. She knew that Mai was trouble all over; a red flag. In a way, the genie was glad that Yugi had managed to reassure her that Mai was never going to be the top priority. She did learn that he wasn't comfortable in talking to girls in that kind of fashion, and that he was only focused on the task at-hand to rescue his grandfather. 

It was gonna take some time, until she can get these negative feelings to dissipate, since she just learned about these things. For Mai to currently be before them, it wasn't exactly helping, but she will pull herself through, eventually. As soon as she sensed the transition of Yami coming forth, Shadow felt her transparent figure become solid, yet remain unnoticeable to the other humans, except Jaden. "If you happened to be listening, I managed to tell him", she said to the spirit, with a more confident expression. Maybe Yugi was right; maybe all three of them can be friends, despite the fact of her current position as a servant. In truth, the boy didn't want her to be left out and neglected, so he wanted to get to know her more. 

Knowing that the spirit had the outside under control, Shadow faded from his side, and back into the Puzzle, reappearing before Yugi in his soul room; once again, in the form of the same teenaged girl, smiling down at him. "Yugi", she began, before sat down on the bed. She was starting to like calling him by his name, regardless that it wasn't exactly a proper way to address the person, who is your master. "I'd like to know what it's like to have a true friend", she said. "I accept your offer".
