Watching his Apprentice at work, and the end result had him sighing as Mana was running after the Hound. Shaking his head, he made his way in the direction that Mana ran off to catch the hound. "Atleast it will still do the job Mana asked of it." He says more to himself. 

Atem seemed within deep thought, so much running through his mind as he aimlessly was going toward his chambers. Pulled out of his thoughts by the sound of a bark, he sees a spirit of a hound which confused him. It took him a moment after looking around to studying the hound that it wanted him follow. "Alright. Lead on." He follows the hound. 

Ending up in the palace gardens, Atem noticed someone at the fountain. Observing the figure, noticed that it was his newly appointed Shadow. Walking further into the gardens, he noticed that she looked to be cleaning a wound she had gotten. "Is everything alright?" He asks her.

"She was going through the same as I. To be put in a position before getting to mourn your loved one properly." Yami muttered sadly. 

"I've been trying to piece it together...so Yami is more like an adopted brother? Not biological? Also, did you ever realize how much a genius you are?" She then noticed what she said and blushed before looking away.
