Has anyone ever given up a memory of someone special and have them turn up later on? I found that happened to me recently and now I feel awful about it.

I feel like I hurt them so much by not being able to recognize them, yet can remember everything we did together. Because of this I don't know what to do. So I was wondering if anyone ever had such a thing happen how do you handle it?

Can things still be the same or will it forever be different?

[Yugi looked over slightly, well he's going to see what Atem actually knows and what he'll actually need to teach him.]

Okay, so here is the cash register. Can you tell me how you open it?

Press the button.

[ Because that's what Jii-chan did, after all. Of course, it was after ringing up a sale, but Yugi didn't ask that. ]

Which button or buttons?

[He knows he didn't add why they would need to, the working of the till was the top one to do after all.]

[ Atem frowns slightly at Yugi, but takes a step closer to the register to look at them. ]

The one that says 'cash.'

Correct. I guess you do know how to use it.

[Just to be sure he walked out from behind the counter for the moment to pick up something before placing it on the counter.]

Alright, now actually try using it.

[ Atem blinks, looking at Yugi down to the item and back to Yugi again. He nods once, reaching out to take the item and look at it, looking for some sort of price tag so he could figure out what he was suppose to type into the register.

It's a slow process and it takes Atem a few minutes, his eyes narrowing in concentration as he does it. He's seen it done hundreds of times, when he had nothing else to do other then hang out with Yugi and Jii-chan around the shop ~~sure he was a spirit then, but still~~. He can handle modern technology, really, even though other then the Duel Disks and the random other instances, he never really interacted with it much on his own.

But he was still a proud Pharaoh and he was determined to do this. ]

[Yugi just leant on the counter and watched, a small smile on his face. He knew better than to speak up or to interrupt the other. Besides he was doing a decent job of it so far, hadn't done anything wrong, which was a good thing.]

Well at least I'll be able to leave you alone here if I would ever need to.

Where you planning on going somewhere, Aibou?

If you want me to take breaks, I might go somewhere for that break now and again.

You should go more often then 'now and again.'

[ But Atem is pleased that Yugi trusts him enough with with the shop to do that. ]

It's a start at least, but we'll see.

[At least it's a step up from once in a blue moon.]

Because I know I can trust you to help out... If you want to of course. You don't have to.

Aibou...

[ He grins at the other boy. ]

Of course. Besides, I need to earn my keep, don't I? [ That sounds like the phrase he's supposed to use. ] And return the favor that you gave me when you solved the puzzle.

Well you don't have to, but most people do.

[He shook his head slightly.]

You know you don't need to return the favor you know.

I know, but I want to.

[ His expression sobers. ]

You've been through a lot since you released me, Aibou. At least let me do this.

[He nodded slightly.]

I will, I mean after all... I guess you need to do something. Oh! Unless you want to see the other cities, we could do that at some point.

I do, eventually.

[ He does, because for as long as he can remember, everything had been about stopping the games and finding his memories and now they've done all that and he's still here, so... yes. He does need something to do. ]

Then on my day off we'll go see one of them. Either your choice, or would you want me to pick?

[Because he isn't sure if Atem knows what the cities are.]

You pick.

[ Because Yugi would be right. Atem was more concerned about finding his Aibou and what the heck just happened why am I alive all of a sudden to really worry about reading the brochures or anything like that. ]

Okay, then I guess we'll start with Fayren and then work our way around.

[That seemed easy enough to start with. Magic was a thing and well the Hands of Decay was a thing also, so it was best to do it first and ust get it out of the way.]

[ Atem nods. ]

If that's what you think is best.

I wouldn't say it's the best, but it's just a good idea to get it out of the way first.

[He just smiled, pausing for a moment.]

I'm wondering if I should close up shop for today.

Why's that?

[ Atem ponders that for a moment. ]

Is today one of your busier days?

Edited 2016-06-04 21:56 (UTC)

Because of the Hands of Decay. I wouldn't want to spend too long in there for that reason.

[He shakes his head slightly.]

It's one of the quieter ones.

Hands of Decay?

[ Oh why is he getting the feeling that he should have actually paid more attention when he got here. ]

Yeah. How do I explain it because I don't know an awful lot. But it seems they are a group who hate people who can use magic.
