"Heh. We can try...but yeah, let's have a good night."
Kaiba can agree to that. He stands up and stretches, offering his hand to Marik. They can face the rest later...
...well, maybe later that night. After a lavish dinner for both humans and Pokémon, Kaiba settles into the hotel room with a quiet sigh of contentment. He sits on one of the beds with Selene the Eevee on his lap, settling in to brush her. She might not be big enough to battle yet, but she's a calming presence.
He looks over at Marik as he brushes, seeming to consider whether he wants to speak before...hm, he'll just do it.
"I've been thinking a lot about earlier. I'm...actually not as put-together as you think I am. I felt a connection to you in part because I'm a mess too, and I don't think anyone except maybe the Pharaoh and Yugi's group know just how deep the hole is that I've been trying to claw myself out of. I've...had to atone too. And sometimes I'm not sure if the person I am is even authentic, or it's just another lie."
He stops to consider Marik's reaction. He can keep it more surface level or go deeper, either way...Selene looks up at him with sad eyes, but he gently brushes her ears. It's okay.
