Luckily, Kaiba's not experienced enough in dealing with emotions on the regular to realize what Marik is experiencing. He gently pats his friend's shoulder once more before letting go, taking a deep breath. This is real, then. They're friends.
"Think you'll be able to sleep well?" he asks, soft and just a little awkward. He's worried he might've stirred something up back there.
The Egyptian nods and moves off of Kaiba's bed, pulling the sheets back to climb into his own. Chenzira climbs over to rest on his trainer's chest and sprawl out.
He debates asking the other what he's thanking him for. He didn't really do anything in his eyes. Unless Kaiba's admitting it did him good to get that all off of his chest as well. Whatever the reason Marik smiles over at his friend, idly patting Chen's back. "Night, Kaiba."

Kaiba helped him immensely today. He hopes... that he was able to return the favor, even if just a little.

"...I'll be fine. Make sure you get your rest now before we hit the road again."
And he'll carefully crawl into bed beside Selene, laughing as the little Eevee snuggles up to him. Everything's surprisingly fine.
"Good night you two. And...thanks."
