[Now, if this had been back when Marik first arrived, he wouldn't think anything of it. That's the thing though. He's thought about it. Too much, perhaps. That's what happens when you're left by yourself for an extended amount of time with only animal companions to talk to. How everyone just forgave him for everything so easily. How he didn't actually feel sorry for what he had done, just sorry that his other personality got in the way and muddied things up. Like catching a kid with their hand in the cookie jar. You know they didn't regret it. That just meant they needed to be more prepared next time.
There was one scenario he didn't really put much thought into though: How he might go about the handling of people from his world if they started showing up. He'd just convinced himself it would never happen.
But it did. Kaiba wasn't a huge inconvenience for him. Things had turned out really well between them but then again, they hadn't really directed interacted much due to him getting kicked out of his body before the Finals so outside of a few things, it's been an easy relationship to... mend? Grow? Whatever term fits it, he's not sure.
The Pharaoh on the other hand. Combine that with the fact that he has no idea what time he's from and Marik finds himself worrying far too much than he probably should be. Things will... be alright, right? Just like nothing happened. Not like he tried to kill him and his friends or steal the God Cards or anything. Right?
Marik suddenly regrets wearing a leather jacket because it feels gross on clammy skin.
He sits silent, pale (as pale as someone of his complexion can be), inner monologuing with himself for what feels like an eternity but it's only for about a minute or so.

He really shouldn't be worried.]
