[ Seto always smiles when he hears Mokuba's voice. ]

I'll take a look.

[ He steps out, eyes immediately zeroing in on the familiar drawing. He swallows hard as he touches the frame reverently. After a moment, he calls again. ]

...When will you be back? I want to see you.

[heartofthedragon]

I was trying to get the real Blue Eyes back for you... but I guess I wasn't specific enough and I found that instead.

I'm just outside! I've been working on my shifting.

[blue_ice]

Be right there.

[ And as soon as Seto steps outside, he hurries to Mokuba and sweeps him into a tight hug. He's visibly emotional. ]

...Thank you. You don't know how much I needed to see that old drawing today.

[heartofthedragon]

[ Mokuba gets a little flustered by the hug, cheeks turning pink. He's not used to Seto being so affectionate... but he still enjoys it very much so it only takes a moment for him to quickly hug his brother back.

Seeing him that emotional and hearing those words... Mokuba can't help but ask... ] Is everything okay...?

[blue_ice]

[ Seto looks a little embarrassed at being caught. He hates to worry Mokuba, but his brother deserves honesty. ]

...I had a nightmare last night. About Gozaburo. He was...lashing out at me like he did back then.

[heartofthedragon]

Oh. [ Mokuba goes a little quiet, unsure of what to say to help. He didn't know Seto still had dreams about that... But he tries to help cheer him up anyway. ] Sometimes dreams can be really scary, huh... Good thing that's all they are, just dreams!

[ For a moment, he has the flashing thought of wondering if Gozaburo could ever turn up here... or anyone else they've ever faced that was scary... It's always a possibility, he can't deny that, but... even if someone does, they'll get through it, just like they have everything else before. ]

[blue_ice]

You're right, Mokuba.

[ Seto smiles softly at him...but he's getting older now, so maybe he can be a little more honest. ]

He was telling me that he hated the person I've become. No surprise, right? But he told me that I was being a fool, and that I'll end up worse off when this is over. But he's wrong.

I must've been thinking about how much life's changed. It's not a bad thing, right?

[heartofthedragon]

[ Mokuba scowls as he pictures their stepfather saying those words. ] No surprise there. He should have looked in a mirror and figured out who the fool really was. [ He grins at Seto proudly. ] You're the one who got the company in the end!

I think everything's been changing for the better. What do you think?

[blue_ice]

Yeah, definitely. It's still a lot to get used to, but...this is where I want to be.

[ He grins. ]

So next on my list is getting you a CapMon board. I'll let you lead the way on that.

[heartofthedragon]

[ Mokuba brightens at the mention of CapMon and he does a fist pump into the air. ] Yeah! I've been using chess pieces to make monsters of the ones I remember so I can add a base set to your game library! But having a real set would be awesome!

[blue_ice]

I'll get it as soon as I can. The crystal's fickle a lot of the time.

But I'd love to see you play.

[heartofthedragon]

Only if you're the first person to play with me!

Do you think you'll ever get any things for Duel Monsters back here?

[blue_ice]

It's on the list. But I'll have to push myself to make it happen.

Nothing will stop me from dueling again, though.

[heartofthedragon]

You've changed a lot since coming here but I can't imagine you never dueling again. Glad to hear it!
