[This is the second time this week he's thrown a blanket of some kind around someone's shoulders and let himself be leaned on. It's chill. It's good to hear that kind of giddy laugh -- since things have been so heavy. Even if there isn't anything else he can do for Marik, to help set this right (and Atem's not sold on that, he'll be thinking about how to handle this), at least he's offered this peace of mind, at least he's set this much straight.
An arm goes around Marik's shoulders, and Marik will be guided down onto one of the chairs around the coffin table.]
You'd better sit down...
[Not that it isn't a lot for Atem, too. God. Heated incisions, again and again and again...some of his snakes twitch angrily, but the majority of the hissing seems to have calmed. Have a sit with a blanket, work through your feelings in this goth little apartment with its eyeball throw pillows and mismatched skulls.
Maybe? Maybe now they can work on using his name? Atem? Not "Pharaoh"?
...
Maybe he should give Marik a little more time to process. Soon, though! He thinks it'll help with the whole...cult...thing.]
