[Ryou Bakura, he has seen the guidebook for Monster World. You are bookish when you care about what the book will let you do, and you're not afraid of a lot of fiddly details and math. On top of that, Atem thinks, Ryou's used to making small things that are representations of others...that's what sympathetic magic calls for. His skill set is very suited to heka.

Then, Ryou cracks that joke, and Atem's eyes widen, a flush creeping up his face for a moment. Ryou--! Really!

But it only takes a moment for Atem to recover from the surprise of a comment that mischievous, and a second later, he's bounced back, leaning in and grinning.]

Definitely not! I wouldn't collect an unusually beautiful concubine--

[He pushes Ryou onto his back, following so his head and shoulders are above him.]

--and keep him hidden away nowhere important. No -- you'd be a king's-wife, by my side! And I'd be the envy of everyone who saw you.

[One of his fingers runs down Ryou's nose, a playful stroke from the bridge to the tip.]

Unless you'd prefer a quiet life away from the court. But we wouldn't see each other as often, then.
