WELCOME TO YOUR PRIVATE CHANNEL, WhiteWizard. FOR SECURE COMMUNICATION, USE 007.80.751.19 *** WhiteWizard has joined 007.80.751.19 <WhiteWizard> Hello, this is Ryou Bakura! <WhiteWizard> Feel free to reach out to me if you need anything. :) <WhiteWizard> I will get back to you as soon as possible. | ||||

It's at the corner of [ADDRESS REDACTED]. We'll meet there if we get separated.
[Then, rendezvous point set...it's time to fast-travel. The other Yugi takes off at a run, ramping the pace up slow enough that Ryou doesn't lose sight of him immediately, but in a few moments, he'll just be a blur.]
no subject
By the time the other Yugi arrives, Ryou himself will be a fair bit of distance behind. He doesn't get lost since he has an address, however. Eventually he finds a shadow being cast by a nearby building and rises out of it like a specter, solidifying quickly afterwards. Somehow, he finds himself out of breath. Not from running of course, but from the expended effort of using his powers.
Even then...he's unusually unbothered.]
You move pretty quickly, Yugi. I guess I really don't know the extent of your powers yet.
[To be fair, apparently Ryou doesn't know the limitations of his own.]
no subject
Well, there's a lot I can't do. I don't have wings, or webs, or poison, and I've got a very common elemental weakness! So, the speed helps to even it out.
[Because everyone starts at level one, right? Because this is a game, and it's got to be even.
But, he wonders....and he wonders how to put this, since he and Ryou haven't really discussed Ryou's eating habits....]
Have you been by here before?
no subject
One, I'll leave it in an open area where it can be found. That dispels any misconceptions of what happened to the person, at least that's what I go for. Or two, I'll find another monster to offer it to.
[He inclines his head to the side and lets his eyes close, giving him a thoughtful appearance as he crosses his arms.]
I used to try and put them somewhere peaceful. I even tried to dig a grave once. The truth is though, I'm never too sure what's the right thing to do. All I know is that any option is better than what I did during my first feeding.
[Perhaps that was volunteering too much information. Ryou doesn't care though, he wanted to give as clear an answer as possible, and the consequences don't feel as if they'll affect him here.
He's completely distant from how callous everything sounded.]
no subject
He doesn't envy soul feeders.]
....
Do you want to tell me about it?
It's fine if you don't.
no subject
I would like to talk about it, yes. But I don't think...we should talk about it now. It would be a disservice to what happened to who I hurt, and all the other monsters that were hurt that month, and also...me, I suppose.
[Maybe another time. When he can feel the weight of his words.]
no subject
[He puts a hand on Ryou's arm, with no idea if it'll be reassuring or not, since emotions and physical contact are often intertwined but not always the same. He does it anyway, though.]
For now, let's go home.
[He'll figure out his next move there.]
no subject
Thank you, Yugi. Your patience is very much appreciated.
[He won't harp on how he knows it's hard, he already did that once and he's not full of ultimate anxiety like he usually is. Lucky for you, other Yugi. Ryou's pretty compliant.]
Alright, home it is.
[...Too compliant.]
