the yugioh wiki list of deaths is funny because its like a list of all the insane fucked things that happen in the manga and it's always like "was sent to the shadow realm in the 4kids anime" like the localization team looked at that and was like we're not even gonna go there

like what else would you even do with this

"I'd hope you wouldn't try your worst." Godling teased him tentatively. He'd had such a rocky relationship with Thief for so long it made him nervous to let the seriousness drop. "Do you want me to bring anything?"

Avatar

"Nah. Only bring yourself."

"Mm. They're not quite the same. And they don't have enough animal ones." He reported. "Thief- I'll love any food you make for me. But I would like steak. And cake for dessert."

Avatar

"Cake? I can try my best!"

"I'm not asking you to." He said softly, before realizing how that might sound and quickly blurting "You're welcome to. I mean. If you ever need me. But I don't want you to be uncomfortable. You can call my phone. Or text me. I've been learning to use the modern hieroglyphs." As always, learning human things pleased him and he was more than willing to boast. "You're cooking? What will you cook me?"

Avatar

"Modern hieroglyphs..." He laughed. "Anything you want. Steak?"

Godling interpreted it as positively as was humanly possible. He beamed to himself, pleased at having achieved his goal of Thief's comfort. "Thank you. I don't do many phone calls, mostly people pray to me then I go to see them. But this is good too. This is what humans do. So how was your day?"

Avatar

"It went well. I could pray to you, but... I suppose that's rather one sided." He sighed. "Mm... Maybe I should cook something for you. I'm good at it, now."

Avatar

"I wanted to talk to you without coming to your home or work." He sounded pleased at himself for his novel solution of a phone call. "So you would be comfortable."

Avatar

"That's very kind of you, Godling." Oof. He really sounded like a dad, didn't he? He was lucky Godling enjoyed praise and wouldn't interpret it badly, right?

Avatar

"Thief! Hello." His relieved smile was clear in his voice. "How are you?"

Avatar

"I'm well. I didn't expect you to call me..." It reminded him of when they first began dating.

Ryou's mouth twitched but he forced himself by sheer will not to drop the scowl or laugh. The spirit didn't have real humor anyway, it probably was just repeating something someone else said. "Why can't you just leave people alone?" It came out more pained than he intended and he flushed. "Why would you even do that?"

Avatar

"Leave people alone? She didn't have to marry me. She married me because she wanted to."
