Hmm, maybe it'd help to spend more time with your Vulpix alone? And- don't worry about that. I haven't been cleaning enough with or without Grimer...

[Actually, he probably needed to sit down and talk with Malik about the cleaning, and extra space, and everything else Bakura leaving's brought up... But even without the very real excuse of babysitting, he's not jumping to the topic.

But, kitchen slime aside, you have Yuugi's attention, Mr. Ishtar.]

Er- Of course! I mean, if it's yours it's living with me, too.

[But what could make Malik pause? Is it that shocking, or... something else.]
