Recovering...

[milleniumkeeper]

Hi guys. I'm sorry this entry has to be so short and plain, but I can only write with my left hand, and not only is it difficult, it's slow.

I'm not going to explain what exactly happened to me because I'm sure Yugi explained it to you already, and if he lft anything out, he did it because he knows I don't want you to know those details. And don't

*smiles as he knocks on the door, feeling that there may be a chance that his smile would be in vain, but he has to try anyway* Knock, knock. It's me, you're everlasting Gobstopper. *holding a giant teddy bear with bunny ears and goggles and a biker's jacket with a pink rabbit embroidered on the back that says, Ride to Thump and Thumb to Ride*

[milleniumkeeper]

(OOC: Oh... my God. I just got SO truamtized. I only got to the word 'gobstoper' before I nearly had a heart attack. *takes deep breaths* ... Alright, I'm okay now. I just wasn't expecting such... Christmas cheer?)

*reconizes his voice and almost springs up in bed in joy, but he can't since his arm is still tied to his torso* Pegasus?! PEGASUS!! You're here! Come in! COME IN!!

[gamemasterpeg]

*smiles warmly* Oh my dear boy. I'm so glad to see that you're in such good spirits despite what you've been through. *puts the bear on the side of the bed* How are you, despite the obvious?

[milleniumkeeper]

I feel like crap, really. Er, I don't mean physically... But we can ignore that for now, right? *smiles, then turns the bear* What's that?

[gamemasterpeg]

It's a biker bear with bunny ears that you can wear.

*notices the distraction* You seem worried about something, but that can wait until you're ready to talk about it. *puts a reassuring hand on Malik's shoulder* We understand. Just don't block us out.

[milleniumkeeper]

*sweatdrops, imagining himself as a bunny, and how Mariku would react to it* Ye~ah...

*looks at Pegaus* I've never intentionally tried to block you out, Pegasus. You're someone I can trust, who isn't a insane lover, a over-protective family member, or a Drama Queen... *looks away, thoughtful* Actually, I'm suprised I didn't tell you anything. You're like a father to me- you have a fatherly air to you, I mean... Out of anyone who was with me recently, it's you I should have trusted with the truth...

[gamemasterpeg]

*smiles with patience* It's okay if you're not ready to discuss it. I'm sure that with time, you will gain the strength you need. I am in no hurry. Besides, I planned on staying here for however long it would take for you to heal. The company can function without me. I just hold the deed. *chuckles* It's mine anyways.

What's important is that you're safe now and you're in the company of those that love you.

[milleniumkeeper]

*frowns, can't help but feel like a burden* You don't have to stay just for me. Heck, shouldn't I be 'fired' for abandoning my job... *can't help but chuckle* Even before I started it?! *looks at Pegasus, and speak with a warning, but half-joking tone* You know, if I'm this much of a burden now, I wonder what it will be like when I start working for you...

[gamemasterpeg]

Nonsense. Don't think such things. You're an asset in your own rights. I just want to be here to make sure that you're alright. I happen to like Egypt so don't think that it's a burden for my staying here.

[milleniumkeeper]

*nods, starting to feel a little better, but still a bit guilty* So... How's Sam?

[gamemasterpeg]

She's doing well. Thank you for asking. She's not fond of flying and since we are here, she's doing a little shopping with Isis to help ease her mind. The ladies do need to talk to other ladies, this helps their sanity. Both Sam and Isis have been with men most of the time, it's only good that they get out to talk about female things. *chuckles* It's also good for us too so we can talk without any interruptions.

[milleniumkeeper]

Pfft. Women. *not suprised, but satisfied* I can sympathize with a hatred for flying though, at least...

*looks Pegasus in the eyes and thinks* ... If there is one person who I should tell the truth about all of this mess to first, it would need to be someone close, one who wouldn't judge, one who over-react, one who wouldn't abandon me... You're that person, aren't you? I have to start with someone, don't I?

[gamemasterpeg]

I will remain objective and I promise I won't judge. I haven't started then and I won't start now. What's on your mind? *face shows sympathy and compassion* I'm here to listen. *places a gentle hand on Malik's, giving it a fatherly squeeze* How could I abandon anyone? It's not in my nature.

[milleniumkeeper]

You should know that's the on thing I'm afraid of: being abandoned. Unfortunately, I have the habit of alienating, myself- unintentionally, of course...

*takes a deep breath* This- All of this... It's all because of what I did to Zigfried that one night... You know how disturbed and scared he was that one morning... And it's because of me... And my emotions... *pauses as the memories come back*

[gamemasterpeg]

*listens with compassion* Yes, I do remember him talking about it, but he seems to have forgiven you. He did make mention that you were not yourself, so that must mean that you were acting out the way the fragment acted.

[milleniumkeeper]

The fragment... it was... Desire. *shudders as he says the name* It was created by longing, confusion and lust... My longing, my confusion, and my lust.

*looks at Pegasus* How can you say this isn't my fault? Maybe it isn't completely my fault, but I am to blame- those were my emotions that tried to rape Ziggy, not anyone else's! *looks away, but doesn't realize he said 'rape'*
