[Bakura raises an eyebrow as things just keep spilling forth from Marik.]

Replace 'casual' with 'snarky' and yeah, he does that sometimes. He's been talking to the Ring long before he even knew I was there.

[He shrugs.]

Talking like that comes with familiarity.

[He is about to say something else when Marik interrupts him before he can even begin by stepping close and poking him. A second pulled-up brow joins the first at that attitude of ~familiarity~ ]

It's definitely the latter. I and the gods don't work together. ....So, what are you going to do now?
