The young teen known as Yugi followed after Bakura and sat, listening as he explained. It answered most of his questions, though certainly not all. He felt apprenhensive and more then a bit nervous about the whole thing; but everyone deserved to be given another chance. Didn't they?
He looked down at the table then back up first at Joey, then Tea and Kaiba, then back at Bakura.
"I believe you and think that we should give him another chance." Yugi said with a tired smile. The truth was that he didn't know if he did or not. But he did trust Bakura even if he didn't trust Yami Bakura.
"Even if he was planning something it would be difficult all things considered." He thought.
After a moment or two he looked to Joey and Tea for their opinion on the matter at hand.

Téa blinked at Yugi's announcement, but she managed a smile and a nod. If Yugi was willing to give him one more chance, well... perhaps she could, too.
Joey just folded his arms, still unsure.
"Well... alright..." he said at last. But I'm keeping my eye on that thief. One false move, and he's outta here...

Bakura stared in amazement, then relief. "I promise nothing will happen," he said with a weak smile. "That's the last thing any of us want."
Yami Bakura grunted. He did not have a great deal of choice in the matter; when he had been sent back, he had been told that he would be closely watched. Ordinarily he would have scoffed at such a thing, but he had caught sight of Shadi several times since then. The man was clearly letting himself be seen so Yami Bakura would know it was not an idle warning. And the thief was just too tired to bother seeing whether he could defy Shadi's presence.
After finally being freed from three thousand years of being absorbed by Zorc, he didn't know what he wanted anymore. Originally he had just wanted justice. Then the lust for power had started to grow, and had continued to the modern day. And since he now knew that Zorc had been manipulating him almost all along, he still could not determine what had been his own thoughts and words and what had been Zorc's. It was highly frustrating.
For the time being, at least, he was fine with just continuing to live with Bakura while he tried to sort out his own existence. But with Bakura's father soon to return from his latest trip to Egypt, things could get very sticky, very fast.
He wondered how the rest of Yugi's little friends would react. Tristan, he could imagine, would not be so willing to just accept his presence, even with suspicion.

"Well..." sighed Téa, turning to Yugi. "Maybe... Maybe we should all just sit down and eat...?" Things were awkward to the tenth degree, but perhaps going along with everything was the best thing to do at the moment.
Joey grunted in response, still deciding that being on alert was the best thing he could do.

"I already ate," Yami Bakura grunted. That did not mean, however, that he would not be willing to eat something else if there was something else worth trying. And if someone else was paying.
Bakura looked over the menu, hoping to diffuse the remaining tension. "This looks good," he mused, looking at some kind of cheese dish.

"Yeah, I'll have some of that, too..." said Joey, in response to the Bakura's selection of the cheese dish without even bothering to look at what it was-- he was still watching Yami Bakura.
Téa was about to point out that Joey had no idea what he just decided on, but shook her head. "I think I'll have a salad..." she said, looking over the choice of salads.

Yami Bakura, however, found it too amusing to pass up. "You don't even know what he's planning to order," he sneered. "It could be something like vegetables or escargot."
Bakura blinked, looking up and over at Joey. "They don't even serve that here," he said.
Yami Bakura was unfazed. "Let's see if he knows that," he replied in a low tone.

Yugi tugged his now ice old hamburger over besides him. It was soggy from having spilled his caffinated beverage and no longer looked all that appetizing. But it would do for this moment in time, he had lost his appetite anyway.
He sighed at Yamis' words and at the general direction that the conversation seemed to be heading towards. An argument between Yami and Joey would not be optimal here.
"Maybe you'd like a hamburger?" He said to Joey in a pathetic attempt to diffuse the situation. A look around the table revealed that Kaiba had seemed to have vanished. Though odd, it could not have been said that he was not expecting it.

Joey snapped to reality at the escargot comment.
"Huh? Uh...?" he frantically looked through the menu, trying to find out what it was he ordered. He frowned, glancing at Yami Bakura again, but before he could come up with a witty retort, Yugi spoke next.
"Well..." he said, glancing at the soggy burger and managed a smile "Uh... thanks but no thanks, Yugi. I'll stick with whatever it is I ordered."
Téa just shook her head. He really would eat almost anything...

"You do know what escargot is, don't you?" Yami Bakura smirked. "I hope it won't make you ill."
"Yami, I didn't order that!" Bakura protested again. He felt like groaning, crossing his arms on the table, and burying his face against them. This was truly a disaster.

"Well, sure I know what it is!" Joey bluffed. "Who doesn't?" In truth, he wasn't sure, but he wasn't about to admit that to Yami Bakura. "And like Bakura said, he didn't even order it!"
Téa could only just refrain from facepalming.
"I need some female friends..." she murmured.

Yugi slid down in his chair and leaned his head back. They were going to have to tip the waitress quiet a bit to make up for all of this. Poor girl seemed like she was going to have a nervous breakdown. But then it could have just been that she was startled by the theif kings appearance.
"Bakura didn't order the snails, Yami." He said looking down at the table. He prodded at his hamburger one last time before fnally taking a bite. It was soggy, that much was a given, but it was still good. After a brief moment he finished chewing and swallowed.
He looked at Tea sympathetically. This couldn't be any more fun for her then is was for anyone else. Save for Yami of course.

Yami Bakura just smirked. He might complain about Yugi destroying his fun, but he was too interested in seeing how Joey would react now.
Bakura just sighed and shook his head, holding up his hands in an I am not part of this! gesture.
Over near the entrance, another customer wandered in, taking in the commotion with a raised eyebrow. Maybe he had picked a bad place to grab lunch. But ... he knew those people, didn't he? At least, he knew who most of them were. He had only met them once, and then, only briefly. Other than that, they would have only seen him from across the street as he was coming to or leaving the Black Crown. He doubted they remembered him. At any rate, they had never learned his name, unless Duke had told them later.
David Tanaka would have liked to sit as far away from their table as possible, so as not to get dragged into their incident, but the only vacant table happened to be right next to theirs. Shaking his head, he sat down and picked up the menu.

"Yeah, exactly," said Joey, in response to Yugi. "Bakura didn't order any..." He trailed off, registering what Yugi had said. "Snails...!?" He looked at his friend, wide-eyed. "Yugi, are you serious!?"
Téa looked back at Yugi, giving him a wan smile. She flinched as he bit into his soggy burger.
"Would you like me to order you another one?" she offered.

Yami Bakura chuckled. Oh yes, this was enjoyable.
Bakura rubbed his forehead. As the waitress came over, he mumbled his actual order.
