... [Malik places the dagger on the bed, but it seems the "headache" faded soon after anyway. He just kept his hand there as a comforting press to his temple.]
...the Rod? [Besides the idea being almost ludicrous in and of itself, there was something else:] I thought you wanted the Rod.
[It made sense, sure...but Malik didn't need the Rod once he'd killed the Pharaoh. After that...he just wanted to help his family.
Maybe eternity wouldn't be so bad if he could do that. He'd free the Tombkeepers, help establish them in the outside world...
He wouldn't mind living a little longer if it meant seeing to that. They could always take outsiders to act as bodies for him and Bakura. It'd be for a good cause, after all...surely they wouldn't mind, knowing that.
