[Although he had offered himself as a support beam, Ryou is still pretty surprised when a big ol' cobra launches at him. The general instinct of knowing that a snake that big and venomous could cause a lot of damage makes him stiffen at first, until he reminds himself properly that Atem is the snake, and that he's in no danger of being bit.
The sensation of Atem's scales wrapping around his arm and slowly passing across his lap is definitely...something. He even shudders a little. Look, Atem's a little cool to the touch at this point, it's not Ryou's fault! But other than that, it's fine, it's cool.
He's just looking a big-ass cobra in the eye. And the cobra is his friend.]
N-no problem, I offered. [He smiles, of course.] I think you need a bit of a bask, you're pretty cool. Should we get you a heat rock?
[Again, very much joking. Ryou's been leaning heavily on humor to deal with his problems, sorry.]
