[He's already flagging one down, and Ryou's getting helped in, and this time, instead of trying to curl his travel form up on the seat, Atem proactively slithers across Ryou's knees, then loops back, and loops around Ryou's right arm, once, before pushing himself back up to eye level. Nice and anchored!

He directs the driver to an address near the edge of Bavan, then settles in.]

I know we're making this trip for a serious reason, but I've been meaning to show you this place for a while. There just wasn't time in July.

[Stay with him, buddy. This is the last leg of the trip out, and if Ryou ends up taking a dirt nap, all the better. He might be more rested for the trip home...and by then, Dr. Pierce will have finished the autopsy. Who's got no thumbs and is the king of time management, this guy.]
