[Ryou's glad to be of assistance in balancing Atem during the taxi ride again, and it's kind of nice to feel like he's being hugged.

...You know, but around his arm. Look, he's probably the only one who perceives it as hugging, but that's alright. No one else here but him and Atem. No one trying to ascribe intentions to him...no one to tell him that he's definitely got it bad.

Damn, he's tired...but Atem's words grab his attention, and he glances over. It's very kind of his snake friend to keep at eye level. Vaguely, Ryou finds himself thinking about how nice it is to look Atem in the eye. He's such a tall creature that it's hard to look anyone face to face...

Wait. Atem said something. No, he has to focus.]

Hmm? I'm surprised. Normal people don't make it a goal to bring their friends to graveyards, you know.

[He smiles, raising an eyebrow.]

Have you grown bored of me already? I know you're terribly good at planning, but I didn't expect such a well thought out plan to dispose of your roommate.

[...They could both probably use the humor right now, perhaps.]
