And -- heh! True friendship. Isn't that right. Atem absolutely believes Ryou would have helped anyone he cared about through something that difficult, because he's a good friend. Atem likes that about him! But...the amount of effort, the sacrifice of time...Atem appreciates what was done for him, and what it took to give it.
...then, Ryou makes a request. It's not quite phrased like one, but the implication's clear enough. He grins, a little wicked, a little warm, and he pushes Ryou backward -- forward for him, backward for Ryou -- onto the blanket pile. He doesn't move fast, it's not a shove -- it's playful, and he hovers the human half of his body about a foot above Ryou's torso, juuust out of hairsnake reach (though they're reaching down, giving it their best try), a hand still at the back of his neck.]
