No. I'm not. I want to stay here with you, I've had my fill of anywhere else.
[It's as simple as that. He's not going out again unless Atem wants to. Besides which, he's tired from transforming as it is, and this isn't a good hunting form.
It's fine to stay inside for now. He can hunt later.
The most important thing to Ryou at this point is to figure out how to proceed from here. Because...he does know that Atem is having struggles--that had been the whole point of leaving for what was supposed to be a little while. So that they could both have space to think. But he's afraid, damn near terrified, that he'll somehow do something insensitive again. It's almost paralyzing.
As a result, it takes him a little longer to organize his thoughts and speak again.]
What do you want to do? D-do you want to talk about something else? I know I've made a mess of the evening, but...I'm here now. We could talk about anything you want.
[It's an open invitation, one he wants Atem to take! But...he's afraid to force any points too hard tonight. Honestly the coward's move...]
