[Just as it had been the first time, the sensation of being saturated by water is very strange, and Ryou's immediate reactions are to simultaneously close his eyes against it and shiver, as well as splay a hand on the couch as if he's worried that the water might soak through. His tail fur flattens out, his hair flops in front of his face--
--and then he's dry again, his fur fluffing out and his hair bouncing back into its fluffy, usual styling with feathered ends and all. It doesn't hurt or feel weird--outside of the sensation of being wet-then-not-wet, so he lets Atem continue down his legs. This time he gets a good look at the fur on his feet being saturated like someone's poured a glass of water on him...then fluff up, clean and dry.
His nostrils flare a bit as he examines himself. He...smells nice. Almost perfumed.
And then he has to ask, because he remembers something from a couple months earlier:]
...So am I holy and presentable to the gods now? I wouldn't want to embarrass you.

[He smiles, only lightly teasing.]
