[The head-wing presses against the fingers, like tilting your head into a touch to your face. Inside Atem there are two wolves: one loves very much that Ryou can come back to him for solace, and the other is a little concerned about Ryou thinking Atem feels insecure about Ryou going to other people for help. That really isn't it, and Atem doesn't want that to direct Ryou's actions at all...but now, with Ryou falling asleep, isn't the time to get into it.]

I love you.

[He kisses the bridge of Ryou's nose.]

Tomorrow, we'll go to the woods. I like the idea...when you get deep enough into the forest, it feels like being in another world...

[But he's not going to go into detail about how Ryslig's deep woods really do feel like remarkable, magical places. That doesn't make much sense, logically, since as Yugi, he'd seen pictures, knew what they looked like...but with some of his old memories, the amount of green, the towering trees everywhere, valuable and damp and just growing there, makes him feel a little excited. But that's not very cool...it's just a feeling. He's not that little boy who thought he was in Punt, and that all monsters were magical spirits.

It's just an especially fun place to go for a walk.]
