[By the time Ryou speaks up, Tybolt has settled down...on Ryou. His back feet are on the ground like he's sitting, but his front feet and front half of his body are draped over Ryou's waist. He is breathing contentedly, his eyes squinting mostly shut. He can't purr, but he's making contented little leonine sounds. Things have been weird lately with Ryou, but he can tell things are better, now, and he's happy about it.
Atem looks down at Ryou as Ryou looks up -- the hand that's not under Ryou's arm that props him up goes to the side of Ryou's face, to tilt it up just a little, to hold eye contact.]
You're my heart, too. You're the person I want to handle, easy or not...I won't ever stop fighting for you.
[Even if the person he's fighting for Ryou is Ryou, sometimes.]
