[There are two things that are advantageous in this situation at present. One, Atem is not a terribly massive naga, compared to the usual. Two, of course, is that Ryou is much stronger as a werewolf than he'd usually be. All he has to do to make sure Atem doesn't knock him down at first is turn his arm, add the other for support, and let Atem do as he likes. His shoulders tense as Atem settles comfortably, though that's mostly because he's enjoying this.

He's...enjoying it a lot, and the snakes weaving into his hair, between his ears...that's hardly helping.]

Mmm...yes. I can do that...we can just...stay close.

[He's not struggling, but Atem would do well not to lift himself completely up off the ground and onto Ryou at this point. Not without some adjustment, anyway.

Ryou does the adjusting this time though, wrapping an arm around a coil of lower snake-body to support it, as if he's carrying a piece of very thick rope or something, and not a section of his impish boyfriend.]

I'm sure you could use the contact anyway. You're back to being cold-blooded, after all. Take what you like.

[It's said softly, unassumingly, but Ryou doesn't have to lower his tone and half-lid his eyes to be flirting. Atem should know better by now. It's a little funny though, since the last time Atem was a naga, Ryou really was quite shy.]
