[Ohhh, Ryou's starting to kind of like that voice. The way Atem answers at that moment, it makes Ryou's fur prickle, and it makes him cant his head to the side and give a quick nuzzle, a slow, affectionate one that precedes the familiar rumble deep in his chest that comes out as a half-sigh, half-groan of contentment. Happy wolf. Very happy wolf.

Then, very carefully, Ryou starts to make his way to the couch. His steps are a little uneven, but he does alright supporting a whole naga for a quick trip. If Atem's tail is dragging, he might want to pull it up for a moment, at least until Ryou can finally sit. And if he's not impeded, after sitting, he lets out a slow exhale.]

I'm happy that you're here. I'm proud that you're strong. And...maybe it's a little selfish of me, but I'm also glad I can hold you better since the last time we were together like this.
