[In the time it take Atem to decide what he'd like to eat, Ryou picks up the glass with his free hand and takes a long sip. Sorry, but he's far too tempted to leave it alone, and as he expects, it's a good taste for him. Even as a werewolf, he can't curb his habits when it comes to sweet things, it seems.

He's licking his lips in thorough enjoyment when Atem touches nose to wrist. Ryou's response doesn't come immediately, though. He instead takes the menu, and gives it a once over.]

I don't want to hurt her feelings...but I also hope the same. I came here because I thought it would be private. I'm here to spend time with you.

[Atem might catch it at his peripheral, just past the edge of the table, but Ryou's tail tip is wagging in short bursts. It's not a happy wag, and his ears are staying down.

He's not angry, or highly upset. But he is a little anxious. Wanting to be out like this, for him, is hard enough without someone making it stressful.]

I...I also didn't think anyone would be that interested in what I look like right now, but she did say my fur looked soft.
