[Ryou's expression softens, and he lets out a quiet sigh. Seeing Atem sleeping so peacefully makes his heart swell. He's glad there was rest to be had, underwater, in the comfort of a no doubt cool bathtub.
He chooses not to disturb Atem, and instead backs out, moving to the kitchen to properly forage. However long it takes Atem to wake up...Ryou doesn't leave this time. Even though he wonders whether he should. Atem looks terribly comfortable where he is, maybe...not having to worry about Ryou so much was better.
Ryou makes himself a cup of duck ramen, then, if he has time after eating, he'll brush out his hair. If Atem takes a while to get his rest in, once he wakes up, he'll probably find Ryou shirtless and preening his feathers. No seriously. It's an involved process, and he usually doesn't need to spend so much time on it, but...being outside and not taking care of himself means that the feather barbs are a disaster. So, he's using some store-bought moisturizing oil and doing his best.
His best means that his headwings, and almost one of his two primary wings are sorted out. Ryou doesn't envy harpies...but he kind of deserves this. It's his fault.]
