Ryou stays put on the couch for a while, lost in his own feelings over the matter...but eventually...he uncurls, opens his wings, and forces himself up. He's hungry, and Tybolt is probably hungry too.
Atem is gone...and the only thing he can do is make sure that he starts taking steps in proving that he can change...instead of just saying it, and then leaning on Atem even harder for stability. He can't take back what he'd done as a nephilim though...and that makes him a little less hungry than usual...but he's still going to take care of himself.]
...I'm not going to disappoint you again, Atem. I can't do this to you again.
[He says it quietly, as if Atem might be right outside the door, listening for some kind of sign. But he's not.
Before he goes to the fridge...Ryou unwinds a bit of cord from his hand. He'd been holding the object so close to his chest that it would be a miracle if it was spotted, but he sets it on the kitchen counter now, with a light click. The light doesn't quite catch on the surface of the small gemstone affixed to the cord, not in any normal way. It's almost as if light sinks into it and doesn't seep back out.
This...is not for now. It's for another time. He'll show it to Atem later, once things have calmed down.]
