[Curiosity temporarily sated, Ryou does then proceed to make it a little awkward, but not intentionally. He repositions his hand on Atem's shoulder, pulling just enough to beckon him closer.

Again, it's very silly, because Ryou's on his back at an odd angle.]

You have to. I know...bad dreams are not helpful. But you're going to fall to pieces if you don't recharge. If you wake up, I'll be here to remind you where you are and what's real. It's not the same as...seeing everyone else you dream about, but I can only be one friend...

[Despite all the ridiculous things that had just happen, Ryou can't help but try and switch back to comforting Atem. Nightmares or no nightmares, he can't continue this way.

It's worrisome.]
