[Unless Ryou pulls back, Atem's going to slither over Ryou's hand. As in, he's going to let Ryou start to take his weight, and wrap around Ryou a second time. His tail's midsection will wind up supported in Ryou's hands, if he has anything to say about it, and he'll end up behind Ryou's back, resting arms over Ryou's shoulders, around his back.]

You're right. We should see if this is the sort of ability that wears off after an hour!

[Playfully, his snakes wiggling their way into Ryou's hair, as Atem rests an arm and his chin on one of Ryou's shoulders:]

I don't have any objections to your current form. We shold wait it out together.

[How much of Atem's weight is Ryou supporting right now? As much as Atem can get away with putting on him, honestly. Ryou is warm like this, with his fur...]

[There are two things that are advantageous in this situation at present. One, Atem is not a terribly massive naga, compared to the usual. Two, of course, is that Ryou is much stronger as a werewolf than he'd usually be. All he has to do to make sure Atem doesn't knock him down at first is turn his arm, add the other for support, and let Atem do as he likes. His shoulders tense as Atem settles comfortably, though that's mostly because he's enjoying this.

He's...enjoying it a lot, and the snakes weaving into his hair, between his ears...that's hardly helping.]

Mmm...yes. I can do that...we can just...stay close.

[He's not struggling, but Atem would do well not to lift himself completely up off the ground and onto Ryou at this point. Not without some adjustment, anyway.

Ryou does the adjusting this time though, wrapping an arm around a coil of lower snake-body to support it, as if he's carrying a piece of very thick rope or something, and not a section of his impish boyfriend.]

I'm sure you could use the contact anyway. You're back to being cold-blooded, after all. Take what you like.

[It's said softly, unassumingly, but Ryou doesn't have to lower his tone and half-lid his eyes to be flirting. Atem should know better by now. It's a little funny though, since the last time Atem was a naga, Ryou really was quite shy.]

[From the sounds of it, Ryou's body heat is already having an effect: Atem's tone is relaxed, lazy, a little sleepy, and the loosening of self control has the whispers creeping back into his voice. The snakes are settling down, too, finding comfortable configurations. There's still the occasional curious tonguesniff, but mostly, they're quieting down.

Ryou is still a little furry and wolf-faced for Atem to feel like making a proper move, but it's nice, warm, wrapped around someone he loves.]

[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.
