Hmm...

[Ryou might have kept a little more conversational if he wasn't told his sleeping face was cute. Instead, he awkwardly huffs, then busies himself with stuffing his maw, just to avoid answering that.

Atem shouldn't just say those kinds of things, especially not while Ryou's face is mostly furless, and thereby making it easier to see the rush of color rising to his cheeks. He only murmurs a response to be polite, but clearly he's too tired to accept a compliment so easily.]

...Ilikewhenyoupetmebutthatsembarrassing...

[And then there's more eggs in his mouth. It's fine. He's fine.

(He's pouting)]

[Atem shuts his eyes and grins, gesturing with a forkful of crepe. This food is fantastic, it's setting off all the reward-lights in his brain, this is what is good to eat, and he can't be in anything but a good mood while he's eating it.]

I don't see what there is to be embarrassed about! But, I won't tell anyone, if that's what you prefer...it's fine, to keep it our secret.

[Ryou swallows the mouthful of food, but his lips are pursed in a pout all the same, even as he speaks.]

N-no, it's...it's not that I think you'll tell people, I just didn't realize you were watching me...sleep. I guess. I mean, it's okay that you do, and I don't mind you thinking I look nice.

[He reaches up and scratches behind one of his ears.]

I guess I'm just tired...

[Way too sleepy to take a compliment. Or convey himself any better. Poor guy.]

Sorry, it's probably confusing. But I'm glad you like the food enough to keep eating it through all of...this.

[He gestures to himself. Yeah...yeah, that's about right.]
