[Look at all of them go...the two snakes are pretty cute, now that they're being all friendly...]

You usually smell sweet! The only difference is that it's candy, not pastry...

[Scuse him while he sticks his bat snout right into Ryou's hair and sniffs around! It's silly, affectionate, and driven by a relief that they talked, that they're going to try to be all right, to go back to supporting each other instead of clinging to what they want but need to not have for the other's sake.]

[softspokenlandlord]

W...what? Atem! You can't just say that...

[Ryou is definitely blushing now, but his snakes seem perfectly charmed, flicking their little tongues out in interest against Atem's bat face. Compliment accepted, even if under duress.

Not enough duress to push Atem away though. The sniffing is allowed!]

[knifemonopoly]

Oh yes, I can!

[The sniffs and snuffs turn into rubbing his cheeks against the side of Ryou's head.]

It's good! It means you're getting to have what you like...

[Always a good thing, when Ryou is eating what he likes, when he's able to enjoy himself...it's better than the alternative.]

[softspokenlandlord]

[Ryou huffs, a childish pouting behavior. So sue him. He sure wishes he could be the one on the sofa, so he could wrap himself around Atem properly. There's nothing he'd like better than to be the one with Atem on his lap, rather than the other way around.

Alas...]

Of course I can! I can go out and buy whatever I like to eat!

[He knows that's not what Atem means but all the same.]

Still, um. I'm glad I don't...smell bad? If that doesn't sound weird.
