[There's a vague thought in the back of Ryou's mind that maybe he shouldn't have let the opportunity go to waste...but he overrides it easily because Tybolt's licking noises are very distracting, and he looks so, so determined.]

Has he figured this one out before? You'd think he would remember if he has...

[Ryou shakes his head in amusement though, at the other thing Atem had said.]

[Ryou's not saying this just because he was told stories of what the others had needed to deal with. Once upon a time, he had housed a pretty terrible bully, to put it as kindly as he could. And besides...]

The gym teacher...he wasn't very kindhearted was he?

[Ryou toys with the ends of his short hair a bit.]

Suppose he got a little bit of what he wanted after all, not that he'll ever know.
