"Thanks for being polite!" comes an answering shout from inside. "You can come in!"
Atem has a cat (lion) on his lap and can't get up from his chair. Horatio can blink in anyway.
He doesn't anticipate that Horatio is here to kick his and Ryou's asses for pulling this. However, even if he is...there's Atem's tier 3 power, sitting warm and reassuring inside his ribs, like he's just drunk a whole mug of hot chocolate. It's safety he can keep with him, that won't come too late or not at all. It's a guarantee that anything he suffers will be repaid, that he can escape from any trap. It was worth it.
