I cannot attest to your level of standards being anywhere but on the floor, Atem.

[Well...he'd said he missed the jokes. There's one. It's not meant to be cruel either, but...sometimes Ryou wonders how they got this far? What did Atem even see in him to want to stick around so long? Ryou loves him, without question, but it's still something he wonders.

That wondering is not for today though. Ryou instead nudges his muzzle under Atem's affectionately, his tail twitching in a slow, languid wagging pattern.]

You'd forgive me no matter what, hm? See...that right there, that is why I fell in love with you. It doesn't matter what form you're in, your heart is still as compromising and loving as ever. I never cease to be impressed.

[Which is probably not something Atem hears very much. Ryou is absurdly biased.]
