[The way Atem says that, it burrows under Ryou's skin, eats at his flesh. It makes him sick.]
That's not just your lion. That's MY LION TOO!
[Ryou steps closer, a snarl building low in his chest and reverberating out so loudly that it might even echo in the streets. He looks ready to jump, this time he'll do it.]
Selfish!! You're SELFISH!! You decided that because the game wasn't going your way, you'd flip the board like a filthy CHEATER, then GATHER UP ALL YOUR PIECES AND LEAVE, EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T ONLY YOURS!
[His words are punctuated with the growls and snarls of this form, nearly drowning out the words. And he draws closer, closer and closer, until Atem's leg is within snapping distance.]
Is that about right, Atem? Is that good enough for you?
[Anger. Anger is all he can think, feel, taste, smell, he wants to BITE!!! He wants RETRIBUTION!
Jaws snap closed, but not on Atem. Instead...Ryou bites at his own shoulder, the searing pain making him angrier, but keeping him away from Atem, and Tybolt. This is Atem's fault. But...no, no, he can't.
He can't bite him, not without leaving Tybolt in danger.]
