[It doesn't sound offended, just...curious. Did Ryou ever make Atem feel otherwise? Was...was he a bad person? Surely Atem knew that Ryou would never want him to be injured while seeking vengeance for him. It's nice to have someone want to avenge you and all that, on paper anyway. But the risks, the morality--
You know what. He's answered his own question. No. He's not a bad person. Atem knows he felt that way from the beginning, he's sure.]
You did promise...and I trust you more than myself to keep a promise at this point. H-heh.
[Atem seems to be erring on the side of discretion, if his words are to be believed. Ryou's not convinced, but he doesn't need to be right now. His job is to enjoy this moment for what little there is to enjoy. He's close to Atem...who had admitted his feelings...and he wants to talk about that so bad.
But...Atem's right.]
Mm. We can talk about that whole supercomputer thing later...because that's fairly horrifying but still...interesting.
[He suddenly curls his fingers around Atem's neck, as if he intended to pull him down...closer...but he loses his nerve, because he's a spineless coward, and immediately pulls his hand away. His cheeks flush darker, and he glances elsewhere awkwardly.]
A-anyway...yes, um. If I might trouble you for a glass of water...
