[ Hm? The Ring-Spirit isn't sure why Ryou trails off like that. His eyes...? ]
...Yeah, Harpies have very keen eyesight.
[ That's what Ryou's talking about, right?
Then the swell of sheer loneliness that hits the Ring-Spirit makes him stutter in his flight with a gasp. It doesn't bring tears, no - but it's far too close to what the Ring-Spirit had felt during that period directly after those dice shattered. It calls up an echo of the cold horror he'd felt while he was alone in the dark again, certain his only host was gone, that he'd broken something he needed, something... someone he... wanted to keep... and -
Fuck.
Well, the Ring-Spirit isn't about to cry, but he will be sick if he doesn't land for a sec here. He quickly dives toward another building's roof so he can just. steady himself a bit. catch his breath. Focus on not being sick.
He lands abruptly, hard, catching himself enough to stumble onto hands and (bird) knees. And then he stays like that, wings still spread as he stares unseeingly at the roof's surface, focused solely on breathing.

It's not the most reassuring reaction, ]
