[ The Ring-Spirit nods, somewhere between reassuring and irritated. ]
Yeah, i'th buth -
[ The Ring-Spirit cuts himself off with a groan, finally giving up. He rolls his eyes, then sticks out his tongue and points at it by way of explanation.
Along the edge of his tongue, the Ring-Spirit once had avian ridges, much like the creepy "teeth" ducks and geese have on their tongues; those are gone now. Instead, he sports a new row of actual, human teeth. On his tongue.
They're proving an obstacle to speech. ...He'll adjust.
Also, Ryou may notice that the Ring-Spirit's right hand, which he's been wrapping with athletic tape since the Fourth marked a bunch of them, is now unwrapped - and free of the hieratic four tattoo that Atem may or may not have mentioned (or maybe even Ryou'd asked about the tape previously; the Ring-Spirit certainly would have explained the unwanted tattoo if he'd asked). ]
