you shouldn't look for trouble.

if you see entrances that tell you to stay out, promise me you'll stay out?

it's not the fourth. it's not worth inspecting, or guarding, or entering. i promise you that.

[Ryou can tell the Ring-Spirit's trying to comfort him, to posture in a way that would help alleviate Ryou's fears. But he's going to make himself very, very clear on that matter.

...For how little he realizes that AM is now no longer just a motionless supercomputer, but an ambulatory abomination.]

[ It sounds like Ryou's afraid of a building now? The Ring-Spirit thought it was someone in the caves?? Is it a trap some foggie set up? ...But if it's a trap, why label things "stay out"- unless they're trying to catch spies from outside Felfri itself... aka, other foggies... This doesn't make any sense. ]

I need to focus on getting us back to Ryslig. can't do much if I get myself stuck somewhere, right? so I'll stay out of whatever you found.

but don't hesitate to sic me on shit if something pisses you off.

[ Getting out of Felfri does take priority. If Ryou really thinks the Ring-Spirit can't handle whatever Ryou faced... first of all RUDE, but fine he'll leave it be.

He'll have to see later if Atem got a better explanation. These days, he doesn't mind the notion of waiting until he knows what he's picking a fight with before he starts swinging... so he'll stick a pin in this.

But it's getting revisited one way or another. ]

i wish you were here with me.

[There. He said it. He knows that the Ring-Spirit won't do it...and he shouldn't be made to. Ryou didn't want to forsake the Fog, however fragmented she was here. But...he would feel more secure if the Ring-Spirit was here, both for the spirit's safety and, selfishly, for Ryou's comfort.]

i can't send you out on this kind of task but i think...i think maybe Atem is going to do something about it.

i won't stop anyone once we're home. i've done enough damage telling you all to not make a move.

[Ryou sounds as if he's genuinely trying to respond to the Ring-Spirit, but that he's kind of skimming past his words just a bit, in order to make himself understood somehow.

It likely isn't working.

The burden of the Bakuras, indeed.]

[ The Ring-Spirit feels a painful twinge on reading that first sentence. He knows he's going to stay with the Fog, he just. E+L is practically the embodiment of Ma'at in this place. It's enough to give him hives. ]

I wish I could be with you too.

[ He wishes Ryou felt safe in the caves. He's not sure how much safer his former landlord actually is with E+L either. But he has people looking after him there, apparently... which he hadn't had with the Fog, had he. He and the Ring-Spirit had both been trying to contribute... ]

I miss you so much.

[ And due to far more than the god war business. The sheer, true emptiness of the "vessel" he has here... the Ring-Spirit has never missed being something inside Ryou's head so keenly. ]

[ Well. Nothing to do about that.

He focuses on the rest of the message for a few minutes, contemplating how to best understand what Ryou's saying. He needs to do some reading between the lines here, and historically he's had iffy enough luck with simply reading the lines themselves... He thinks he gets what Ryou means though. ]

I'll speak with Atem when this mess is dealt with, then. and I'll try to keep an eye out for myself... and on Atem too if he needs it.

[ Consider him sicced, but he'll try to keep the safety of certain Dark Spirits in mind while he's at it. ]

please.

i don't

Atem needs his friends. he was murdered for being a covert fog follower. they shattered him. i tried to make them pay. i tried so hard, but in the end, all i managed to do was get shocked until i couldn't fight back.

this place...it's always watching. i'm probably being watched right now, but e+l doesn't punish verbal or text betrayal. funny...isn't it?

despite how weird it still is to me, for better or worse he's one of my people now. I'll be there.

fuck, I wish you were safer where you are. it might be better than the caves, but... well we'll just get back to Ryslig.

...

they killed Atem for daring to do something beyond mere complaining or commiserating. they shocked you for the same reasons. this is exactly why I get so pissed when people've tried to claim the Fog is meant to be a force of ~Law~.

*this* is "law". *this* is "Ma'at". the "proper way of things" is "you sit in the little box selected for you, maybe you can complain, but god won't help you if you try to leave that damn box". I hate this place. I hate how *orderly* and *regimented* it is.

just. fuck. I know this isn't the time, but I hate what's happening to you, what happened to Atem. I want to make them pay too, and I'm not doing enough. I'll never be doing enough. no one could ever do *enough*.

if it makes you feel better, i'll cut up a few security cameras in your honor. breaking e+l's things makes me feel better.

right up until the shock. but at least right up until then, i feel like myself, instead of like a dog on a leash.

[Boy that certainly is a very Bakura thing to say, if not necessarily a Ryou thing to say.

But he's allowed to be more of a stereotypical Bakura at this point, after being shocked to shit and sedated. He's not feeling much like a merciful, kindhearted young man.]

can't say I feel better knowing you're getting shocked for it, no. but if fucking shit up makes you happier I'd be the last person to object~

[ LET! RYOU! SLICE! ]
