[Napping on the glass sphere doesn't really happen, though. He'd like to commit himself to that, but there's something he needs to do before he knows he'll be comfortable enough to just... drift off. That's mostly, of course, ensuring that he gets a visual confirmation on Dave being alright. So when he climbs in, he pulls the door latch closed and just plants the back of his head against the curved wall behind him and watches the scenery go by.]
Sorry dude, 'tis the season, can't help but be a little Santamental.
[Probably a 4/10 on the punscale, but Ryuji's head really isn't into it, all things considered. He said he wanted to talk about normal stuff, and he hates falling short of not doing something Dave wants, but as he ascends the tree and sees the increasing amount of webbing towards the top end, he's not exactly sure what normal's supposed to look like at the moment.]
What's it like up there anyway? Did they put decorations up too, or is it kinda more or less the same?
[When he gets pulled up back to the Hangar, Avi greets him with a questioning glance. They're expecting bodies if they're brought back up early, so Ryuji being completely fine and otherwise not needing magical attention, there's a few questions to be had and Ryuji's inattentive enough to just explain that it's something he's gotta do. No more questions asked after that, and he makes his way up to the apartment complex where the Reclaimers are meant to sleep. You know, when they're not on missions.
There's Dave, though.
Just sitting there. His hands drop to his side, and he doesn't waste any additional time in getting over to him. Ryuji comes down to his knees, sees the can of cola in his hands, and just.
Awkwardly and forcefully pulls him into a tight hug. Doesn't need a greeting, doesn't need a "sup" or an introduction that he's here. He's just going to go ahead and do that, and maybe even if Dave's body isn't quite ready for it, it's just the only way that he knows how to express himself.]
