[On the one hand, he wants to keep to himself during Sanguis. On the other, he hasn't gone crazy this cycle, and Ryo reaching out is unusual. He wouldn't ask if he didn't mean it.]
[ not like he has any other guests, but he doesn't want to leave it unlocked, and he knows he's going to be putting some things away while he waits for Akira - mostly his phone, loaded with photos and videos from home, and the camcorder, with videos. Akira doesn't need to know he has these, right? ]
[And Akira heads right over. If it were anyone other than Ryo, he'd refuse, but he knows that after everything they've been through together, Ryo of all people can handle him during Sanguis. He's tougher than he looks.
[ Ryo gives it a moment then makes his way to the door. His apartment is, overall, a blank slate. It would be about what Akira would expect based on the last place of his that he saw. He's gotten pretty creative with his clothing. His tank is accommodating the wings with two holes in the back, and he's wearing his drop-crotch pants. He has two large wings on his back, which he's gotten...mostly used to. They're bigger than what he'd normally have, given that it's only the single set of wings.
But, for impact, when he opens the door, he extends them with a small flourish. He takes a couple steps back. He supposes while he dislikes the entire joke of the wings, he could only be thought of as Ryo with wings. ]
You got here fast.
[ Akira looks okay to him. And he knows, at his core, that he can handle him if something were to go south. He knows because he has handled him. He fights that impulse, which he assumes is Iris, to pull Akira right into his arms. ]
[Akira hadn't been sure of what to expect. He stops, his mouth gaping a little, when the door opens and he sees Ryo with wings.]
You look... [Pretty? Beautiful, even. His wings look like Silene's, or the Archangel's. Although Ryo probably wouldn't appreciate the comparison, and Akira's memories of either of them are... Well.
He quickly puts that thought aside.]
...They suit you. [That's what he says, finally, stepping into the apartment.] Are they because of Iris?
[ They suit you... Well, of course they do. For so many reasons. After all, he sort of figured the wings would be appreciated. Who would dislike something like this on someone? It makes him look angelic in the way that humans relate to and see angels. If he starts sprouting extra ones during Iris, though, he's going to get a little concerned because he's not quite ready to have that conversation with Akira. ]
These are a result of Iris. What else could they possibly be?
[ His entire demeanor annoys him, and he wants it to stop being softer than usual in some ways, but in others it feels right. ]
They've taken a little bit of getting used to, but I've gotten decent control over them. You look --
[ Ryo allows because the sensation of touch is nice, and very welcome thanks to Iris' persistence pressing in the back of his mind. It's...something. And he didn't have to ask for it. ]
Ah.
[ Interesting, to say the least. He makes a mental note about how the moons impact Akira. He wished it were the same for him in many ways. Though in others he's glad it's not. While he dislikes this, they are certainly a part of being Iris and there is no mistaking them for something else. ]
Flying? No. I think they could, they're fairly easy to control, at least.
[ So he hasn't run into issues with...keeping them out of the way. ]
I'm not sure I should be out and about like this, ayway.

He raises a hand, and knocks on the door twice.]

The same.

[He steps closer to Ryo, reaching to touch his wings and brush his fingers carefully along the feathers if he'll let him.]
Have you tried flying with them yet?
