Ryoga shifted a little and grumbled something inaudible to himself. He opened an eye a bit just to see where Astral was before closing it agian.
“Hm?” he mumbled back in reply. He was feeling pretty drowsy today. “A word?”
Astral hesitantly looked at Ryoga, his cheeks were still scarlet. He tilted his head a bit, and questioned the Barian Lord. “T-Try what..?”
"It’s this thing humans do sometimes." he said. "Do you know what a…kiss is?"
He briefly wondered if Astral had and hoped no one had tried teaching him something weird.
Astral shook his head. “I don’t know what a kiss is.. although, Thomas said you aren’t quite good at it, judging by your looks..”
"He said what???"
Ryoga’s eyes widened a bit in surprise before he let out an indignant huff and narrowed them at nothing in particular. He felt annoyed.
"Like he would even know." he grumbled in response. He made a mental note to confront IV about this later. And hit him. "Don’t listen to him. He’s an ass."
The nerve of that guy…
"…but, well, a kiss is just a way to show your feelings to someone you like."
"How?" Astral asked, tilting his head. "Like a hug? Yuma did hug me a couple of times.. is it the same?"
“Kinda…they aren’t really the same thing and there’s different kinds of kisses, but…”
He wasn’t sure how to explain this. It wasn’t hard, really, but this was pretty awkward and he was starting to feel embarrassed again.
“Can I just show you?” he asked, deciding to just go for it.
