[ If there was something to be said of Ryo and Akira, it was the fact that their teamwork could be impeccable, if they weren't so protective each other and their own perspectives. However, the inherent polarity available in the pair of them was magnetic. It shows up in the way that Ryo steps into the outskirts of their fray, as though observing discussions at the town meeting.
But, it becomes immediately apparent that it isn't close to that.
No, unlike the studious and placid appearance he cast in the Station's collective midst, there's something almost enthralled that flickers around the corners of his expression here. His mouth curls into a grin more feral and proud than pleasant. Were it not for the blunt of his teeth behind the soft his lips, it would have read as something more monstrous — predatory. To the vibrant alertness in the lines of his body to the way he settles naturally in Akira's corner (a pale and deceptive thing), there's nothing here that indicates he's unfamiliar with this arrangement at all.
It's a shame he can't guarantee the same level of assistance he'd usually provide him, but it doesn't count him out anyhow. He keeps his attention trained on Akira, one pale hand dipping into the pocket of his jumpsuit.
Let it be said Ryo isn't someone who likes to walk into things unprepared in any event. ]
