[Ryou's claws seem all the more sharp with the skin pulled tight to his fingertips, and in a panic, he does dig them into Atem's cheek, just below the eye.
The damage is minimal however, for one reason. He can hear, and with Atem this close, asserting that everything's going to be okay...even though it's hard to hear and distinguish the all of the words, like someone's yelling across a room with a screen in front of them...he recognizes the voice.]
O-okay.
[That's all he says. He doesn't apologize for the damage he's done, because he can't see it, and he's too stressed to know that he's cut Atem's cheek at all.]
