Ryan shifts off the arm of the couch, distantly registering that touch of weakness (jesus, was I sitting there too long or what) and settles down on the cushion instead, right next to Harry.
(no, he has no sense of self-preservation.)]
--how many languages do you even know, anyway? D'you do that all the time?
[ like he thought, ryan's energy is like taking a shot of espresso. ...several shots. he loves espresso. harry's eyes follow him right until he's settled next to him. right next to him. in his space.
the closer you are - the more he takes. little by little. nobody ever sits closer to harry when they know. the poor guy really only does speak english, huh? that or he doesn't even care. come into the web, ryan. ]
Six. [ Well. The Chinese and German aren't exactly fluent but- ] I only thought to do it around you. Seemed like it'd be fun for you if everyone's constantly asking the same questions.
It helps a little, yeah. I mean- it's a little uncomfortable just overhearing what people think, y'know? Can't help doing it, but I can't really help feeling kind of bad about it too.
[He shrugs slightly, sinking back against the couch cushions. God, this thing is comfortable, he's half-tempted to shut his eyes and relax a little. Just a little. It's easy to keep up a conversation even with your eyes closed, right?]
Pretty good way to handle it.

I'd imagine. You're a walking invasion of privacy. That has to have some uncomfortable feelings. Especially if you stumble upon someone's wet daydream about a teacher during class.
[ he raises his eyebrows and grins at ryan while stating that. eh eh? how funny would that be? he thinks it would be hilarious. ryan's sinking into the couch in comfort and harry's definitely more awake than he had been. ]
[ he's got a genuine look of surprise at that. he would've thought a lot of people would be raving perverts. the human race gets more credit, he guesses. ]

Thought so. I like to consider myself clever.
shh you saw nothing
[His nose wrinkles at the thought of it, then he shakes his head as if trying to get that idea out of it. No mental images, please.]
...you really weren't kidding about picking up other people's moods, huh?
[It's a little out of nowhere, but Ryan hasn't missed the way Harry's so much perkier.]
