[Ryou absolutely wouldn't have accepted it. Night was already so short in Ryslig that he had to make these kinds of sacrifices. And in this situation, the sacrifice was well worth it. Soon, he wouldn't have to worry about the light hurting him ever again.

Steven can't see it, but Ryou's smiling beneath the scarf, however reservedly.]

Yes, that's me. I'm sorry for being all bundled up like this. Shadows don't like the light.

It is nice to meet you face to face, Mr. Grant. I am Ryou Bakura, and you may refer to me with whichever name you feel more comfortable using.

[Rather than a handshake, Ryou offers a polite bow. Sometimes manners are different from place to place, but he'll accommodate any niceties if he has to.]
