Ryo has never had a pet of his own, but he's seen people talk about their pets - it's the same fond tone and expression that Naoya has now, and Ryo offers him a slight smile in response. "The holes just mean she likes you, right?"

He just tilts his head a bit at the next part. "I mean, you could stay back and plan things if you wanted to. You don't have to go with your team. I go with Purple team all the time." Generally when Purple team is in danger and in need of a healer, or when Orange is doing something intensely technical and above his head, but still.
