He does seem to have a soft spot for kids beyond that of just "they're kids". I'm actually using that as a point in a fic I'm working on--everybody has a thing that gets to them more than anything else, and for Ryan it seems to be kids. I wonder if we'll ever get to know why, though.
And, for your viewing pleasure, some visual evidence regarding Ryan's wardrobe:

And I have to say that even though I like the open collars better, I happen to like that particular tie :drool: It's more "normal" than the ones he's been in lately.
Edit: ...and the sweatervest--yeah I forgot that :lol:
