Aside from the on-going discussions being heard within the room, Ryu felt that the only words he really cared to hear were that of from Juliette, who had just pretty much asked him if she could be of any assistance. Ryu concluded that she was meaning about his staring at her. It took him a few seconds, and he shook his head slightly, as if trying to gather himself. Remaining silent for only a few seconds longer, Ryu spoke. [b]“Oh I’m sorry.”[/b] He said briefly, [b]“I didn’t mean to stare, but I saw that you’re the only one out of all of us that is an A-rank.”[/b] Ryu said still slightly red, [b]“I’m intrigued.” [/b]He said.

Ryu knew that what he probably was saying sounded creeper-ish. He didn’t want it to come off as that way. He truly found Juliette interesting. If not for the fact that she was the only one to be an A-rank, then perhaps it was the way that she presented herself and the way that Ryu’s first impression of her was. He just couldn’t explain it, but there was a definite intrigue from him to her. Whether it would be received back the same way was unknown to him.
