Rayn glanced at Nyima when he mentioned bringing her home. He knew that wasn't going to go well, he tried convincing her to at least visit home she wouldn't go for it. She stepped away from him as he introduced Mizuki and her, “Pardon?” She asked obviously lost in thought. She looked at Rayn, “Oh…. Umm… Friends, just friends.” He looked at her as she said that... Smiling inwardly.

She looked around the area, god how much she just wanted to run away. However, she felt like Rayn would be awfully Nyima looked up at Zhou when he explained to the girl, that she had most likely never heard of her. She was about to say something when he mentioned bringing her home. She stepped away from him as he introduced Mizuki and her. She nodded to her slightly but her mind was only on what he had said. Home? She couldn’t go home. She didn’t wish to go home. Her brother was saying something, “Pardon?” She asked before she pieced together his question. She looked at Rayn, “Oh…. Umm… Friends, just friends.”

He watched as she moved and stood next to him. She bit her lip and looked up at her brother. She looked at him for a moment before sighing, “I’m… no going home with you, Zhou…. Um… No… Let me rephrase….” She glanced at Rayn and back to her brother, “I… I am home…”

Zhou stood like a deer in the headlights. Rayn felt sorry for him how he would feel after seeing family after three years and they say their home is somewhere else. Zhou stuttered " I ... Uh... Ok.... " as he tried to think what to say." Um... So what have you been doing these last few years?" He looked to Rayn and asked " How did you meet Nyima?"

Rayn looked at Nyima then said, " the day she came to Republic City three years ago..." He knew if he said saved her from getting raped Zhou would go nuts. " She needed help and we met just in the right place in the right time." 

Zhou nodded and looked back to Mizuki as she said, "It's nice to meet you, Niyma. I apologize for not knowing of you from the tribe before now, I'm sure that must seem rude.. And nice to meet your, uh... friend.. as well." Mizuki offered a light smile to Niyma then to Rayn who nodded in return. She then looked back to Zhou

"Though she may have left some years ago, she seems to be in good hands where she is now, would you not agree, Zhou?" Zhou looked back at her then to Rayn, "Yeah... It does" he looked Rayn up and down discreetly. The way he held himself, his posture. The obvious muscle tone and strong hands showed he was a exellent fighter
 "How long have you been in the city? We've only just arrived ourselves." Mizuki asked.
