[quote=Kurisa] Shou continued to laugh until Rio shouted at him causing him to stop and his eyes to widen. He'd never been shouted at before and instantly he jumped off then turned around and covered his face with his baggy sleeves. It was something he just never experienced due to...a certain issue in his past and most of the time he was told he was a well behaved boy which meant he must have been misbehaving which upset him slightly however he tried not to show this as seen by him covering his face [/quote] [u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u] Shou's reaction to her shouting instantly made Rio feel bad. Crossing her arms, she turned towards him only to be met with the sight of his back. This caused her to pout a little, but instead of being apologetic about upsetting him, she stood her ground. Rio was now Shou's mentor, for him to go far and learn, she had to uphold her authority to make sure that he took what she said and taught him seriously. She'd be wasting Shou's time if she went easy on him every time he became upset. Her Captain wasn't easy on her when training her and thanks to that, she managed to gain her Shikai. [b]"Shou, don't get upset. You did something wrong, atleast you now recognise that and know not to do it again, well, not to me atleast. If you can't handle getting yelled at, you certainly wouldn't be able to handle my training. So tell me, do you think you're ready to progress and improve? Or are you happy with how you are now. If you don't wish to work, you can go find another mentor as I refuse to waste time."[/b] Her tone was stern despite still feeling bad. [i]'This is for your own good Shou... I have to be strict now but once you're used to that, I won't be as hard on you...'[/i].
