Ritsuna paid no mind to Kaizo leaving, as far as she was concerned, he deserved to be upset. Instead she occupied herself with the gorgeous sight of the man of her dreams, that so happened to be her Master. She listened carefully and quietly to what Juki said, hanging onto every word as she usually would.

Placing a napkin onto her lap, Ritsuna shared out the food between herself and Juki. It wasn't until halfway through the meal did something plague her mind. Ritsuna kept her eyes down, eating absent-mindedly as she was lost within her own mind.

However I'm still not ready to protect you...something I must do no matter what...if you hadn't of found me, who knows what state I would of ended up in..." As Kaizo spoke the last part he closed his eyes and began thinking of that time...the first time he met Rio...
