[quote=Kurisa] As Juki ate he noticed Ritsuna thinking, this caused him to set down his knife and fork then dab his mouth with his napkin before speaking "" Juki had a good eye for this sort of thing, after all, he specialised in the movements and expressions of all creatures, it was handy for not only battle but his work...~In the underground training room~Kaizo sat with his back against a large boulder, his head rested back on it as he looked up to the artificial sky "Why must this take so long...all I want to do is return to you Rio, I don't want to spend forever running away from something that wasn't even my fault...after all, I'm better now...I think. 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... [/quote] [u]Ritsuna[/u] Once she heard the sound of Juki's voice, Ritsuna perked up, the end of her fork in her mouth. She listened to him talk before her eyes slid to the half empty plate of food in front of her, placing her utensils down on the edges of the plate. [b]"I know you're here for me Master~"[/b] A smile slowly grew on Ritsuna's face before she looked up and at Juki. [b]"I just feel that Kaizo seems a little down... more than he'd usually get. I'm a little worried about him, maybe there's something he needs to talk about?... Did something happen?"[/b] She spoke her thoughts, unable to keep anything from her Master. Even if she did try to lie, Juki knew her thoroughly, enough to call her out on it almost instantly.
