[quote=AbigailTenshi] Ritsuna took a seat onto the ground before Kaizo began talking, getting comfortable as he shared his feelings with her. She listened closely, truly interested in what he had to say. It wasn't until after he spoke did she share her thoughts. Ritsuna tried her best to comfort Kaizo and motivate him... whether it was working or not was an entirely different story.... [/quote] Kaizo listened to Ritsuna, he could see or more hear she was trying to comfort him and make him feel better and it kinda did, enough to motivate him to actually train. Kaizo took a deep breath then got to his feet then looked down at Ritsuna "Thank you. I guess all I needed was a little reassurance...or maybe because it came from you it meant more." Kaizo smiled a little at Ritsuna before speaking again "You best get back to Master Juki...you know what he is like if he starts trying to cook..." Kaizo then briefly remembered the time Juki burnt down the kitchen trying to make himself a sandwich, the thought made Kaizo chuckle a little...the man was a genius but hand him the task of trying to make something to eat and the whole world falls apart
