[quote=Kurisa]
As Shou got to Rio he found his blade locked against hers and just as he prepared to activate the next part of his plan he heard her speak and declare that the spar was over, this made Shou frown slightly as he pulled his Zanpakuto away from Rio's then dropped down to the floor and sheathed it as he then crossed his arms, his back faced to Rio. He wasn't angry that the spar was ending, he was angry he didn't get to win the bet...he wanted those piggy backs and wanted them badly, hence why he was pulling everything he had out

[u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u]

Rio narrowed her eye a touch as she watched Shou... but then he backed off and sheathed his sword. Exhaling a short breath, Rio sheathed her own blade before looking at Shou with a raised eyebrow at his seemingly angry stance. [b]"... Well... I must say, you've shown me quite a few things during that little spar. You are much more intelligent and tactical than I had originally thought... Your strength is decent for the level you are at now, but there is further work to be done with that as well as with a couple other areas but nothing drastic. I'd like to say that I am impressed... since I am."[/b] Crossing her own arms, Rio continued to watch Shou silently for a moment. [b]"... Is something bothering you Shou? Do you disagree with my analysis?"[/b] She titled her head a touch to the right in curiosity.
