[quote=Kurisa] "Hmph! I don't care how good I did...I wanted to win! I wanted to win the piggy back bet!" Shou continued to keep his arms crossed as he looked away, he was being childish and stubborn sure but he was still a child. He'd eventually lighten up sure...but right now? no way...he did kinda need to test Rio also. He needed to know she could deal with how he acted, this was as important as anything due to him being a child an all...if she couldn't handle his childish ways then she likely wouldn't be able to deal with him at all...after all he was quite a lot to handle [/quote] [u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u] Rio's eyes narrowed at Shou as he mentioned the reason why he was mad. [b]"Oh so that's why.... How about this. No piggy-back... But I'll buy you ice-cream for doing well?"[/b] She chose to try and reason with him this time, but this wouldn't happen often so he shouldn't get used to it. Rio just wanted Shou to cheer up. Keeping her arms crossed, Rio continued to watch Shou. [b]" How does that sound Shou?"[/b] A certain task suddenly popped up in her head... she had quite a bit of paperwork to finish. [b]"Shou, let's walk and talk, I have work back at Squad 6 that I need to give in before the end of today."[/b] Turning towards the Seireitei, Rio began walking, expecting Shou to follow.
