After a few moments of soaking up the information, Ren spoke. "Thank you Professor, that helped a lot." He started to walk away, but the cold feeling he'd gotten from the professor irked him. He turned around. "I know you think that what I'm doing isn't the best thing a friend could do, but the only reason I came is because I care, not just about the twins, but about Kiddo, too. All of their safety is my biggest priority. I want to know what I'm getting into with them, so I can help, and am prepared to, in any situation. That's why I came in today, to learn from you, so I can help them to the best of my ability. Yes, I was uneasy, and yes my trust in them is lacking, but only because they lied. I can't tell you what my reaction would have been if you told me from the start, but either way this is the way it is now. If we're supposed to be a team, there shouldn't be secrets. I'm sorry for this outburst, but I needed to explain myself. Have a good rest of the day Professor." He walked out of the room and closed the door.

He sat outside the door for a few seconds and realized what he did. [i]She's gotta hate me, but I couldn't let her think I don't care about them. It's just cold, I couldn't ever shun those two... I was just uneasy, uneasy because I didn't know the truth. Yeah... that's it.[/i] He wasn't sure what was the truth anymore, but he felt like what he had said in the teachers office was as close as it got. He didn't need to think about what he had said then, it just came out. Natural, and from the heart. He would protect his team. His friends were all he had.
