[quote=Kurisa] Kaizo continued to look down at Rio smiling as he listened to her before speaking himself "Well you are apart of my life, a large part of it and so you deserve to be included. I know you do Rio, I know you well, at least I like to think I do" Kaizo said followed by a nervous chuckle "That I am grateful for...as I said if it weren't for you I wouldn't be where I am now, it's because of you that I got to where I am now. Thank you...it makes me happy to know I've made you proud and we have come far haven't we" Kaizo said as he looked up to the house smiling then looked down to Rio to see her blushing which made him chuckle "of course I know that silly. You do know that I love you also right?" Kaizo said with a chuckle [/quote] Rio looked up at the house and quietly listened to Kaizo talk, finding his voice comforting. [b]"Well, likewise eheh.... And you do know me well, atleast you know as much about me as I do"[/b] Rio gave a little nervous chuckle of her own as she continued to listen to Kaizo, nodding as he spoke. [b]"Indeed we have.... And yes, I do know that"[/b] Rio looked off into the distance away from Kaizo, mainly to hide her blush as it brightened a little more however she managed to make it disappear soon enough. [b]"Erm... Kaizo... I need to tell you something so might as well tell you know before I forget. Soon I'm going to be heading to my Clan with two others, mainly just to sort out some things... I won't be gone long though so it hopefully won't conflict with my duties as your Lieutenant. I'll make sure to sort everything out as soon as possible and let you know what happened when I return, if you'd like to know that is..."[/b] Rio then looked back at Kaizo, giving him a small smile before looking back at the house. [b]"Are you Okay with this?"[/b]
