Kaizo continued to look at Rio as he listened to her speak "Well that certainly makes me feel better..." Kaizo then saw Rio look off then he listened as she spoke. Kaizo closed his eyes then took a deep breath before re-opening them "I see...I'm sure you've mentioned your clan before so this sort of thing doesn't come as a surprise to me..." Kaizo thought back to when Rio told him about her eye, this made him slightly angry however he hid this completely "As long as you are not gone for long and come back I will be fine with this, I think I can handle a small while, while you sort this clan business out...And when you do return I would like to know if you are okay with telling me. I will be worried but I am okay with this...if you need any help at all then do not be afraid to contact me, I am here to help you as your partner and Captain...if I cannot do that then I am failing in both things I hold so proudly..."

Rio watched the house absent-mindedly, focused on what Kaizo would respond with. She knew that it was in fact a fight she was walking into which didn't frighten her at all despite what Fumio and Souta had told her about the one they were destined to fight. Something about the situation made her feel almost at home... it was weird, why would anyone feel so at-ease knowing that death was a high risk, not just for her but for the others also?... If anything, Rio just felt happy to help out her fellow Clan members and even though she still hadn't re-gained her memories, she was almost certain that she was a Hari... she did belong to something, she had came from somewhere, whether or not it was a good place, it was still somewhere... She wasn't alone anymore. [b]"Kaizo, you need not worry about me... I know that you will regardless of what I say, just like I was when you left me.... but, you still came back... You returned to me, so the least I could do is return to you. It's nothing big anyway so try not to stress yourself out"[/b] Rio turned her head to smile at Kaizo, more to re-enforce what she was saying than out of anything else. [b]"However, if it will make you feel better, I'll try to contact you if I need help. Which won't be the case since it's honestly nothing to worry about"[/b] Rio added a short chuckle on the end of her sentence to keep the mood light. [b]"So, what would you like to do now Captain?"[/b]
