Rio looked to the floor as Nohime spoke once more, unable to believe what she was hearing. Halfway through what she was saying, Rio looked up at her but didn't speak, simply just waited until Nohime had finished. There was a short silence after Nohime spoke, one which Rio broke by placing her right hand gently on Nohime's shoulder. [b]"I see. Thank you for telling me this, however... I..."[/b] Rio looked back down at the floor for a second before mentally slapping herself and looking back up at Nohime with a serious facial expression. [b]"What I'm trying to say is that it doesn't matter. Surely Kenta has returned to wherever he disappeared to now, if this [i]is[/i] the person I'm thinking of, however I still doubt it is. Anyway, I don't and will never hate you for that... You can't help what happened to you in the past, no one can, so don't feel that because you slipped up for a moment, I will hate you. I'm here to help you Nohime, the same goes for you too Keisa. You're both in this Squad because I see the potential in you, I want to help you improve yourselves and control yourselves. Now, back to business."[/b] Rio took her hand off of Nohime's shoulder before looking at both girls, settling her eyes on Nohime. [b]"I'm going to train Keisa now so I was wondering if you'd like to join us? Since she isn't a male, you shouldn't have any issues in those regards."[/b]
