[@AbigailTenshi] [Center][h3][b][color=92278f]Shinzo Harimaya[/color][/b][/h3][/center] Seeing Nishiki eagerly opt to get the drinks confused Shinzo...a little more when she said she'd pay. If she wasn't in a Squad...how was she making money? Shinzo didn't really want to think about it to much...no doubt she was doing something she wasn't meant to. Shinzo however was snapped out of his thought as Nairin sat down and spoke, asking him how he had been...he still didn't know how to answer that...how does one answer such a question? When everything inside you is chaos and you can hardly even think straight...how do you answer? Lying wasn't the way to go...neither was simply telling her everything...it was a decision that seemed impossible to make and it was a seemingly harmless question...at this point he had to spit some words out otherwise it'd truly seem like something was wrong "[color=92278f]I've been alright...nothing different from the usual stress of being a Captain really...[/color]" was it instinct that had answered that? when his mind couldn't decide something else seemed to take control...however...he just couldn't tell Nairin of the things he'd gone through...there was to much and she likely wouldn't understand...
