[quote=AbigailTenshi] Rio noticed that Kaizo wasn't looking her in the eye during their talk so to make it easier for him, she looked away and looked down as she listened, only looking up at him when she was answering his questions. She looked at him as she spoke but then moved her eyes to the floor. Rio held her smile but continued to look down. She was quite an observant person, so she'd always pay closer attention to other's, especially those that interested her. A soft chuckle left her lips when Kaizo complimented her name. Rio shrugged and looked up just in time to catch Kaizo's smile. She smiled and continued to even when his had faded. Rio then close her eyes and smirked. She watched Kaizo's eyes scan the hut as he answered her question... The exact answer she was hoping not to get. Her face turned stern as she looked him dead in the eye. Her mind began to wonder as she thought about the possibility of allowing him to stay with her... She didn't think that was allowed, but she couldn't leave him like this.... Rio spoke with seriousness but a hint of softness as she didn't want to come on too strong.... She just wouldn't be able to leave him alone here without anything... [/quote] Kaizo nodded at what Rio said then spoke "Well I hope so...I do really want to get strong...no...I need to get strong...there is no other way to look at it...and I want to believe in myself but I can't help but feel so weak sometimes...especially when it seems like everyone else around me is getting stronger and further than I am even though I spend almost all my time training!...it's frustrating...but I know it will take time...and patience...two things I'll have to learn. Well Squad 2 should be able to help me but right now I have no one else to help me...I feel weak asking for help but it may be the only way forward..." Kaizo did have a thought about asking Rio for help but he couldn't...he just met her..."You're welcome and it will finally be nice to share with someone...well to be a Seventh seat you have to be strong so your Captain must easily be able to see your potential..." Kaizo then looked at Rio and then his eyes widened at what she said and he looked away and rubbed the back of his head "N-no I couldn't...I mean it's a nice offer but I don't want to impose or anything or get you into trouble for...basically taking in some homeless guy and plus you just met me so that will make it weird for you...Don't get me wrong it sounds amazing and would for sure be nicer than sleeping here but I would just feel a little wrong and I wouldn't want to put you out of your way" This was awkward for Kaizo and he wasn't really sure what to do right now...he didn't want to hurt her feelings by turning her offer down but he didn't want to be a pain and get in the way by going with her
