[color=f7976a]"W-Wha... Me?"[/color] Ryuu muttered at Oliver's reveal. [color=f7976a]"You need me? For what...?"[/color]

Right before he asked another question, a tiny girl took over his train of thoughts.

The small girl asked if she could sit on his shoulder.

His shoulder.

The smol and tiny girl.

The very thought made him turn around to hide his eyes from the precious girl; his eyes shined for a split moment as his sunglasses reflected the flash of light. Covering his face dramatically with a hand, he threw his head up in the air and barely managed to prevent himself from screaming out loud.

And as he barely managed tear his hand away from his face, he answered the girl, his back still turned to her, as he slowly lifted his other hand to her direction with a [url=http://watchplayread.com/files/2010/02/hokuto_kenshiro01-e1266591987737.jpg]peculiar expression and aura[/url] that masked all kinds of emotions.

Continuing to maintain his stoic(?) and manly(???) expression and tone, he also told Oliver, [b][color=f7976a]"I'll be there in a sec."[/color][/b]

[b][u][color=7ea7d8]Aurelia Triniel[/color][/u][/b]

Aurelia flinched when Ara asked if she said anything offensive to her. Did Ara come off as offensive to her...? That did not seem to be the case. Rather, she felt intimidated by Ara's personality in itself due to the lack of knowledge she had on the woman filled with a confident spirit.

So she shook her head ever-so-slightly as she followed Rain.

She took note that she should avoid being with two thick-skinned men for a long time if she wanted to maintain a reserved personality. Being reserved helped her stay in the background, after all.

At Ara's question, Aurelia flinched again.

She still managed to put up a thoughtful look despite her concerns.

[color=7ea7d8]"Ah..."[/color]

The girl opened her mouth to speak, but fell silent. Soon Rain decided to answer first, stating that she enjoyed hunting. The word "hunting" stopped her heart for a split second, a bad memory resurfacing deep in her thoughts. She silently took a breath as she washed away the particular memory from her train of thoughts, and she quietly regained a bit of her composure back.

Not that she had much composure in the first place.

[color=7ea7d8]"I... like to read,"[/color] she whispered. And that was all she said. The girl pressed her lips against each other a bit as if she wanted to say more, but her tense expression loosened when she figured that she could not find the words to respond with another sentence.

The dark-haired girl continued to follow Rain and Ara, the distance she kept from them remaining the same.
