Perhaps his sister was the polar opposite to him otherwise he couldn’t possibly fathom how his brother would have married into that family. Those ideations were negative, and assumptions of character based on preconceived notions. So instead, Enma pushed them out from the back of his mind to make room for a fresh first impression. It wasn’t his fault that they hadn’t crossed paths until now, but if this were the first time it was just as good as any. Enma laughed bashfully, [color=77DD77]“Yeah well it’s okay I’m sure my brother doesn’t speak to highly of me or me at all now that I think about it.”[/color] The shift in his personality was quite uplifting if he did say so himself, he appreciated Kiku’s efforts to correct his behavior prior to this whole spectacle. [color=77DD77]“Don’t worry, we’ll have all the time in the world to pay attention from here on out.”[/color] He wanted to end his sentence with calling Kiku his brother, yet the words couldn’t find their way out of his mouth. They had just met, and he didn’t want to scare kiku off so suddenly with the utterance of such intimate words when they had only just started to mince their own. The skin on his cheeks lifted, hoisting his lips into a wide grin in response to Kiku’s talk of bonds, [color=77DD77]“Yeah you’re right! We’ll absolutely have the better bond and synergy than the rest of these teams. We can only go up from here.”[/color] The young boy quickly followed behind hoping to catch up to Ria before it was too late, who knows, she could have already been knocked unconscious by their sensei already. After a few moments the band of brothers had finally managed to catch up to Ria before their sensei had arrived. [color=77DD77]“You know what they say, before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves”[/color] Enma said resting his hand on Ria’s exposed shoulder. [color=77DD77]“Just show her you’re better than that, kay?”[/color] he was with a warm decisive smile. [/indent][/indent][/color]
