[quote=AbigailTenshi] Rio stayed silent. If she could break this easily then there was no hope for her... He was right, locking her feelings away only made her weaker... But being controlled by her feelings wouldn't do any good either... She needed a balance, and she needed guidance, she was just too prideful to ask for it... That just shows how much she had changed since she first joined Squad 6. Despite her sad tone, she smiled. Once Kaizo lets her go, Rio would make her way back into the Seireitei... She wanted to stick around but she felt that if she did, she'd pass out again from exhaustion... So she needed rest... [/quote] Kaizo listened to Rio then nodded and let her go so she could rest...at least she was staying and that was the main point...Kaizo could now return to rebuilding the shack but he felt that soon he should seek out a mission...he wouldn't become a Captain building a shack. Kaizo once he had returned began chopping wood into appropriate length's, width's and thicknesses so they would blend in with the rest of the shack making it look right and not a hack job...once he got the bases done for it he would work on strengthening it
