[u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u]

As Rio causally walked through the paths of the Seireitei with Kaizo following behind, the nervous feeling in her stomach quickly grew stronger. She let out quiet breaths to keep calm and acted as if she wasn't quietly freaking out inside of her head. [i]'What am I doing? I-I can't go threw with this... I like Kaizo alot... b-but... I'm just so nervous all of a sudden... W-we don't have to do anything, yeah, we'll just... talk... Yeah talk'[/i] She smiled to herself and at her own behaviour. At one point she was all for the idea, but now that they were on their way to do it, she's suddenly nervous. [i]'Oh what am I going to do with myself~'[/i] She chuckled when the sound of a guy shouting rang in her eyes, shortly followed by cheers. [i]'Heh, my Captain would never be that enthusiastic'[/i] The thought of Captain Kuchiki preforming a motivational speech then entered her mind. [i]'Hmmm, I guess it wouldn't be too out of character for him, he's just usually quiet and stern, straight to the point. However, he does do his job well... I would never want to work for any other Captain than him'[/i] The pointless musing actually helped calm Rio during the whole journey.

Once at the door, Rio opened it and walked in, leaving it open for Kaizo to walk in. She then walked straight into the kitchen to make them both some nice, soothing tea. [b]"Make yourself comfortable Kaizo. Oh and I forgot to ask, how is that hut coming along? Have you started any work on it yet?"[/b] She asked, trying to get some sort of conversation going while making the tea and bringing it over to the table.
