[quote=AbigailTenshi] Rio smiled as she took a seat and sipped at her tea, looking up at Kaizo. She gave him a cheerful smile while continuing to sip her tea. After a few minutes, she closed her eyes and sighed before opening them but only a little; only able to see the tea cup in her hands to avoid eye-contact with Kaizo. She spoke quietly before taking another sip and placing her cup down onto the table. Her cheeks were soon bright red as she spoke, remembering what had happened only a few moments ago. She looked further down the table, giving another sigh before shaking her head and jumping up from her seat, a large grin plastered on her face in an attempt to overshadow her ruby red cheeks and rapidly growing embarrassment. She rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. Her grin subsided and dropped into a more genuine smile as she looked at Kaizo with eyes of interest. She spoke, adding a little wink on the end of her sentence followed by a small giggle to show that she was feeling positive about the idea. Rio only asked about the Squad since she figured that the mission he was given was from squad four, which made her wonder why he was with them. Rio smiled. Her days of being envious of other people's power have passed, it was a positive thing, not negative so she shouldn't of treated it as such. She felt ashamed of her behaviour but instead of complaining and getting depressed about it, she decided to change herself for the better and return to the way she once was. Seeing Kaizo again made her realise this and she was grateful for that and for him. [/quote] Kaizo rubbed the back of his head and smiled as she spoke about the hut then he spoke "Well that is true I guess...you do have a better memory than me anyway" Kaizo then stopped rubbing the back of his head when she began talking about what happened "Why are you apologizing? It was me who came onto you...I couldn't help myself...I should be the one apologizing but...I wont...It may sound weird Rio but I felt a connection there...I don't know if you felt something but I did...and...I'll defiantly tell you when the hut is finished...but...yeah that's if you even want me around after what happened before...but I wont deny my feelings, I wont lie to myself...but...Rio...I'm not in Squad 4. I am in Squad 2...I was...requested for a mission by the Captain but Rio why are you apologizing about the fight? nothing was wrong...I understand how you were and I hold nothing against you at all but Rio you're strong also...I can see it and you may not but I can and I will help you see it...but I'm not as talented as you think I am...honestly. I do not deserve praise...but Rio...I'm sorry if I have...spoken out of line, the last thing I want is to scare you away...You do mean a great deal to me, more than you can imagine" Kaizo rubbed the back of his head and smiled slightly, he wasn't sure really how he should react with what he just said but this was just what seemed natural
