Free Social RP: The meeting of four XSG's (Closed)

[Katekarin Mekatoku]

So this is a Free Social RP between two already accepted XSG members. Katekarin, and Shizuka. With upcoming and hopefully acccepted other XSG members Flana and Hitoshi. They all decide to play on Hitoshi's vice and meeting at a large casino known as the "Wynn" there this will be a social RP and hopefully if they get accepted they would of already have shared a bond with two of the already existing XSG members. Albeit they may of already formed a history before, this would make it possible to make an early relationship early. Because this is in a large public area and that they do not have powers yet it will remain a largely social RP. The location really didnt matter but Hitoshi would be comfortable if it was in a casino.

The time is currently midnight and the casino is full of life. If you all want we can post an itroductoy before all this and ones preperation before departing to go to Las Vegas Nevada, A.K.A The City of Sin! So get ready to start! And Remember! Have fun.

Whom ever wants the first post go for it. If not I guess I'll start it off.

[crazylegion]

There was much noise and cheer throughout the large Casino. Slot machines were making annoying noises, money was wasted on useless bets that they shouldn't have made in the first place. It was all harmless cheer...that might end up in someone getting beat up in an alley. But other than that it was lighthearted. Various noises were heard all around, some decent, others way too repetitive and likely wouldn't stop for the rest of the evening. The smell of red whine and margarita's filled the air as a sort of veil. It was kind of funny when one thought about it. With a dark and eerie night that looks as if it were set in some sort of horror film, there were still hundreds of people running around wasting their money, attempting some sort of get rich quick scheme that will obviously never work.

In the midst of the wild eyed individual's filled with a greed no amount of money would ever satisfy, sat Hitoshi whistling a soft tune. He had just recently become a Higher-ups member of a strange little group named Xcution. Well he shouldn't say little...in fact it was quite large. Okay strike that, it was a huge group filled with many different people. He ceased his whistling and leaned his body towards the table of which six people were gambling. He let his chin rest on the edge of the table. He was presently hunched down and very close to sitting on his knees. He watched the group of people intensely as they played their game of cards. He watched the faces of the whole table. This was getting very interesting...he was proud to be the substitute dealer for this game. The original dealer had left earlier on a certain phone call regarding his nephew. A pity to say the least, but it was a gain for Hitoshi. It has been his dream to deal out cards in Las Vegas, and now he was able to do it.

The faces around the table grew very tense and serious. Hitoshi sighrd. So, it was that type of game...he felt the need to lighten the mood by revealing a cheater in their midst. "So, have you guys ever heard the joke about that guy who walked in the Casino?" The group glared at him, but he ignored it. "Well, there was once a man who had a card...a very special card. So he had decided to take that card to a casino called "Wynn" and use it in a game. He had decided to hide that card up his sleeve for a rainy day. Not really too much harm, right? It was just a single card. Here's the punchline. What if I told you that card was an ace? What if I told you that guy right there..." He pointed at a nervous looking fellow with his face in shock. "Had cheated in this game I like to call Blackjack." The were murmurs throughout the group and they all debating on whether it was true, when the cheater took this chance to get up and make a run for it. The group was silent and slightly confused. "Well, aren't you going to go after him?!" The posse had gotten up before he even finished talking and began to chase the man.

Ah yes, Vegas. He grabbed an unfinished drink from the table and took a sip of it. The City of Sin.

[Katekarin Mekatoku]

The time was currently 3:00 AM and the alarm rang out with a loud ring. Katekarin whom had suffered a nightmare had screamed out loud before looking around. The room was very dark and that the only noise was the soft chirps of the grass hoppers and the cars driving by. No one other than himself was in his home and that he had awoken for nothing. Katekarin sat up, already dressed in his gas mask he merely needed to put on Zukarinkuari's usual attire then his own attire. Truth be told he was annoyed by the constant need to wear two outfits before he is able to function and leave the house.

After getting ready the time was now 3:25 AM and he had walked tot he kitchen to prepare his family Giseng Tea and placed them in packets and into his luggage. He had something to do today and he was to head to Las Vegas Nevada and meet two new XSG members. This was quiet interesting for Zukarinkuari but Katekarin was less than willing to head into another country just to meet someone whom might end up back stabbing him. And also he had to get dressed and go to a public area. He had a severe dislike for crowded areas, more so with public areas such as Casinos and more scarily the airport. He had to enter Okinawa International Airport terminal and that meant he would get uncomfortable stares especially by security.

Other than the staring he had hoped that he would not get any stress and had chosen to skip taking his meds. Although his Schizophrenia would get in the way, it did not get into a severe manner unless brought under intense stress. He sighed and hoped that this would not be the case and had began to get his things together, especially his traveling tea kit and extra tea with several of his and Zukarinkuaris clothing. He was weary but part of him was assured by the fact that he were to be traveling with Shizuka, he trusted that she would be there to make sure that his schizophrenia would not break out and that he would remain calm and make all the bad stressors go away. So part of him was rest assured that there wont be any accidents that would end up making this trip a living hell.

Once he made it to the airport he made sure to wait outside for his partner Shizuka. Sitting on a curb drinking tea, and staring off. "I hope that this wont turn out bad." as he knew that he is getting stared at by passerbyers and other security. This is obviously for safety reasons but hes sitting in a corner drinking tea. He simply sighed and continued tending to his own business.

Stress Level 1%

[Shizuka Sanamizu ✮]

OOC: For reference, I'll be Shizuka and Flana. Whichever account I post in will have both characters in it, but that account will be the main voice of the post due to my laziness.

IC:
"Onee-sama... Why do we have to travel? I don't want to go all the way out to Las Vegas! I don't even know what it'll be like!"

"You have to be more social. Sticking to my arm all the time isn't going to help you make more friends. You're cute enough, so why not show off a bit of that charm?"

"Charm? I don't want to talk to anyone if I can help it."

"You can't always be like me, you know. Branch out. Just because I'm afraid of strangers doesn't mean you have to be."

Shizuka had just finished helping out her little friend with her luggage and everything that went along with it. She was actually excited to visit America. She heard Las Vegas was the home of tons of casinos and scandalous experiences and such. Unfortunately, Flana Scarlet didn't think much of it. She was always tied to Shizuka's arm like a rope and refused to let go of her. She was shy sometimes, but she wasn't very sure how to communicate with other people since she was usually locked up in her room with no friends to talk to. She had always been alone and secluded, remaining by herself as her only true friends were those in her mansion along with her. It's a good thing Shizuka was around and found Flana the way she did. Otherwise this poor little girl would be lost without her powers with nowhere to go, probably making all of the wrong decisions.

In a matter of minutes, the two girls made it to the airport after riding in a taxi for so long. Shizuka fell asleep a few times, and Flana had her head on her friend's lap at many points throughout the hour-long trip. Once they got to the airport, however, Shizuka smiled and laughed when she saw Katekarin sitting on the curb drinking tea. She and Flana grabbed their bags, dragged them out of the back of the taxi, and ran up next to Katekarin. Shizuka kept grinning and Flana hid partially behind her, attempting to keep out of Katekarin's sight. Shizuka sighed and moved slightly, allowing Katekarin to actually see the little girl. Still, Flana tried everything to remain to herself and away from Katekarin until Shizuka explained their relationship and how they met, keeping out all of the details of him being slightly insane. He was nice enough to not deserve that title.

"Oh, I get it. So you guys are friends?" Flana played with her skirt and glanced up at Katekarin.

"The very best. I saved him a while back and we just got along ever since."

"Interesting... He's old, though. I had no idea he was actually that old! He could be my dad! He could--" He could be her dad!

"Well, yes, I suppose you could say th--"

"Daddy!" Flana grabbed Katekarin's arm and hugged it as tight as she could, smiling in such an innocent manner. Shizuka spazzed and tried to take Flana back, but she stayed on his arm. A sigh was heard from the older girl. It couldn't be helped.

The three of them went through the entire process of getting their bags checked and finding the terminal where they had to sit and wait for a plane. Shizuka grabbed some snacks and juice for Flana, then a bagel for herself and some iced tea for Katekarin. She was considerate. She knew what the two of them liked. Flana was giggling and swishing her legs all over the place as they waited for their plane. Shizuka couldn't help but think that she acted so different from when her Fullbring was activated. Shizuka had never experienced it, but she remembered when Remina and Meiko told her the stories of their angel's childhood. It always seemed a bit scary, anyway. But no matter. Her first job was to keep Flana safe. Her second job, which might end up being more important, was to make sure Katekarin didn't blow up the entire airport.

[Katekarin Mekatoku]

It was not until later on that he would see a friend to him that he knew would not freak out by the very fact that he wore a gas mask was his old friend and current partner Shizuka. And we have a guest with them as well. And my isnt she adorable? She hid behind Shizuka which made him think that he frightened her. He sighed in a bit of disappointment and looked up at Shizuka.

"Well hello Shizuka. I see you have brought along a guest. She seems to be quiet suspicious of me. I come to expect from someone whom I have not known about." he then looked at Flana again and just by the way she looked he did not truly expect this young one to be the XSG he was going to meet with Shizuka. If so then he has learned a true lesson of not letting looks deceive him. When Shizuka had explained his current relationship with her she was greeted with the most oddest he have in a long time. He immediately felt someone grip onto his arm as they yelled an odd word.

Daddy! Flana yelled as she latched onto his arm. He was very confused at this point, but this did not add stress to him. He merely looked up at Shizuka, and even though she could not see through his gas mask. He gave off that kind of feeling of "Are you serious" type of sense that he wanted to make sure that Shizuka knew that he was asking if this was actually happening. To his surprise it would of been expected if she had nodded in reply. He sighed and rubbed her head "So. . . I am a father now... Great." he said to himself. The process of getting to the plane was painful in terms that he would be stared at by more passerbyers and soon even security. But he as assured that Shizuka would make them go away before things got too worse. They sat on the plane and Katekarin slowly drank his tea as he sat wherever they had placed him. After awhile he began to drift off, and into the hands of another nightmare, punishment from his own mind for not taking his medications.

It was really really dark and Katekarin was walking there alone. He tried to call out for a name or two but all he was met with is an echo and silence. He called out to a name as well, specifically a single name he would keep calling out. "Shizuka!! Shizuka!?" he called out, but all he head was his own voice calling out for the same name twice again. This really scared Katekarin because he knew that he was alone. He did not know this was a dream but he felt that he truly was alone. He sat down but immediately felt something cold, and wet. He would look down to find that he was sitting in a puddle of blood, as he took a panicked scan around the room he would soon find that it was full of corpses. With three hanging on the wall, two of them were loved ones from the past and to his immense horror. Shizuka whom the three had written in bold block letters written in blood.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

The voices began to shout as it repeated those five words. The voice repeated over and over again until he could not take it anymore. With most of his strength he immediatly woke himself up and possibly everyone else on the plane with an immense scream of terror. At the top of his lungs he jolted upwards, but to be hoisted back onto the chair "NOOOOO!!!!! NO! NO!! NOO!!!!" he shouted as he struggled to get himself free. screaming in terror before reality could hit him. Finally after he had calmed down a bit he looked around to see that he was still on the plane. With the chance that everyone else would be staring at them with quizzical or angry stares.

[Shizuka Sanamizu ✮]

"Pretty scary. I wasn't expecting you to see Onee-sama in such a horrendous way. You have two personalities, don't you?"

Flana's hand was grabbing on to Katekarin as he jolted awake from his awful nightmare. She was the one who pulled him back into his seat when he jumped up and tried to get away. She suspected his eyes were open but he was still half-asleep, which was probably what caused him to hallucinate a little bit before waking up completely. Shizuka was sound asleep to the right of Flana, and Katekarin had been sitting to the left. She glanced over her new friend, then immediately recognized something in him that she found familiar in herself. She could tell exactly how afraid he was and how worried he was that he would really do something awful, but that wasn't important to her. She was looking into his soul as she held her hand to his arm tightly. Shizuka forgot to mention anything about Zukarinkuari, so it was already impressive that she could take so much from simply watching him.

"I know how you must feel. He's inside of you, and you want to be able to accept him but you can't. It's similar to me. However, I'm just a big mess. You don't ever want to see me when I fight. Trust me. Even you would be afraid."

Silence took over for a while after that, and Shizuka remained asleep for a while, occasionally switching over from leaning against the window to Flana's shoulder. After some time, the plane landed and the three of them managed to wake Shizuka up so she could grab her bags and get off. Walking back to the pick-up area where their luggage was got a bit annoying, because Shizuka kept having to make sure everyone who looked at Katekarin strangely got a death glare. Flana joked around a bit, but also stared at people sometimes and gave them a sadistic grin every now and then. That got a reaction from a few others. They would immediately shrink back and look away from her. Shizuka scolded her and said it was bad to scare others that way, especially if she wanted to make friends. But who ever said Flana needed friends? She was fine with who she had.

Las Vegas turned out to be pretty dang hot, too. Both girls were in skirts and short sleeves, having worn their usual attire. After the mess of getting the luggage was over, Shizuka grabbed a cab and had the driver take them to the hotel where they were staying. A question popped into her head at that moment, though. Why were they going to Vegas, again? Was it just a vacation? How weird. But still, the three of them were being whisked away to some grand adventure or something ridiculous like that. Checking into the hotel came next, and again people stared at Katekarin. Either he didn't notice or just chose to ignore it, but Shizuka and Flana were both bothered by this. Those people had to get over it. What they wore was a ton more eccentric than him, anyway. What jerks, you know?

"We should go to the casinos!" Flana said, giggling as she hugged Shizuka.

"Well, we were supposed to go there anyway. It's day time here, and I'm not all that tired since I slept on the plane. I think we should go."

They had to be mindful of each other, but the plan to go to the casinos turned out to be a good idea. Shizuka walked through the doors like she owned the place, followed by Flana who caught a few eyes gazing at her. She also caught a few men smiling at Shizuka, and she was really close to murdering them. What sick freaks. A few slot machines were open, and Shizuka must've had a lucky day, because after she traded in some money for tokens and such, then started playing those games, she just kept winning. A bunch of people gathered around her and watched, amazed that she had that much luck. It was mostly just that she had no idea what she was doing, though. It's not like she went to these places all that often, anyway. It was just nice to have an exciting adventure every now and again.

[Katekarin Mekatoku]

(OOC) Now that's pretty scary. Seeing into someones soul like that. -shudders-

(IC)

Katekarin was brought back to his chair not by the seat belt but by the very hand of someone whom he had just met. They were on the plane and a way up from the ground. His breathing was immensely fast and hard as he scanned around the plane occasionally looking at peoples faces whom had looked back to see what had happened that would cause such a shout. He was not embarrassed but did not appreciate being stared at by other passengers. He looked at Flana, whom his tinted lenses would only show her reflection off the black lenses. He kept staring at her before he could hear what she was saying.

"Pretty scary. I wasn't expecting you to see Onee-sama in such a horrendous way. You have two personalities, don't you?" he was confused by what she had said. He did not know he said things, or shouted things as he slept. But it had seemed that she knew what he thought and maybe even what his dream was about. He was ready like a book, and just by touch. What kind of gift did she had that gave her the possibility to do that. He simply continued to watch Flana as Shizuka, whom was an intensely heavy sleeper kept sleeping.

"I know how you must feel. He's inside of you, and you want to be able to accept him but you can't. It's similar to me. However, I'm just a big mess. You don't ever want to see me when I fight. Trust me. Even you would be afraid." Zukarinkuari was watching the entire thing and was intrigued by what this young girl had said. He grin would appear on his face as he repeated those words. "hehehe.. She can see me in this flesh and in this brain? She has a gift, and she said even I would be afraid? She has strength with her. I can tell this one has a gift. It would be an interesting thing to see what she does with her enemies." he simply thought to himself.

Getting off the plane was a big pain as he would be stared at on the way to and from and pretty much everywhere in the Terminal. He did not mind much especially since Shizuka gave them a mean look that would most likely would of made them turn away. He had simply walked along with them as passerbyers would look away or stare at them. What kind of person escorts two teenage females wearing a gas mask? That was an odd thing, the security would be extra suspicious of this one as he wore a gas mask. More than enough to have them search his bags, but they did not want to risk it. So for that one moment they simply let him walk by. The bus ride to the nearby hotel was even more awkward as he would sit in the back and hope that they were not being stared at. He sighed and began to drink more of his tea that he had prepped on the way. With his straw and all, the heat that Las Vegas bolstered did not affect Katekarin, he refused to remove his suit none the less and he would walk around in it as if it was the right weather to do so.

The hotel was much much worse for Katekarin. As the security attempted to ensure that all of the guests were searched and that they did not have any dangerous material. But because of his attire the security felt that it would be necessary to pick on Katekarin more specifically. And on this day it was a mixture of respectful and disrespectful security guards, they had to make sure that Katekarin was not up to no good and simply stood in front of his way. "I'm sorry sir but were going to have to search your bag. For security reasons. Please empty your suitcase and remove your gas mask." a security male said. He appeared to be in his mid thirties and a veteran security guard. He tried to keep this as civil as possible but his partner prevented such actions. "yeah right! Like hes gonna follow you boss! I know these types, they are most likely going to reject your order and do somethin stupid. hey! BUDDY! No Gas Masks in the casino!" a young rookie yelled as he stepped closer to Katekarin. He appeared to be in his early twenties and was way shorter than him. He was stepping close to him and was invading his privacy. "So let us see that "smile" and remove your gas mask and show us your bags." he smugly said. At this point whether Shizuka and Flana intervened would matter, but this security's partner intervened as well. Dragging the guy away from him. Obviously peeved, the casino and hotel was a huge place and it was crowded and smelled horribly of smoke. Katekarin was glad that he wore a gas mask as he merely filtered this terrible filth they called air. He sighed as people would crowed Shizuka and simply stood next to a plant to look around and make sure that no one got too excited when near Shizuka.

"This place is too crowded. And the smoke is so thick that you can see it drifting in the air. How can people stand being so close to each other... and how can they let their skin be revealed to the world?" Katekarin had simply said to himself as he watched everything that was happening around him. "Hehe.. We should kill them all and see how they like being so close to each other now." Zukarinkuari excitingly growled. Katekarin had still not taken his medication and he could hear Zukarinkuari along with several other voices and see several things he knew or felt was not there. The other XSG member should be able to find his way to where Katekarin and the group were. Unless a man wearing a gas mask and a crowed of excited people around a slot machine was nothing. And shouldnt be investigated.

[crazylegion]

Hitoshi tilted his head slightly at the taste of the liquor. He had never known america had such great tasting alcohol. It had the usual bitter taste to start off, as all normal liquor does, but it ended in a sort of tangy taste. Yup, he loved Las Vegas. The Casino's were fun, there were plenty of cheaters to catch, and there was amazing alcohol. It was paradise for him to be in such a place. It seemed as if it were all a dream. The bright lights, and the greed driven faces. It strangely felt like home to Hitoshi. It felt like...Who knew a Las Vegas casino could be this time consuming. Oh God, he loved the Wynn. He felt as if he were at peace in the overcrowded casino. But he knew it wouldn't last, he would have to meet with the other XSG members first, then talk for quite possibly a few hours, and finally head back over to Japan. He hoped time would somehow stretch out so he could stay in the Casino forever, but alas, it would never happen.

Hitoshi swiftly wiped his eyes with his sleeve and glanced in a random direction. It seems that his previous action may have further increased his boredom. If he had allowed the cheater to do what he wanted for a while longer he would at least he would have some entertainment to occupy his time. But no, he just had to reveal the cheater too quickly. Now he would be forever bored until the other XSG members arrived, and he was far to impatient for that. He made a mental whine to himself. Dammit. Why did he have to arrive so early?

Being close to the entrance it was quite easy to hear a small commotion about a guy in a... gas mask? Well this was pretty interesting. Hitoshi's ears perked as he eavesdropped on the conversation. After a short period of time the conversation ceased with a rookie security guard getting himself dragged off. Hitoshi couldn't take it anymore, he had to see this for himself. The second he turned he found himself greeted with the sight of a gigantic crowd of people surrounding a teenage girl. At this point it had become obvious that this wasn't an average situation. A girl gaining thousands at a slot machine, and a not so average man in a gas mask. It was safe to assume that these were the people he came here to meet. He began walking towards their direction. As he got closer he noticed another girl nearby, close to the overly lucky girl. That one two...he had almost missed her,but he was sure she was one of them.

Hitoshi stopped and gave a sideways glance at the guy in the gas mask and gave him a friendly smile. He had overheard the man speak something about killing everybody as he walked up."That would probably leave a disgusting stench in the air. I'd be careful about doing that in this location. Smells tend to linger around here." He walked off without giving the man a chance to respond. He had expected him to follow as he fetched the other two members. He would like to properly introduce himself once they were altogether.

He entered the crowd surrounding the slot machine and knelt down next to the girl a few feet away. True he had moved a little fast, but he hardly cared. "So are you enjoying the game?"

(OOC: really sorry not the best post towards the end, but please try to work with it the best you can. I am presently being rushed)

[Katekarin Mekatoku]

(OOC) Got dang it. Zukarinkuari is meant to be just heard by Katekarin and no one else XD Its all good though. But can you change that a wee bit?

[Shizuka Sanamizu ✮]

"Shizuka."

Flana tried to get the attention of her older friend while she was busy with the slot machines. Her luck was actually ridiculous, but that's how angels worked, right? They always had a bunch of luck. Flana refused to gamble, mostly because she was underage and, unlike Shizuka, cared about getting caught. But also because she considered herself more of a demon, or one of the unluckiest kinds of monsters. She couldn't help it. But once Flana called her name, Shizuka turned around quickly with an extremely straight face. Concern almost crossed it, but she knew that she had to keep calm. She felt some other presence around her that Flana must've seen before. She nodded and closed her eyes, smiling to herself. It appeared they had a friend along who wasn't Katekarin. And he was closer than she thought. Flana and Shizuka both immediately saw a man staring at both of them, right by Shizuka's side.

"So are you enjoying the game?" He asked.

"She's concentrating a lot right now. You shouldn't bother her." Flana was lying, especially since it was obvious because Shizuka was looking at the man. "It's nice to meet you, though. I'm Flana Scarlet, and this is my Onee-sama, Shizuka Sanamizu."

At first glance, Flana's appearance seemed scary and surprising. The first few seconds anyone looked at her, they could almost see the demon within her as her red eyes glowed and she smiled with her enlarged K9s showing. She seemed like a demon. But the minute anyone looked at her again, her smile was sweet and innocent, like the young girl she really was. This man was a bit strange, and Shizuka grabbed Flana's hand to hold her back. Shizuka was feeling a bit uneasy, especially since she hated strangers so much and she was already freaking out a bit with everyone she didn't know being around her all the time. Katekarin had some argument with security over his gas mask, and Shizuka considered going over to save him. But something intrigued her about this man.

"Flana, don't worry about it. But, to answer your question, Mister, yeah. I'm enjoying myself. Gambling is pretty easy, I think. It's just weird that everyone is watching me. Although, it would be polite for the man to introduce himself before the ladies do. Right, Flana?"

"Right, Onee-sama!" She kept smiling.

"So then let's get started with being on a first-name basis. Let me know yours, and you can call me by mine." Shizuka then motioned for Katekarin to come over to her. "And you must meet Katekarin Mekatoku. He's one of my closest friends. But I want to know more about you. Okay?"

So, it was true that this man was older than her by quite a few years. However, she was also very cute. If he kept anything from her, she would just use her sure-fire way of getting him to speak in order to know everything she wanted to. It wouldn't be that hard.

[Katekarin Mekatoku]

."That would probably leave a disgusting stench in the air. I'd be careful about doing that in this location. Smells tend to linger around here." a smug young male had said as he walked by Katekarin had already have a low look on this fella. Mainly because he had spoken to him and merely walked away. Even though he wouldn't of said anything he should of merely stood there and take that he was gonna get stared at. He was already getting low points because of that. But what made things worse is that he approached the group that Shizuka was in. "What are your plans" he simply said to himself as he observed the young man enter the crowed. Without a moments hesitation he had entered the crowed as well. Standing in the section which he tried to make sure he got a good view of his friend and this stranger. He listened into the conversation and had listened to the conversation.

"So are you enjoying the game?" he heard Flana reply to this young man and nodded in approval. In the same manner a proud father would when a son or daughter had done something to make him proud. The "atta girl" nod. He wanted to keep this stranger away from Shizuka and if he was not restrained would of done it himself. Instead she simply replied to him. "Flana, don't worry about it. But, to answer your question, Mister, yeah. I'm enjoying myself. Gambling is pretty easy, I think. It's just weird that everyone is watching me. Although, it would be polite for the man to introduce himself before the ladies do. Right, Flana?" at that moment he wondered what she was up to. Why was she speaking with this stranger, and it hit him when she beckoned him over. As much as he was reluctant to go over. He nodded in agreement. "And you must meet Katekarin Mekatoku. He's one of my closest friends. But I want to know more about you. Okay?" he was reluctant to head over. But he did not want to defy her. All he did was walk close enough to where he was standing close to Flana and had a good view staring at the young man.

"I do not trust him.." he whispered to Flana. The way that she knows Shizuka reassured him that Flana can be trusted.
