@phosphorikos -- Slowly her smile returns, albeit rigid, like a cold chill blew over her face, leaving it frozen.
"Whether you like it or not, this is the only place you have left right now, so instead of being a sore loser about it why not try something else for a change?"
@phosphorikos -- But Rio knows he's been lonely. And she's known his joy when he finally found his way out. Right now, Vector's so far behind, he couldn't hope to see a glimpse of what might await him on the other side. And spending days ogling at the tv surely won't get him anywhere close. --
@phosphorikos -- "My, Vector -." she coos, leaning over the backrest, a chilling smile that never seems to reach her eyes pointed at the redhead.
"I wasn't aware you are so passionate about cooking. In that case why don't you join me next time? --
-- parts of his shark onesie stained in applesauce where it had missed his mouth. He was so cute back then, she thinks, not at all the deliquent he pretends to be now.
"How about this?" Rio's practically gleaming when offering the picture to Yuma.
"It's a deal!"she exclaims happily and then seats herself next to him, photobook in hand (her ammunition and Ryougas certain downfall).
Flipping through the pages,her first pick falls on a picture showcasing the smallest Ryouga who gawks at the camera with his wide blue eyes,--
Oh? She perks up at that.
"I doubt you can show me anything I haven't seen already but feel free to try."
Maybe they can exchange pictures even. And she has a LOT to share.
@gimmivckpuppets She doesn't look too convinced with the way she peeks over his shoulder in hesitance. Large cat eyes stare right back and Rio finds herself flinching at once. Back into hiding she goes. Fists burried into the thick fabric of his coat so her shield (Thomas) stays in place.
--
Eyes widen in bewilderment as her feet leave the ground all too sudden. For someone who seems so unflappable on the surface Ryouga sure is quick to act when prompted. Really, like the tide that ebbs and flows whenever he sees fit. --
-- She didn't ask to be picked up and carried like a child though. Even less when she can walk on her own just fine!...But...maybe once in a while it's not all that bad. So she sticks to not throwing a fit (this time), puffing up her cheeks with a huff. --
