Ritsuka felt his stomach drop when Sheena said Soubi had mentioned him. What was the older man saying about him? And worse, what could he have said that would cause Sheena's smile to dampen like that? He felt like she was judging him and his relationship with Soubi and he quickly turned away, curling up a little more against the wall. At least Ritsuka knew who Soubi had been hanging out with. Sheena seemed nice, even if she apparently didn't entirely approve of something about Ritsuka and Soubi.

It was good there was a conversation change. It saved him from the potential disaster of exploding at Sheena. Raine Sage often came to the clinic. Ritsuka remembered her well. Without looking up at Sheena, Ritsuka asked, "So you fight for her and she heals you?"

Not much different from him and Soubi, minus the part where Ritsuka was useless and Raine had magic.
