Ritsuka eyed Sheena warily for a moment. Did she think he was going to get lost or eaten in the time it took him to go one hall up and over? With his track record, he wouldn't be surprised, but still! He was old enough to take care of himself! Sort of. He was almost thirteen at any rate. The cold weather outside and the approaching winter told Ritsuka that in a month he'd be having a birthday. December 21st and he'd be a teenager. ...what a disturbing thought.

Another thought hit him and he realized that had to be the real reason - Sheena wanted to see Soubi. That made sense and the boy relaxed, nodding. "I don't mind. It's not far away anyway."

Clicking on his flashlight, Ritsuka waited for Sheena to get ready and then he started off down the hall.
