Riu smiled over at Adrien and nodded her head. "I feel like all the energy I've had just sort of flew out of me. It was... strange." Riu bit her lip, trying to understand a little bit of what happened. She shook her head, realizing she wasn't ready to explain just yet and just gave Adrien a small smile, feeling slightly guilty. Her actions were inconsiderate and so unlike her. She felt like she let her emotions get the best of her in some way, like she had no control. She should have control. She shouldn't be raging out in a group meeting such as this. Though her body felt a little drained, her emotional status was the main reason for her feeling more like shit than anything else. Her whole body felt weak just at the thought of the disgrace of her actions. Hitting someone out of rage was not what her parents taught her. She had to crack a smile at that. What her 'real' parents taught her.<br/><br/>No matter what Hermes said, her parents were her real parents. She wouldn't take it any other way.<br/><br/>Riu frowned at Jaxon's word but honestly couldn't disagree with him and felt the exact same frustrations. All of this was so sudden. She felt like her life was over and she didn't want it to be over. She wanted to go back to work. She actually missed her stupid co-worker now gossiping about stupid horrible dates. She almost groaned at the thought but she felt a pain in her chest when she thought she would never have that experience again. Even though it was never something she wanted, the thought that she could never have it again was just as worse.<br/><br/>Riu glanced at Adrien at his suggestion of a change of atmosphere, which brought Riu out of her thoughts. She quickly shook her head and decided that was enough thinking of what once was. Now was the time to face what was in front of her as best she could. She inwardly winced and her heart sank. She didn't think her best was good enough but she couldn't worry about that now. She was in this, she should stop trying to fight it.<br/><br/>"I agree. A change of location may help us put ourselves into action." Riu spoke, already ideas swarming in her head on what their next step would be but she decided she wouldn't think too much about it until everyone was together and talking. They may not like being suddenly forced together, but they were together whether they liked it or not. Best not to make it even harder. Riu stood up at that moment, shakey at first but quickly became steady. She turned to Jaxon and nodded. "That's another worry, yes, but for now it's best that we just take it step at a time."<br/><br/>At that moment, Beaven and Mack spoke up. Riu inwardly groaned. She had kind of forgotten about them. She had secretly hoped Mack got fessed up with those "beneath him" and left earlier but she should have known better. He was probably think about what this whole 'chosen few' hero shit would accomplish for his rising famous career. She sneered at the thought but decided now wasn't the time.<br/><br/>"Fine by me." Riu responded, unable to hide a bit of disdain in her voice. She frowned at herself, wondering why she was so worked up over one person and sighed. Her thoughts and assumptions were judgmental and rude. She honestly couldn't believe herself today and even saying she just went through a traumatic event and found out she was some sort of demi-god wasn't good enough of an excuse to excuse her behavior. Riu agreed to herself that she needed to keep her thoughts and actions in check from now on. "Lead the way. I have a car of people need a lift." She spoke this time with a helpful sincere tone and truly meant it. She was going to get all of them through this, including Mack, even if it killed her.<br/><br/>She grabbed her purse and took out her keys, she looked towards Skye and smiled softly. "Do any of you need a lift?" She looked towards the other two. "My car is close by and I have plenty of seats." She smiled before heading out after Mack. She noticed him heading towards a motorcycle and quickly got to her car, unlocking it and looking over to if anyone was joining her.
