Inwardly he laughed, as she had <em>no idea</em> what his loneliness felt like, but he'd been dealing with it for essentially his entire life and believed quietly accepting the bad things for what they were and not trying to change them counted as coming to terms, but that was a truth he'd been hiding from. "Yeah...yeah I guess it is." She pointed out how often he trained and got a genuine smile about him. Talking about fighting, training; anything to make you stronger seemed to bring out a different side of Ryusei.<br/><br/> "Training...it's the only way I can get stronger. The only way I can prove being a Hybrid isn't a bad thing or a curse. And it's the only way I can beat <em>him</em>." He was of course talking about his father, and as he did, purplish-black wisps of fiery smoke began to flare out of his right eye. Talking about his father in this context always got him raring to go, and it wouldn't be a surprise if he challenged the old man(and lost) to a fight later. Then Nerissa pointed out how all that training had sculpted his body and how great he looked. Red crept across his face, and for a moment he seemed to go blank before he finally replied back with ..."Yeah...thanks for the compliment."<br/><br/> But then he heard his dad's voice over Albion speaking and the darkness roared back to life. Maybe his dad wanted a pop training quiz where they could all fight him to their hearts content?! Sadly, that wasn't to be, and it seemed the old man was only calling them to the Briefing room for an actual briefing. <em>Boring</em>. Sighing softly, he quickly shoveled down the rest of his food, then looked to the others. "I'll see you all there." Lily and Albion each went off on their own, but he and Nerissa seemed to be heading straight there.<br/><br/> He could have shadow warped them, but it had a disorienting effect on those who hadn't built up a tolerance, or those who just weren't built of the tough stuff in the first place. Besides, they weren't so far that walking would be a problem. When they arrived, he gave his father a salute, which the old man returned...then followed up by wrapping his arm around Ryusei's neck and noogying his beloved son to mess up his hair. "Dad...no! Stop...I'll destroy you!!" Of course his cries were ignored and his threat was encouraged by the old demon while he continued to mess with his son. Finally he stopped and he waited with he and Nerissa until the others arrived. <br/></span><br/><br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a7/03/14/a703147d50902aa78ea9fc06d4f60cae.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><strong>NAME:</strong> Azmodiel Tetsuda<br/><strong>DAY:</strong> June 15th, 2021, 9:05AM<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong> SOPHE Headquarters, His Office &gt; Briefing Room<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong> Open,Everyone<br/><strong>EXTRA:</strong> Mission Brief<br/><strong>WEARING:</strong> SOPHE Uniform(No shirt...ever)</span><br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">His commands had been short and simple, and with them given out, he could only wait and go over how to actually explain this mission to the team. The importance wasn't the part that would throw them off. It was essentially every other part that would get them yapping and complaining about this or that. Oei was probably aware of that as well, and left it to be his problem. That got a grumble from him. He'd be calling her later and at least getting her to buy him dinner as an apology for having to deal with all those kids. <br/><br/>But, being the reliable Commander that he was, he waited patiently for them to file in. Ryu and the pretty little fox Nerissa were the first to enter, and after greeting them both with a smile, he proceeded to capture his son in a headlock and give him a good noogie since he hadn't seen him since yesterday. "I can sense <em>somebody's</em> gotten stronger. Still training your ass off everyday even when I'm not watching over you? That's my boy! One of these days you'll be able to give <em>me</em> a challenge," he said with a smile and finally let him go. A few minutes later, everyone was gathered, <em>except</em> one. And it wasn't the first, second, or even twelfth time she'd skipped on a meeting. <br/><br/>He picked up his radio after looking at everybody else, then sighed and clicked the button. "This is Commander Tetsuda. Find Lily, bring her to the Briefing Room, double time." It was a simple order that all the soldiers knew by now. If someone in command called for Lily, whoever could find her was to drag her, kicking and screaming if necessary, to wherever they called for her. Some of the rank and file had even started to make a game of it. Whoever could find her and get her to where she was needed in the shortest time won a prize like a free round of drinks or a gift certificate. Very shortly after he made the call, the door slid open and there was Lily, feet dragging on the floor with a soldier on either side, hooking her arms with theirs. They brought her into the room, let go, saluted, then left.<br/><br/> One was already writing down the time on his phone so he could show the others later. "Lily Jimenez. You're late for a <em>very</em> important briefing. I wonder what punishment I can think up for later?" While he sounded cheery and as loud and brash as his normal self, an over-exaggerated smile (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ea/5e/74/ea5e74e498592b12ff12dd50102e2388.gif) could be seen as he looked down at her, a single eye glowing brightly while the other seemed to fade into darkness. And then, just as quickly, he was back to normal and standing with his arms crossed. "Enough fun time. This is a serious mission we have prepared, and I need everyone here to pay complete attention as I go over it, understood?"</span>
