Where he had come from if he wasn't a MON agent? The man was a mystery and even wore a proper secret agent attire to boot. He did raise a good point though, to which Riku chimed in, "That's right! I didn't mean anything bad. I'm sorry..." With Renoa calming down a little bit he still maintained some distance, trying to avoid causing her more tears, but still fidgeting nervously as he fought the urge to also hug the hellhound and tell her all will be alright.<br/><br/>Her story too was touching and melted all doubts Riku still may have had towards Renoa due to her earlier blunt behavior. She was really a poor little monster girl and misunderstood in the worst possible way. The details she could have maybe kept to herself though... Seeing bottomless luscious doggy made it really easy to imagine how she might sit on a couch - his couch in Riku's mind - and stroke herself, and... his mental image switched Renoa with someone else for a moment. Riku covered his face and looked away as the rest continued to console Renoa, offering her both mental and physical comfort.<br/><br/>He waited a few safety steps away, looking for a good spot to intervene and slip closer to join Tabitha in petting Renoa's head gently. Riku coughed, "Ahem...  Don't worry Renoa-chan. You're a sweet girl like Jun said, I'm sure even Torikai-chan will come to like you, if you give her a chance she will give one to you, and I'll be your friend too. Akira-san probably doesn't think you are a nuisance either. He"-Riku glanced at the imposing agent-like man-"maybe he just has difficult time expressing his feelings? Sometimes we humans are not so straightforward as you, and sometimes we're confused too so we don't really know what we want that well, but I bet he doesn't want you to leave, right?" Riku turned to look up from the pitiful Renoa and raised his eyes to Akira. Assuming that he was stared at once by one pair of teary puppy eyes and two protective kitties it would have taken a truly heartless monster to disagree with the question.<br/><br/>"Well, now that you've calmed down a bit I think it's best I return to the buffet room. I..." ...don't want to leave Torikai alone for too long, he would have said, but instead just let his comment turn into mumbling. Riku bowed as he excused himself and hurried back to sit down next to the harpy.<br/><br/>"H-hey Torikai-chan. Are you alright with Renoa-chan coming over after all, maybe with Akira-san  too? I think all that ruckus and stuff was just an attempt to get attention. She is very lonely and just wanting attention probably makes it difficult for her to learn how things work in Japan. I think someone more sophisticated and smart like you would be great influence on her. What do you think?" Riku only raised his head towards her at the end. He looked like it was genuinely a request he was expecting might get refused. Doing so was of course certain to make his weak smile drop into a heartbroken frown.
