Oh no - seeing her break into tears made Riku feel like he had committed some unforgivable sin, because really he was clearly the only person who could have triggered this.<br/><br/>He didn't realize to do anything, but keep being wrapped up against Torikai and looking at the door Renoa had ran to until she spoke. "Oh, ah... yes," Riku replied and slowly released the embrace, stepping away. It occurred to him then that she really did not have seemed to mind the closeness an did nothing to shrug him off - maybe out of fear of hurting him, physically? Before running off to chase Renoa and Jun Riku bowed at Torikai and apologized, "Sorry, I should not have clung to you like that Torikai-chan. I just... didn't think." His gaze lowered to the floor as Riku rubbed the back of his head.<br/><br/>Not much more to say there though. First he had to go make sure Jun had calmed Renoa down. Riku followed the two (and any others who had made it to her before him). With hands clasped together just below his waist, slumped shoulders and a sorry look in his eyes Riku looked at the sobbing mess in the corner. Really it was kind of embarrassing that Jun asked if he was alright, enough to make Riku blush out of shame. "Eh... yes. Thanks. We're fine Jun-kun, nobody was hurt, except..." his gaze found the hellhound again as Riku's reply trailed off. His chest rose in a deep breath as Riku gathered courage, then his whole upper body twisted to a perfect ninety degree apology towards Renoa. Riku was glad his long hair hid most of his face as he spoke, "I'm really sorry Renoa-san, if I did something that suddenly made you cry, I'm really sorry. I just... you two were about to fight and it looked like Torikai-chan was about to do something dumb. Could we maybe start over? I'm sure nobody wants to really bully you and you must be really sweet girl even if you don't understand everything about Japan yet, and nobody is expecting you to. You're here to learn after all. I bet even Torikai-chan is still confused about many things even though she's been here before."
