Bond

"Rido should play with the next head of the Aido soon," Rin thinks to herself out loud. "The more they bond, the more solid his loyalty will be."

Rido looks up into Rin's wine red eyes. How is she supposed to play with a five year old? She can't even talk, yet! Much less use her own powers to entertain the two of them- it'll only emphasize how different they are.

"Maybe we'll train you two when you're old enough! Nothing will build camaraderie like being tor- I mean, training side by side!"

Don't even think about it!!! I heard you- you did that on purpose!
