Rinoa never minded any thing about Squall normally. He was always very respectful and kind. He seemed to care about everything. A quiet day like the rare others, Squall was telling Rinoa about his day. She got up and walked to the counter a shifted through today's mail. She noticed something was for her. Leaving all the stupid annoying bills on the counter she went to the table and sat down half way listening to Squall while he walked around the kitchen talking. Rinoa opened the letter and began reading it unsure at first of whom it was from. After just a few lines tears burned her eyes, threatening to fall down the instant she moved. She simply stared into the letter.

"So Quistis asked me if she could go down with the trainees still who haven't taken their field exam. She's a bit more stand offish through with her help in battle. We're all so powerful that even with her basic whip she kills the monsters to fast." Squall kept rambling on. Then he noticed how unusually quiet Rinoa was being.

A tear slipped out of her eye and rolled down her cheek slowly dropping off her chin on to the letter. Squall slid to her and placed his hand under her chin having her look up. "Rin, Are you okay?" She didnt respond and turned away some what. Squall looked down on to the table at the letter she dropped when he touched her. He picked it up and read over it a few times. He turned her around. "Is this what is bothering you? Empty threats?"

Rinoa let her tears fall and began to cry more with every word she spoke. "Is that all!? DAMMIT! Squall don't you care even a little that im being harassed?! OR does it not bother you that someone wants me dead because i am not willing to love them because i love you!?"

"Hey you could take TK no problem! How come your letting some little shrimp get to you?!" At his statement making her seem fragile and weak like she was when she was scared but not truely, she reached up and slapped Squall across his face. A bright red mark was left on his right cheek. She got up and left to Quistis' place.
