Before Luna helps Sage, Ryo gets really reluctant of letting her help Sage because they have some sort of animosity rivalry between the two.
Chapter 10: Overprotective Ryo
A couple of minutes after that, Luna back to the Hall of Heroes and once she got there, she found herself face-to-face with Ryo and she was surprised that he's back here and she walked to him and said, "I thought you were at work."
"I forgot some of my gear. What's this I heard you saying that you're gonna help Sage?" asked Ryo, arms crossed.
Luna was surprised that Ryo might've overheard the conversation between her and Mako about this and she replied, "Why do you see it as a problem?"
"Luna...the guy is an Alpha. If he looks like an Alpha, talks like an Alpha, has a butt-ugly attitude like an Alpha and even fights like an Alpha, then chances are he's an Alpha." Ryo replied.
"So? Kiba's an Alpha and he's nice to you." Luna pointed out.
"Yes, Kiba's an Alpha, but at least he's not a streetfighter who likes to talk smack about everyone." Ryo stated.
Luna sighed at this and she stared at him for a bit and said, "Ryo...how come you and Sage don't get along?"
"It's not that I don't like him. I don't like his attitude and how he always wants to point the finger or at least give the finger to everyone for his problems. And that he says he's better than everyone. Even when we're in the same room, we just wanna get out of here because he thinks he's the ultimate superior." Ryo answered.
"Ryo..."
"Luna, you're like a sister to me. I don't want you to be taken advantaged of...especially from Sage." Ryo added.
"I'll be fine. We're just friends. Besides, it's something I have to do. He's really sweet and nice towards me. You just haven't seen that side yet." Luna replied.
"You sound like you guys are in love." Ryo added.
"No, we're not in love. Sage needs a friend. We're good friends anyway, so why not?" asked Luna.
Ryo could tell that Luna's judgment is very good and he knew that her heart's in the right place and he lets out a huge sigh and despite his utmost annoyance on Sage, he knew that there was nothing else he could do to stop her and he said, "I can't tell you what to do or what not to do."
Luna was happy to hear that and she hugged Ryo tightly for that and she said, "Thank you, Ryo! I'm glad you agree."
Immediately after that, Luna ran out of the palace in pure happiness to help Sage while Ryo was standing there, worried for Luna and she said, "I hope she knows what she's doing."
Big brother mentality. Stick around for more!
