Before the Ceremony: Mr. Kaden, Ryuuko, & OPEN
Ryuuko smirked at the larger man, agreeing with him silently. He was sorta funny. From his size and his gruff looks, she thought he might've had the same sort of rough-around-the-edges personality, but he was . . . soft. She wondered if he was always this way, or if her appearance had something to do with it. She was finding that many adults seemed to believe that because she had this small child's body she wasn't dangerous or strong or meant to be treated fair.
It was why she liked Blake. When he spoke to her, most of the time, he came down to her level to speak. The rumbling of Kaden's stomach took Ryuuko by surprise. The smirk faded and she looked at him confused. Had that come from him?
"You will need a lot of sushi," she said matter-of-factly before scooting off her chair and starting toward the food tables.
