Before she'd realized it, the young man had snatched the phone, much to her sudden shock. No! He couldn't do, what she thought he was about to do. "No, Jae! Wait-" Rin attempted say as his finger went for the call button, but she was immediately cut out by the boisterous road of the one person on the planet that she didn't want to talk to right now. Her grandfather....
She cringed under the harsh tone, but Jae seemed to recover rather quickly, immediately putting two and two together. To her complete shock and utter horror though, instead of simply dropping the phone then and there, Jae rather bluntly made his presence known and began talking to the former Sword Emperor, like it was nothing. "Are you insane? Do you have a death wish or something?" Rin hissed lowly, as Squalo seemed to be loosing patience with all the waiting around. Of course, he was! It had been about a week, since she had last checked in. He was probably back in Japan from Italy and had likely caught wind, through his various connections that he used to keep tabs in her, that Rin had recently lost to the Spaggia Family Boss and had agreed to join their ranks.
It didn't help then Rin had a knack for finding trouble and her grandfather knew better than most the dirty tricks people could use to get what they wanted, whether that meant kidnapping or torture. He must have been having a conniption fit and it only seemed to worsen the deep sense of fear and dread that well up inside Rin as the sharp tones echoed over the phone one more and Jae rather cheerfully offered her the phone. He really had no idea how much hot water they were in, or rather, she was in at the moment. Taking the cell phone tentatively, Rin cleared her throat seriously. "H-Hey, there, grandpa." Rin replied in what was the sweetest and most innocent voice she could muster up, though to no avail.
"VOIII!!! DON'T YOU GRANDPA ME! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!" The voice boomed over the phone, earning a cringe from Rin.
"I-I'm sorry. C-Calm down. I'm fine, please remember your blood pressure." Rin began, attempting to diffuse the bad situation in the only way she knew how, by being completely submissive. While Rin was normally fearless of others as a swordsman, there were only a handful of individuals on the planet the she could truly say she was afraid of - Squalo, was one of them. Sure, he might have been older and retired as the Sword Emperor, but that didn't make him any less of a threat. Rin had found that out the hard way upon reaching her rebellious years, which in truth, only lasted less than two weeks, because her grandfather didn't tolerate insubordination.
"Look, I'm alright. I'm out with a friend at the moment, so you can you please take it easy? I swear, I'll explain everything." She added, turning down the phone's volume to the lowest setting possible, so Jae wouldn't have to endure the long-winded chewing out that she was about to receive. Ugh! This was why she didn't want to answer the phone, if she'd left it alone she could have bought herself a few more days by lying that something had been wrong with the phone battery. However, now Rin knew she was in for it and her grandfather had long mastered the art of running someone into the ground verbally. She could only try to play buffer and hopefully not allowing it to escalate into a bigger mess than it already was.

Jae finally realized what he had done... He had released a demon that hasn't been seen the past few years. Despite Rin turning down the volume, Squalo's angry and annoyed voice can still be heard clearly. "Was that a BOY?! VOIII!!! RIN! YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!!!!" He just stood there, shirtless, and whacked himself over the head. If the rumors were true, I... And probably Rin too... Are dead meat. He quickly finished his ramen and sighed.
Even after a few minutes, Jae could still hear Squalo ripping up the sound barrier with his banter and what not. "VOIIIII!!! YOU THINK I'LL BELIEVE ALL THAT?! YOU THINK I WAS BORN JUST YESTERDAY?! VOIII!! ANSWER ME!!" Jae just sat there, scratching his head, knowing that it was all his fault. He took out a lollipop from his pocket, unwrapped it, and stuck it in his mouth, letting the flavor take away his worries. But even then, it didn't work, knowing that he will definitely be dead. Rin probably knew quite a lot of fighting techniques and she'd probably kill him for literally digging her grave.
The phone call ended after what seemed like an eternity and Jae got up, revealing his toned body. He put his hands behind him and braced himself for a beating. His eyes were soft, revealing the regret and guilt in his mind. "I'm so sorry Rin... I didn't know... If it makes you feel any better, you can vent out your anger on me..." He knew it wasn't gonna be pretty and protected his whole body against any barrage that may come at him.

Rin didn't have to hear what came next to know he was not happy with that discovery. She couldn't count on one hand how many male friends or associates he had probably threatened for looking at her the wrong way, let alone talk to and hung out with her. "Grandpa, it's not a crime to have male friends." Rin explained straightly, quick to jump to Jae's defense, because if she didn't... Well, she could pretty much image what he'd do when he got a hold of him. "Voi! Your going to have to get used to the idea, you know, or I'm not going to do my job properly." She explained straightly, though he didn't seemed keen on the bluntness she was using and continued to tear into her, which was clear from the chatter on the phone line as he was quick to bring up the real reason for his call.
"VOIII! WHO DO YOU THINK YOUR TALKING TO? YOU THINK I HAVEN'T ALREADY HEARD HOW YOU LOST TO THAT INAZUMA BRAT?"
She tensed at the name, though it was probably to be expected. Somehow, despite having retired from the Varia some years ago, the man had a knack for finding out and keeping tabs on anyone he wanted. "No, I'm sure you have and I did, but there was no helping matter. I threw everything I had into the fight, but when you smash a sword over someone's head and they keep fighting... Well, it was impressive, I can say that much. I don't think I've ever seen one break into that many piece." Rin explained with something of a fond smirk, though her grandfather made pretty clear he didn't buy that for a second as he was quick to start barking at her once more.
"VOIIIII!!! YOU THINK I'LL BELIEVE ALL THAT?! YOU THINK I WAS BORN JUST YESTERDAY?! VOIII!! ANSWER ME!!"
She might have laughed had he not sounded so ticked off. "I'm serious, grandpa. He took a sword to the head and then smiled about it, like nothing had happened. I've never seen anyone with that kind of innate ability. The guy may no look it, but he's got potential that's Varia-quality and he's a honorable person." She clarified to make clear what had occurred as a steady sigh escaped her. "Besides, you were the one who said I needed to settle down." Rin added, knowing that at times like this, it was simply easier to use her grandpa's own words against him. "I don't intend to follow in your footsteps forever and they need me here, that's more than I can say about the Varia. Can't you just be content that I'm safe and happy for once." Rin questioned submissively, bringing out an old trick that was just as dirty as any Squalo had learned from the Varia and it was why he probably regretted having girls.
The phone grew strangely quiet on the other end. "VOI!... Just don't do anything stupid to get yourself in trouble... AND FOR THE LAST DAMN TIME - STOP IGNORING MY CALLS!" He shouted into the speaker, making her ears ring.
"Y-yes, sir. I apologize." Rin answered a bit guilty, but after a few more nod and listening, the conversation finally came to an end. "I understand. Yeah. Later, grandpa." She spoke, snapping the phone shut to end the call and letting out a heavy sigh of relief. Stuffing the phone into her pocket, Rin felt like someone who had dodged a bullet and with good reason. At the very least, Rin was contented that he wouldn't do anything drastic like send someone out to mess with Spaggia or worse, come here in person. The whole idea made Rin cringe. One member of the Superbi family in Namimori was enough, the town wouldn't survive something that catastrophic. Still, he had passed on a bit of information that was rather intriguing, that she would have to look into later.
However, for the time being, Rin returned her attention to Jae, who to her surprise was siting sprawled out on the couch, shirtless and eating a lollipop. It didn't make matters any easier when he suddenly offered to let her vent her frustrations out on him. "Frustrations?! I don't have any frustrations." Rin blurted out, suddenly realizing who he was referencing. "Oh no, that's fine.... I'm really sorry about that, Jae. I know my grandfather can come off kind of harsh at times, but in his own way he can be really not a bad person. In truth, if it wasn't for him, there's no telling where I would have ended up, so I owe him a lot. He just tends to be a little over-protective at times." She explained apologetically, not wanting him to think ill of the man. True, he was overbearing and strict, but he was family and Rin cared about regardless, even if they didn't always see eye to eye on things.

Jae was overcome to hear that he had been spared. He fell back down onto the couch and sank into it like it were air. He looked up at Rin and smiled. "But really... Wow, your gramps is the real Superbi Squalo... He was pretty awesome back in the day. I remember wanting to be just like him when I heard tales of him through my father's friends."
As Jae was happily reminiscing about his past and the fact that Rin was Squalo's grand daughter, he looked at Rin's bowl of ramen. "Hey Rin, you better eat up. The ramen's gonna get soggier." He was still shirtless and was sucking on his lollipop. He practically forgot that he was shirtless and was prancing around the house like any normal day. He's grown completely used to Rin in a matter of a couple of minutes.
After a strange moment of silence, Jae had decided to risk something. He leaned in and began to ask some questions. "Say, Rin. I figure since you're probably a mafioso that I should tell you something. Well... Actually, show you something." He laid out his hand and snapped. A nice, blue Rain flame appeared right on his thumb. "Seeing as though you're Squalo's grand daughter, you probably have the same flames. Right?" He smiled and let the flame linger on his thumb after a little while.

Not that Rin could blame him for that, since there probably wasn't anyone on the planet she looked up to more, but then it seemed to sink in suddenly how weird that was. Few people knew about Squalo, unless they had ties to the mafia and as she watched him for a moment, the pieces of the puzzle that had been bothering her for a while now, seemed to fall into place. "So, that's why you were so vague about your parents earlier?... I knew there was something familiar about it." Rin admitted with an amused smile, though she wouldn't give him to much flack over the matter, especially considering she tended to cover her ties to the mafia around most people.
"Hm? Oh, right!" She spoke up, suddenly remembering they had been eating, before the former Sword Emperor had called to personally deal with his wayward grand-daughter. Sitting back down on the couch, Rin quickly finished off what had been left in the bowl, but largely doing her best not to look. Jae was apparently comfortable shirtless and the shock effect had worn off enough not to be as embarrassed by it, though that didn't mean she didn't occasionally steal a glance upward.
Fortunately, Jae had something else in mind to break her concentration from the matter, bringing up her position as a member of the mafia and more importantly, her flame attribute. Although, she had to admit, she was rather surprised when he snapped his finger and revealed they shared more in common than a simple love of Ramen noodles. It was a discovery that instantly brought a smile to Rin's face. "Well, obviously, I inherited more than his looks." Rin explained in a matter of fact tone, though hadn't missed the apparent enthusiasm Jae was showing over the matter.
"Why?" She questioned curiously, though had some suspicions to what the young man was getting at. Of course, it wouldn't have been the first time someone had wanted to test themselves against the family's innate abilities. The issue happened quite a bit, which was part of the reason she didn't go around announcing the matter to just everyone on the street and had kept her father's surname as a cover growing up. There were to many people in the mafia, who would have killed for the chance to get even or attempt to use her knowledge for less that humane purposes, something Rin was always quick to guard against. Sure, she answered to Rai, but that was a different matter and one she had chosen for herself. In fact, he was so oblivious to her family that he hadn't even realized how narrowly he had escaped the wrath of the former Sword Emperor, but it was still kind of endearing in a way.

Jae was caught off guard by Rin's question. Why did he ask that? Jae just laughed and scratched his head. "Oh, well... I really don't have any friends... I'm actually seen as a delinquent in school. Maybe it's my hair, maybe my looks... I don't know, but all I know is that you're one of the firsts that I opened up to. Plus, knowing that you have the same flame as me just makes me feel so... Calm around you."
He blushed lightly as he said that last part and scratched his head. "To be honest... You're the only one I can really open up to, aside from my mom." He laughed nervously and took out the lollipop from his mouth. It was reduced to nothing but the stick and Jae flung it at a garbage can in the kitchen. "I don't know why... But maybe I've fallen for you?" He blushed madly and looked outside, scratching his cheek.

Mind you, Rin didn't have the best self-image in the world. She was an assassin, that was what she knew and she was good at her job, but the young woman rarely saw herself as little use in much else. She was a terrible cook, socially awkward, and the complete opposite of what it meant to be a normal girl. However, what was more perplexing was why the guys she met were suddenly confessing their love for and feelings for her. First, it was Rai and now, Jae was sitting across from her, explaining how comfortable he felt around and how he might have fallen for her.
Worse, they all seemed well aware of who her family was and didn't seemed to care, making Rin seriously wonder if somewhere they didn't have a death wish of sorts. Still, watching how sincere Jae was, his shyness and anxiety over the words, Rin felt her stomach tighten in concern. She wanted to reciprocate his feelings, but Rin had spent so long burying her emotions, even she wasn't certain what she felt now. There was no doubt in her mind that she liked Jae, as far as people went. He was sweet and a gentleman, the kind of young man that every girl dreamed about finding in a prince charming, but was love really as simple as saying the words. They'd only met little more than a couple hours ago.
"That's.... real nice of you to say." Rin began hesitantly, though her words were more careful, searching for what she wanted to tell him and not wanting to hurt him. "To be honest, I think your probably one of the nicest guys I've ever met. Your a gentleman and so kind-hearted, but... I feel bad accepting those feelings and you not knowing the other side." She explained, shifting a bit nervously as her gaze dropped. "You see, my grandpa isn't the only one whose ever done assassination work. In fact, I've spent my whole life with one goal and burying any emotion that got into the way of that matter...." "I guess, I never expected I'd find anyone that was sincere about liking me in that way." Rin added with a steady sigh. It sounded ridiculous, but she didn't know how she felt. She was still in a state of shock in many ways. Between trying to adjust to a new family and wrapping her mind around Rai's weird behavior, now she had two people telling her the liked her and she wasn't certain what to do about it. Rin prided herself on always knowing what to do in combat situations, but outside of that, she felt lost and completely uncertain of what she was suppose to do or say in this situation. Why would he like someone like her? It didn't make sense. A calming demeanor and being easy to talk to was certainly a quality of friends, but did that necessarily make it love?

Jae listened to Rin's explanation and nodded as he listened intently. He observed her body language and other sources like tone and eye movement as he listened, looking for traces of lying. He did all this while keeping a straight face with a slight blush. From what he could tell, she wasn't lying, but she did seem uneasy. After hearing her reason to her not reciprocating his emotions, he just smirked and chuckled to himself.
After the chuckle fit died down, he just sighed and scratched his head. "Please. With the rumors i've heard of Superbi Squalo, I can imagine you following his footsteps. Assassinations, murders... Can't say I'd welcome stuff like that in my life, but for you... You really didn't have much of a choice now, did you? He looked up at the ceiling and laid his head back, putting his arms around the couch and revealing more of his semi-muscular body.
"Anyway... I'd be more than happy to listen to your life stories. What better thing do we have to do with this hell of a storm outside anyway?" He thumbed at the door leading to the backyard, which was being pelted with rain like crazy. He closed his eyes and let the noise of the rain calm his head. "I expect you having a huge shock from coming to Namimori in the first place anyway, so why not blow some of that shock off here?"

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=width,350,true][STYLE=float: left; width: 100px; height: 100px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 5px;][/style][/classy][STYLE=width: 400px; text-align: justify; font: normal 11px arial; line-height: 90%; padding-bottom: 10px] Rin tried to stay calm, but when Jae started laughing, her face flushed red. "Voi! It's not funny." Snapped though, she looked more embarrassed than upset. When he quickly calmed himself down though, Jae admitted that it probably should have come as much surprise, considering who her grandfather was and had been that the abilities would be expected of Rin. However, it was his notion about not welcoming such things into his life, that was the very root of her problem, because there weren't many people accustomed to dealing with an assassin on a daily basis or tolerating the things they did. No matter where Rin went or lived, she was who she was and that was a very dangerous notion when it came to relationships.
"I still don't. Assassination and the traits the made the Varia as dangerous as they were, aren't simply a choice or a switch than can be turned off. It's a way of life and once their ingrained into you, it becomes instinct and instincts don't change, Jae." Rin explained seriously, her expression taking on something more solemn to show she wasn't joking, though she didn't expect him to understand completely, she hoped he would understand where she was coming from. However, it certain explain her warnings and concern earlier about his trusting nature.
Besides, Rin knew better than most, that while she could wear a calm mask, she still had a vicious nature and a darkness that still resided. In the blink of an eye, it could easily come back and be unleashed, without an ounce of warning and she would go back to being a killer. She may have walked away from the Varia, but she couldn't deny what was at her core. With a heavy sigh, Rin buried her face in her hand, glancing up at Jae's offer to blow off some of the shock. She'd never been big about talking about her feelings... Well, other than annoyance and anger, which she was pretty vocal about, but not the important stuff.
"I don't need your sympathy." She saw fit to clarify, glancing away a bit proudly or maybe it was her stubborn streak showing. "I simply don't like dragging people into the darkness that have no desire to be there. Because once there, like war and death, it changes a person... And they can't ever go back." Rin explained truthfully, speaking from experience. She liked Jae, a lot, but that was exactly why she couldn't see him hurt. The world needed guys like him, optimist and good people, but they were two very different people. She couldn't stomach to think about him or anyone else getting hurt and that protectiveness scared her more than Rin was willing to admit.

Jae was slightly taken aback by the sudden "Voi" and laughed rather loudly. "Pft... Not only are you Squalo's grand daughter, but you speak like him too." However, when he heard her rather solemn explanation, his laugher died out quickly and put a look of worry on his face. "Ah man... You sound just like someone who died once." He swung his head back up to her and cracked his neck. "Please, I've been through some rough times too ya' know. And I always know that no matter what, one can overcome their problems if they put their heart into it."
As soon as he spoke, he flinched at his own voice. "Wow... That was... Really corny, not gonna lie. But really, I mean everything that I said. And if just fighting by yourself isn't enough, you always have others... Or... Well... At least you have me." His face turned a nice tomato-ish red as he spoke the last part. He spoke on instinct most of the time, but realized what he was saying midway. He just scratched his cheek and laughed nervously.
He winced at the sudden booming thunder, but perked his ears when she began speaking again. After hearing about dragging him into things, he just laughed. After a few seconds, he just stopped and wiped his tears from laughing so hard. "It's cute really... You speak so proudly, but it really just makes you a lot more cuter. But no, if you're think you're dragging me into the darkness, think of it like this... I was born in the mafia world. I've been living in darkness for my whole life and look at me. Still laughing, making friends... Getting to meet someone as beautiful as you..."
He caught himself a little too late on that one and just blushed even brighter. He just sighed and face-palmed. "Ahh... In any case, I can fight back the darkness. Instead of letting it sit in, I've been fighting it all my life and will continue to do so. Just like light, I'll co-exist with the darkness... But, of course, that doesn't mean I won't fight back. Hopefully my new family will help make the mafia world a... Somewhat better place." He realized he was bantering about random things and just slapped himself twice on the cheeks. He just smiled dumbly. "Ehehehe... Looks like I kinda went overboard there... Sorry 'bout that."

That old habit was something clearly picked up from her grandfather and it was hard to ignore the similarities sometimes, though Rin clearly did her best to hide it from most people. When she got annoyed or relaxed around someone though, it tended to come out. Fighting off the flush of embarrassment however, her gaze remained steady. Of course, that wasn't easy when he was still shirtless and responding with something that made her thoughts stop dead in her tracks. Maybe he was right, though it wasn't her that had died. It was other people, people she'd come to trust and know that had gone that bothered her. It was one thing to remove a nameless person or to remove the existence of someone you didn't know, but when it someone close, the pain could destroy a person.
Jae was ever the optimist, though she couldn't help smirk at his words and his realization of how corny they sounded. Yeah, they kinda were, but it seemed she had a habit for attracting men like that lately. Dreamers and optimists. He explained that she didn't have to fight alone, a bad habit that Rin had. While her pride had made her independent, even she could admit that it was lonely at times. Truthfully, she probably wouldn't have ended up joining the Spiaggia had Rai not been so persistently bold in his wanting her to join. It seemed that was a trait they both shared, as Jae's last words earned a curious look as her chest flooded red once more.
The boom of thunder broke the faint silence as Jae started to laugh again, leaving Rin to wonder what the devil was so funny, as she wasn't fond of being laughed at. She might have snapped at him again, but his words suddenly silenced her as he confessed that her pride only seemed to make her cuter. Darn it, she was being serious here?! Why did everyone always pass it off as being cute. Of course, even though explained he'd been born into the mafia and was used to the mafia, she had to admit she'll had her doubts. There were good families in the mafia and there were bad, but whether it would ever get any better remained to be seen.
For now, she supposed she would settle with the idea that Jae seemed to have no regrets about what he did or was doing, at least when it came to speaking for the most part. Rin found herself staring at him seriously, as though studying for a moment, before coming to one conclusion. "You really are an optimist, aren't you?" She questioned in a serious tone, allowing a moment to pass, before a steady sigh escaped her. Lifting a hand to pushed her hair back, Rin glanced off to the side trying to hide to blush that lingered on her cheeks. "Alright,... Just don't ever say I didn't warn you." Rin explained in a tone that seemed not a care, but an expression that clearly gave away her true feelings. The girl really was to proud for her own good.

Jae was kind of confused when Rin told him he was an optimist. He was actually far from being one. However, he waved that thought away and just laughed. "Me? Optimist? Please... If it seemed as though I were hoping for these things to happen, I'm not... I KNOW they'll happen. Does it seem cocky of me? Maybe..." He just shrugged and noticed the slight tinge of red on Rin's cheek, just as she turned away.
After hearing her rather unconvincing, yet proud statement, he just smiled. He got up and sat right next to her. He faced the opposite direction, but turned to see Rin's hair. It was silky white and was beautiful. He blushed a bit, but quickly turned back away. After an awkward silence, he decided to man up and speak. "So... What'll it be... Do you like me? Or is it just a one-sided love like in those dramas?"

Of course, the recent bruise to her ego and past experiences didn't help make it any easier for Rin to swallow her famous pride and admit she was worried and scared. She was aiming for perfection with a sword, but if she opened her heart, there was a real chance of getting hurt and trouble now could be a complete disaster. However, before Rin had more time to dwell on the matter, she felt Jae's weight on the couch suddenly sink down next to her, and close enough so that her elbow was touching him. It was a suddenly realization that sent a heat wave over her, turning even her ears red at the sudden discovery.
He was shirtless... And worse, he was within arm's reach. Crap! Why hadn't the Varia training ever covered what to do in these situations?! Rin suddenly found her mouth bone-dry and forcing herself to swallow as her mind was racing, in a complete state of panic that was only made worse as Jae spoke.
"So... Do you like me?..."
That was all Rin managed to hear, as the rest were drowned out by the loud thudding of her heartbeat in her ears. It wasn't like Rin to forget how to breath, but in that moment, everything natural seemed to go out the window. She couldn't think straight and his abs weren't helping as she struggled not to look at him directly. God, she could feel them through her coat! Why did he have to make it so much harder to think? There was no way he was doing this by accident, he had to realize what he was doing, right?
"D-do you really think I would have bothered... to warn you about the danger, if I didn't like you?" Rin answered softly, though she didn't dare look up as her voice was shaking slightly and her face still red as a beet. She appeared as though she could faint any minute from sheer shock. "I-I n-never said, I didn't l-like you." She managed to stammer in confession, though she was shaking a bit. Part of it was probably from nerves, since she didn't normally come out and just say she liked more people. The other, was the fact that Rin's coat had been dampened by the rain and she had yet to remove it, which was now causing something of a chill, to distracted by other things to remember to take it off.

Jae, over ecstatic of her answer, smiled and made him relax. The stammering made him even more relaxed, knowing that she was still human. Being trained by Squalo since birth really isn't something any human can come out of without turning somewhat harmed. However, her prideful act made him fall for her even more. To Squalo, it may seem just like him and may strike fear in other's eyes, but for her, it was actually really cute.
When they accidentally touched, he felt the dampness of her coat. Figuring that he was starting to get the chills before, she must've been freezing. "Hey, why don't you take off that coat? It must be getting chilly..." He got up and went in front of her. He knelt down and put his palm right on top of her forehead. It was somewhat cool compared to his warm hands, but it didn't seem serious. That's when he made eye contact with her. Her ruby red eyes were beautiful and, along with her hair, made her look stunning. He blushed like wildfire, but quickly managed to compose himself, despite the obvious redness of his cheeks. "You feel okay... But You should really take off that coat."

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=width,350,true][STYLE=float: left; width: 100px; height: 100px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 5px;][/style][/classy][STYLE=width: 400px; text-align: justify; font: normal 11px arial; line-height: 90%; padding-bottom: 10px] While there were parts of Rin that, indeed, certainly favored her grandfather to some extent, there was a second side to her that few ever got to see. Sure, she was proud, bad-tempered, and stubborn, but underneath Rin was far more innocent and compassionate than she pretended to be. However, she'd learned a long time ago that weakness was not tolerated in the world of the mafia. The wearing of a mask had simply become habit and one that was hard to break, as she sat there with her head down, to shy to actually looked up Jae after the confession. She was normally so blunt and quick to tell people off, or that she was simply tolerating them, uninterested in friendship, even if that wasn't always the case. Still, it seemed Namimori was just full of people who were more than happy to bruise her ego with their idiotic kindness and good-nature.
Honestly, if Jae had attacked her when they had met like most mafia members, the matter would have been so much easier to comprehend. They could have fought and that would have decided everything, with no thought or consideration given to how it turned out. She was fine with that, that's how she'd survived up until now and she'd done pretty well for herself. Unfortunately, he liked her and she kind of liked him back, and that just seemed to just screw up everything when it came to her understanding of how to deal with this.
"Eh?" Rin questioned in confusion, finally glancing up at the young man as Jae rose from his seat to move in front of her. In that moment, she could see everything. Every curve, every inch of muscle fiber beneath the skin. Oh, for heaven's sake! Why couldn't he put a shirt on?! Rin froze though, when his hand rested against her forever, trying to calm her thoughts and slow down the rapid beating in her cheat, though with little success. She had to think about something else. Blood. Swords.Training... Jae looked like he trained a lot. Wait, no! Something other than that!
When he finally concluded that she had no fever, Rin swallowed back the lump in her throat, wondering why he was going to all the trouble. What did it matter if she was sick or not? Not like anyone else cared about that sort of thing. Which was probably why when he repeated the question of taking off her coat, Rin tensed slightly. She didn't like to admit it, but the coat was a safety net and tended to hide a lot more curves underneath. It was also one more layer between her and Jae, and that was exactly how she wanted it, wet or not.
"D-don't look so worried." Rin attempted reassuringly, leaning back against the couch to put some distance between them and glancing off to the side. "It's not a big deal. Not like I'm going to actually get sick or anything." She explained, as she pushed her hands into her pockets shyly. Although it was a bit of a fib and her grandfather probably would have yelled at her for being stupid about such a thing, if in fact, she did somehow end up with a cold later. However, like any kid with a security blanket, Rin was considerably more comfortable with it on, cold or no cold, and wasn't about to give it up so easily. Besides, she felt naked without it and it was hard enough to focus when one person in the room was already half-naked. She didn't want to feel exposed, on top of being embarrassed and unable to think straight.
