All around the Tower: Various places

Reno was going about his business, almost a bit too normal, though he did look confused once in a while, pausing and looking around. Of course, he was keeping his eye out for Xion to talk with her about what happened, but so far, he hadn't seen her... he wanted her to know he was all right, that nothing bad had happened, just some torture and a death. It seemed like the best thing to do, considering the circumstances.

And the fact he couldn't find her, or Elena for that matter (hadn't Ganondorf said something about a blond friend?) that had him just a bit worried. Nothing was wrong, right? They'd both escaped, so she... should have been somewhere he could find her, at least. Right?

Awkwardly patting his shoulder, Reno shrugged. "It's fine. But you kids are kinda crazy."

Shion wrapped his arms around him and pressed his face into his shoulder. "I know... I'm sorry."

He was trembling, he couldn't quite believe he had done that.

This was a nice, sentimental moment. Reno sighed, and started urging Shion to move. "Stop that and go get cleaned up. You're gettin' blood all over me."

Shion didn't want to move but he didn't want to anger Reno anymore either. He pulled away, "Sorry..." this time it was for the blood. The nearest bathroom was nearby and he turned the water on and got in fully dressed, he only had the one pair of clothes and they needed cleaned too. He sat down under the water, brought his knees up to his chin and cried now that the sound of the shower would muffle the sound of his sobs.

Wandering in after him, Reno stood next to the door and listened. The way Shion had left really bothered him, and it seemed to have been a good hunch when he heard the sounds of sobbing. "Shion? Why're you crying?"

Shion froze, he hadn't expected Reno to follow him, he had thought he would leave now that he knew Shion wouldn't do anything else stupid. He tried to gulp back his sobs, he had already screwed up he didn't want Reno think he was anymore of a kid than he already did.

"I'm sorry," his voice had sounded confident in his head, but out loud it was barely a whisper, choked with tears.

Slapping a hand to his forehead, Reno sighed. "Shion, it's all right... it was stupid and dangerous and a dumbass thing to do. But you're the bravest wingnut I've ever met. That's sayin' a lot. Now finish up in there, and meet me down in the gym. Ya can borrow some of my clothes if you need."

It took a few moments for the impact of the words to hit Shion... Reno didn't hate him. Even though Shion had messed up and Reno was angry he didn't hate him and he wasn't sending him away.

Not that there was any where to send him... But that wasn't the point. Shion's tears stopped and he began to calm down. He finished showering, scrubbing the blood out of his hair and then wrapped himself in towels and went back to his room. Reno's clothes were too big but Shion didn't have any spares so he put them on, rolling up the legs and sleeves and made his way down to the gym, calmer now.

Reno was down there, just as he had promised. There was a lot of things to be said about the guy, but he usually kept his word.

"I think we might need to change up your trainin' a bit..."
