It may have been word of mouth. It could have been one of the many notes Reno left on doors or on beds (and in some cases, foreheads) of those he knew to be members or trusted. Or it could have been just as simple as a friend grabbing another for a 'walk.' The notes read, "Meeting. Morning, Jan 20th." There is no location, or any hint of any; Reno suspects most people will get the idea to go there, simply because it wasn't mentioned. It isn't supposed to exist, after all.

"I guess I can't really argue with that..." But there's a lot more he wanted to say. A lot more that needed to be said, but the words failed him, like they always fail him when he tried to talk to Shion. "Are you proud of who you are?"

Shion thought about that, because that was a much harder question. One that he wasn't sure of the answer to. He was proud of some of the things he had done, but if he was proud of the person he was... "I don't know... I'm not sure if anyone can truly say if they are proud of who they are." Who they were depended so much on circumstances after all.

Reno shuffled his feet and sighed. "If... if all we are is the result of experience, Shion, if those experiences were worthwhile, then you should have pride. Otherwise, if ya don't have pride in yourself, it's all kinda pointless and you're tellin' everyone that you've had experiences with that they weren't worth it."

Shion winced, he hadn't seen it like that. It was a complicated thing and he rested his head on Reno's shoulder thinking about it. "Then I guess I am proud of myself." He sighed and was silent a moment before he spoke again, "I didn't lose control yesterday... I almost did, but I stopped."

That's the first Reno's hearing of it, and inside he's about ready to burst. He gave Shion another hug, patting his back. "Shion! That's great! So this stuff we've been workin' on is helping, huh?" For a moment, the cold facade he's been wearing is gone.

Shion nodded, "Diarmuid helped... he found me." He gave a tiny smile, "But it worked, I was able to calm down." His smile got larger, he just hoped it hadn't been a fluke, that he'd be able to do it again, and without someone else there.

"Just remember how that felt, Shion. It'll get easier the more ya do it." And possibly remind himself to send a thanks to Diarmuid sometime, even though, honestly, he felt more annoyed than he should. Shion's his responsibility, and it hurt knowing that someone else had to help him... "Don't forget."
