It felt like his body was going through withdrawal the longer he stayed away from that place, so much so that he couldn't fall asleep straight away for a couple nights now and had to tire himself out by either jogging down one of the hallways or doing a couple pull ups in the bedroom doorway. It probably seemed incredibly strange to Sousuke at first, but as he already suspected, Rin kept himself fit, and he couldn't afford to skip a day unless he wanted his body to grow weak. Professional swimmer or not, immortal god or not, he wouldn't be giving up his routine any time soon... even if he had to do it the hard way.

At least he did promise they'd go back once they adjusted to this life better. Call it a rewards of sorts for a job well done. Well... "well done" remained to be seen. Guess they'd figure that out today then. Assuming he could even get Sousuke to leave the castle after this.

"Ah-- Yeah. I think so. It was almost like someone was talking to me even though I couldn't see them." Not to sound unconfident or anything, but give him a break. This was the first time anything like this happened! Rubbing the back of his neck, Rin glanced at the polished floor before turning his attention back to his shinki, noticing he interest and surprise flicker across his face. At least he seemed to know the basics, so there was no need to try and explain it further. Ahh, but that just meant he had to confess his idea sooner, didn't it? Tsk. Come on, Rin, this was no time to be nervous. They both needed to get their butts in gear and he most certainly didn't want to be responsible for either of them falling behind, or worse, getting hurt because of being too inexperienced.

So with a sigh, he pocketed his hand and offered up the most calm and casual smile he could manage. "Anyway..." Ahem. "Some kid's dog wandered away." AHEM. "Sooo... I figured this would be the perfect job for us."
