Hina took a deep breath in before talking about it.. "Well...I've um....met someone..." she started, now on a whole new level of shyness even as she tries to step up and talk about it...

"A man?" he asked, surprised and protective.

"Hai." Hina replied, looking up at him. "He doesn't seem like a bad person...he's a traveler...and a Rider too.."

It took him a moment to get his words out, as he wasn't sure about them.
"I'm happy for you," he said.

"Oh, I haven't asked him out...he hasn't asked me out..." Hina said, very nervous, "It's just, this latest part of my job involves me working with him..."The Second OOO's" as the President called him. He...seems to adore me...and is protective of me...yet for all of that, I can't speak well when I'm around him...my heart jumps into my throat and I just look away, red in the face. I...don't mean to burden you with this...I just wish I had more confidence."

"You'll get confident eventually. I'm sure the more time you spend with him, the more accustomed you'll grow to him, and you'll find your confidence," Shingo tried to assure her.

Hina closed her eyes slightly, forcing herself to forge ahead, "Thank you, but I think he could be someone who doesn't notice things right away...someone who can not notice something when its right there in his view. I might ask a friend for help with getting his attention.." she trailed off softly...wanting to get this out at least once..

"Then ask your friend. If you care about him, then try to be with him," Shingo told her.
Which friend?

"I will." Hina said, eating a little before looking up at him. "Onii-chan...I've got a favor to ask...I was considering inviting him to stay at this apartment, but my own shyness and indecision has prevented me from asking him whether he would like the idea. And I did not want to act without talking to you about it." She did have a point on that, he did technically own the apartment...

He thought for a moment, then nodded reluctantly, "Ask him; if he would make you happy, then let him stay. I want you to be happy, and if he helps, then so be it."

"Thank you, Onii-chan." Hina said, beaming proudly at getting his approval as she finished up her food as well. "So...what's on your mind? I was able to confide in you, is there anything you want to talk about with me? We can do that, as family." she said, showing another trait of how she had grown up without even realizing it

He shook his head, "I have nothing going on in my life, not like you," he told her, "Just the same as always."

"Hai, I'm just glad that you're safe, and doing well." Hina said honestly, leaning back in her chair slightly, looking at him.

He smiled, "You know, I'm going to have to worry about you even more now, being a Rider."

"Then I'll show you that I'm a Rider you can be proud of." Hina said, about to say something else before the Gorilla candroids began to sound their alarms, flailing their little arms around. "Case in point...." she said, turning to look at the little Gorillas before picking up each one. "Hai hai hai I 'm on it, I'm counting on you, Gorilla-chan-tachi." she said softly, and he could see that she adored them as she put them back in the milk can. "Seems that there's a Yummy out there...a manifestation of human desire that builds up cell medals. I stop its threat to the people, and collect my pay. I don't want to seem arrogant in asking, but could you support me this time, Onii-chan?" she asked, standing up.
