Although glad that Ryuzaki had finally relented, Sheena had to fight the urge to do a double-take. A bodyguard? Was he serious? Ryuzaki wouldn't hurt her; she was sure of it--even without Zaki being there. However, she didn't turn down his offer to stay, hoping that the three of them would be able to actually discuss things without any problems.

"Okay," she began, looking from one to the other, "now that that's settled, let's go. The dogs are already whining to be let in." The two fraidy-dogs had run right for her door when everything had gone down, and were now showing their impatience with the occasional whine and scratch at the door.

Turning from them, she looked at Ryuzaki in concern. "You won't have to worry about them once inside. They calm down pretty quickly in there." She was referring to their reaction when they first saw her friend earlier. "You ready?" she asked, positioning herself once more between the men.
