Nice too see you again [Henrex/Rits]

It had been quite some time since Henrex had seen Ritsuko. She had been busy with making herself stronger, spending time with her girlfriend, Toshiko -- something that Henrex was happy for. He was happy that his friend was able to find these joys in life -- finding love, building her strength so that she could be a standalone force for both herself and her friends and family.

Henrex was not an exception in that regard. They both had changed quite a bit in the time that they were apart in many ways. Thus, when Ritsuko contacted him and said that she wanted to train under him again, Henrex was more than welcoming to the request, and now he too roamed Vastime, searching for his friend. Reaching out to sense the woman's spiritual power, it didn't take him long to identify that familiar presence.

So, kicking off in a burst of speed, Henrex quietly zipped throughout Vastime, roaming through the various buildings that occupied the entire of Africa, eventually coming to a small, local cafe that he could sense Ritsuko's energy from within. So, he stepped inside and looked around, seeing where the Russian girl's energy originated from and silently walked over, sitting down in the chair across from her as a warm smile spread across his features.

"Hey. It's nice to see you again, Ritsuko."

The two would look at each other and see someone very, very different. Both of them looked drastically different -- but they likely had ways that they could identify one another. For Henrex? It was the general presence that the woman gave off, the familiarity that he felt when he was around her -- everything just felt almost nostalgic to him. Thus, it wasn't hard for him to generally feel more relaxed and at ease, even in the midst of a rather populated cafe -- a setting he would usually feel rather unsettled in.

After all, everything felt easier when it was with a friend.
