Kaizo had decided to take the rest of the day off, he felt like he needed a break from everything, he hoped Rio was handling things okay, after all it was her who really deserved the break, however she did make it seem convincing that she was okay...he could only hope she was, if she wasn't then...well he'd feel like a fool for not realising. However to take his mind of the Seireitei he decided to chop some wood as they were beginning to run low on it, and they needed some for when the colder weather eventually kicked in or got worse. Kaizo then stopped chopping the wood for a bit and slammed the axe into the tree trunk as he wiped his forehead with the back of his right hand "Phew, I think that's enough for now. Didn't think I'd have so much wood leftover from the house build." Kaizo then let out a deep breath as he closed his eyes to think for a moment...

Rio was on her way towards the Seireitei but stopped, the sound of chopping reaching her ears. Breaking out of her inner ranting, Rio turned around, looking it the direction of the chopping noise as she felt something familiar. Switching her course, Rio continued to walk towards the chopping, hearing Kaizo's voice as she had gotten close. Emerging from between the trees, Rio stood opposite Kaizo and stopped, her face blank and straight. [b]"I was on my way to see you."[/b] She stated, her tone of voice seeming flat. She was still angry, fuming actually as her inner rant only added fuel to her already burning fire, the only way to notice this while looking at her was through the red glint behind her plum eye.
