Vol. 2 - Chapter 54

"I'm good," Satsuhiro stated blankly.

Next to Kaori, Satsuhiro sighed as the large man approached them, cutting through the crowd. He stood in front of them, towering over every person there, grinning. He wore his golden armor, but without the sleeves, showing off arms that looked like they were cut from stone. 

"I haven't seen you in ages!" His voice boomed, a deep sound that seemed to come from his very soul. "You're still as skinny as I remember, I thought Metsumi was gonna put some meat on those bones!" 

Satsuhiro crossed his arms as Kaori chuckled. 

"Didn't expect to see you here, Ren," Satsuhiro said. "Didn't you say you hated the cold?" 

"Ah," Ren waved his hand dismissingly, "I got over it." 

"Just like that?" 

"Given the circumstances," he said, a bit of seriousness creeping into his tone, "yes. Just like that." 

"Good," Satsuhiro nodded.
