Small Fry

Ryu stared at the man for a long time. 

It was truly odd. He was spending more time looking at this sorry excuse of a Fiend more than he was the beautiful woman in front of him, but he felt like his mind was churning. 

He couldn't remember the last time he hesitated with a decision like this, and he was finding it hard to even look toward Ailsa in the first place because if he did so, then he felt like there was only one choice he could make. 

No matter what sort of hard stance he took, he would always have a soft spot for his women. He could be a hard ass in any other situation, but he didn't have it in him when it came to situations like these. 

Maybe that was because of guilt. No… he felt that it almost certainly was. 

For a hypocrite like him, it was funny that he even had such worries to begin with. But that had always been a part of him.
