Zenith waved away her concern, dabbing at his nose with his other sleeve as he sat up. "No, I am fine." He saw as she stood, looking in the same direction. He watched as Naoki ran off, followed shortly by the mute Vivian. "Christ..." He gave a sigh, realizing the folly of his thoughts. True, he had broken down into a monster. But that gave him no reason to leave these three. Though he didn't entirely trust any single one of them in completeness, he felt a strange bond with them that he didn't with the other Deviants. Perhaps it was their willingness to be friendly. Or perhaps because they four all had met on the first minute here. Or perhaps because he was a gentleman amongst ladies, and a gentleman's job is to sacrifice his own well-being for that of the ladies'.

Whatever the reason, Zenith now felt partially responsible for these women. And he intended to do right...eventually, he knew, he would grow to trust them. He might give them his full history then. Maybe make a history of his own with one of them...

Shaking away the blush that came with the last thought, he stood and accepted the hand in friendliness. He paused after their hands separated, a question in his mind. "...why were you scared for me?"

After recieving his answer, he watched as Vivian approached. Is Naoki alright? he signed to her.
