[ he nods simply at first, almost forming out the 'yes, ma'am' before she continues--then he's a little taken by surprise. and then, his shoulders relax and tension melts away, a breath he didn't know he was holding escaping him. he's trying really hard not to be effected by this series of events. he's supposed to be part of the police force, showing fear seems like it'd make more people... critical. ]

Y-yes, ma'am.

That should be sufficient to keep him from taking your powers. He's a dangerous, potentially unstable person.

I don't want you nearer to him than absolutely necessary.

I won't be. [ he speaks, crossing his arms over his chest, holding onto his upper arms. ] You don't need to tell me twice.

[ ... ] I know you're busy, but... can I do anything besides my job? Do you... [ need anything? ]

All right. Good. [ That's a breath of relief. It's good to know he'll be all right. ]

Thank you, but at this point it's just a great deal of talking and politics.

[ thankfully he stops himself from bumbling out a quiet 'you were worried?' when he hears echoes of relief in her tone. ]

Yeah. I got the feeling. [ he sighs, shaking his head. ] I wish I could help. But... I'll keep my shifts.

And I'll stay out of trouble. ... Ma'am.

Your shifts are a great help.

[ a hesitation, before saying goodbye. ]

And Riku? You can call me Roslyn or whatever else you like when you're not on duty.

[ somehow, he looks surprised--as if they weren't friends first for such a long time, and then shifts, quiet, unsure, more like the young man he actually is. ]

You don't mind?
