#vrooooom

Shinra blinked as he drank in her appearance, she was awfully small and short. The girl wore leggings and a white tank top with a grey cardigan on top and had on black running shoes, her vibrant orange hair reached all the way down to her waist, her piercing sky blue eyes seemed to match her hair in an odd way. Hinawa averted his gaze to the girl, Maki doing the same before letting out a loud squeal of joy. In a flash, the raven-haired girl tackled the orange-haired female, holding her in a tight grip as she lifted the girl up off of the floor in a bone-crushing hug.

“Rinnnn!” Maki cried happily, Rin beating on her muscular arms for her to let go since she could barely breathe. “Oh! Sorry…” the girl set Rin down, Rin panting heavily as she tried to regain her breath. “It's been so long! Why’d you never come to visit?!” Maki scolded the girl now.

Rin giggled, “I can’t tell if you’re happy to see me, or if you’re scolding me…” she breathed out, smoothing out her clothes with a kind smile. “But I’m glad to be back, after the mission I went on… I really needed a change of scenery.” the girl sighed, Maki giving a nod at her words, a smile still plastered on her face. Rin hummed, looking at the others in the room. 

“Hina!” Rin beamed now, Shinra tensing up at the nickname, even Arthur jolted back to life at the sound of it. Maki huffed, shaking her head with a small smile as she crossed her arms.

“Oh boy…” she muttered, waiting to see what would unfold.

Rin grinned as she rushed over to the seated male, his head snapping up to meet her gaze. He stood from his seat, the chair rolling back and slamming into the wall behind him. She outstretched her arms to the larger male, squealing with delight. With a grunt, Hinawa opened his arms to return the gesture.

Shinra blinked in shock, Arthur furrowed his brows while Maki grinned at the sight.

“Hina- Eep!” Rin cried out as he grabbed her elbow and shoulder, easily lifting the girl and flinging her to the floor. Maki grimaced upon hearing the loud ‘THUD,’ Shinra flinching at the sight. Rin groaned from her spot on the floor, rubbing the spot where her head had collided with the ceramic tile. She sat up, huffing in frustration. “I came here to see my old friends, and this is what I get..?” she grumbled, “I’m glad you all haven’t changed, besides the newcomers of course.”

“And that’s Lieutenant Hinawa to you.” the male stated firmly, sending the orange-haired girl his signature glare.

“Yeah, yeah…” Rin breathed out, standing properly and brushing her clothes off. “Now,” she turned to Shinra and Arthur with a grin, “Time for me to introduce myself!” she clapped her hands together with a giggle. “Third generation, lieutenant priestess of Special Fire Force Company 1!” Rin grinned, taking a step back to prepare her ability. She shrugged off her cardigan, bending over to roll up her leggings.

“Get back everyone.” Maki said, gesturing for them to move. Shinra nodded, standing and keeping a safe distance from Rin, Arthur followed. Hinawa’s brow twitched in irritation, but he stepped back as well.

“Rin Aoki, at your service!” she clenched her fists, activating her pyrokinetics. Her hair flared up, the orange strands turning into fire and beginning to flow freely. Rin’s blue eyes shone with pride as fire encased her hands and feet, a wide grin on her face. Though, her happy face didn’t last long. She sniffled softly, her face contorting as her nose twitched.

“Oh… Oh, no…” Maki blinked, “Everyone get down!” she shrieked, moving to use her ability to protect herself.

“Wha-!” Shinra squeaked, Arthur blinking dumbfoundedly. Hinawa grabbed them both by the collar, yanking them over to hide below the array of desks.

“Achoo!” Rin sneezed violently, her flames combusting throughout the workspace. The fire soon returned back to its original size, Rin eventually killing her powers. “Oops… I may or may not have a cold...” Rin hummed, she giggled nervously when she saw Hinawa get out from below the desks, turning to her with a hard, cold look in his eyes.

“Fire soldiers don’t play with fire.” Rin shrieked at his words, making a mad dash for Arthur and Shinra.

“I know we just met, but protect me please!” she cried, hiding behind the two taller men. Hinawa sighed, letting them be and deciding to go back to the now singed paperwork on his desk. Rin let out a breath of relief, stepping away from the two men. “So, two new recruits hm? And you’re both pretty powerful from what I hear from Lieutenant Karim.” she babbled, her eyes shining brightly.

Shinra gave a proud nod, smiling nervously as he looked at the girl. “Shinra Kusakabe, third generation fire soldier of Special Fire Force Company 8.” he moved to salute her. Rin nodded with a grin, then turning to look at Arthur.

He flashed her a wide grin, drawing Excalibur in a knightly fashion as he held it above his head. “Arthur Boyle, the Knight King, at your service.” he announced, sheathing Excalibur to salute her as well. Rin beamed at them, giggling as she looked at the two males.

“Please, please, I’m not one for formalities,” she dismissed them, “You don’t have to call me Lieutenant Rin, Rin’s just fine.” Rin chuckled, placing her hands on her hips with a smile. “And, I’ve heard a lot about you Shinra,” she turned to the male now.

Shinra blinked as he lowered his hand, he looked at the female with a brow raised and a nervous smile plastered on his face. The room around him seemed to shrink as Rin sized him up, despite him being taller than her by a few heads. Her eyes glew maliciously, her smile widening almost impossibly. A dangerous and blood thirsty aura surrounded the girl, even Arthur backed up from them as Rin took steps towards Shinra.

“Word is that you’ve got an Adolla Burst, and you fought with Rekka…” she giggled, looking at him intensely.
