Atsuko Excalibur smiled as Hel offered her greetings and her welcome. It prompted the holy sword to give a calm nod in response. "Thank you, Hel. It's nice to be back!", she answered. Offering a bow in return to her fellow sword. It was true enough that there was one person that could connect with Rumia on a level that no one else could compete with -- not even Akisei could back when they were on good terms with each other. "Yeah, you have a point there. Rumia designed us to want to pick out that one specific person that can understand us, and we can understand in turn... I think because she knew just what that was like when she finally found it in Dawn." Oh, Akisei liked to make a big deal about how their relationship was. But that stubborn fool couldn't hold a candle towards understanding Rumia in the way that Dawn did. But even more than that, it seemed like Atsuko was the latest in greatest in making that happen. Maybe it was because it was a side of Dawn that was more like before all of the trauma had occurred. A wonderful dream made into reality. Whatever the case was... It was nice to see things going so well. Still, Excalibur couldn't help but laugh a little when Hel suggested that she didn't need any help, and instead wanted to be the one doing the helping! "You're right. You've been waiting a long time to be there for your sister. Just don't forget that she can be there for you too, alright?" Fortunately, getting everything back on track now that Akisei wasn't muddying everything up was an easy task. Hel didn't seem as stressed as she was before, and was even starting to joke about the circumstances instead of dreading possibilities. "Oh, she'd never live that down! Soragami was always so strict and strait-laced." That aside, it seemed Hel was curious about what else Excalibur showed up for. That prompted the holy sword to cross her arms and think for a moment. "Here I was thinking I was a little more mysterious than that.", she remarks. "Well, it's mainly that I think Atsuko and Rumia are going to need an extra push. Things seem to be going fine now, but I also know that Rumia gets so deeply conflicted about this because she can't quite understand how Dawn and Atsuko feel about Akisei..." It seemed like Excalibur was pretty serious about this... "I was thinking of making a suggestion to Rumia to better facilitate a bond between them. I think I know what would work, but I wanted your thoughts on it first, Hel.", she then finishes. ------ Atsuko smiled as Rumia seemed so fascinated and elated with the rings they had. The Kai then proceeds to ask where she even found these, prompting the Knight to straighten out just a bit, as if proud of the feat she was about to explain. "It took quite a bit of effort. But I asked around with some people I trust. Ayami was the one that pointed me to Capsule Corporation. Turns out they have a lot of connections to some very talented people." The Saiyan explains. "These are entirely custom made. They're our rings, in every sense of the words." And that was her cue to cooperate with Rumia. Atsuko allowed the ring to be placed on her finger, and... It made her heart race. There was a thrill behind it that almost reminded her of that surge of adrenaline from battle -- and yet it was different. It was difficult to place her finger on exactly what it was, with her only able to narrow it down to 'it's more positive.' Atsuko couldn't help but grin at Rumia's words though. "You know that means I can adjust your fashion too, right? I get to have a bit of fun at your expense too." That was absolutely not going to deter Rumia in the slightest, but it didn't have to. Since she was actually going for this, she might as well go all in on it. Doing any less just felt like it would be dishonesty and injustice. "So... This was technically supposed to be when I would reveal all the plans and special things, but I had to spring it early.", she admits with a slight shrug. "We'll just have to figure all those things out together." Of course... While this was an absolutely joyous day, there was also the fact that Atsuko did originally come here for training. But for the timebeing, she wasn't going to mention that. Rumia needed this, and unless the Kai was going to be the one to put the focus back onto that, then she'd settle for one day without training. Not like that was going to hurt her skills any. Besides, when the Kai felt like this -- who's to say what kind of training she could come up with now?
