Casting Iron: Shu's Reasons

Hidden Emotions
The morning sun rose over Lexio town, making most of the drunken idiots, pickpocket, and murders hide in the shadows, not wanting to feel the warmth of the sun over their town. In one of the nearby hotels, Shu was lying down in his bed, eyes closed wearing only his boxes as the sunshine broke through the curtains to sparkle in his face. Feeling the sun's warmth, he sat up with almost no attempt to either yawn or strech as he walked over to the bathroom to get himself ready for the day.

After taking a shower and washing his face, Shu noticed that he took off his special contact from yesterday after his encounterment with Ruby. Looking at himself with both eyes, Shu began to feel a strange emptiness that he had not felt before, and when he tried to understand the emotion, an image of Ruby in her towel came to mind.

'Of all things to be in my mind, why is that the first one of the day?' He thought in his head before shaking the feeling off and putting on his contact, and headed out the door.

Despite his unusual morning, Shu kept his focus for the task at hand, figuring out what Dai had given his associates, and where their hide-out was. His train of thought stopped when the presence of another drew his attention, and hid in the shadows, looking down on the streets to find Ruby and her brothers entering one of the only decent resturants in the city.

Wondering why, Shu managed to sneak in through the skylight, hoping that he might be able to hear what they were talking about, but had trouble with most of the other people talking outloud. His luck changed when Geiger threw a bag of jewels at the manager, earning them a private booth in the back.
