Rin walks into the newly cleaned office, glances around to see Sensei sitting down, arranging things on his desk. 

The clicking of her heels alerts him to her presence.

"Do you like the place?" she asks, adjusting her glasses

"It's... better than whatever I left behind." Wick picks up and inspects a pistol. 

"I do appreciate not having to kill anymore."

Rin pauses, part of her wishes she could simply accept the president's wishes, but that's in the past now. She steadies herself and remarks,

"Sensei, losing someone is... rare, here in Kivotos, my only info on you is that you left a life of pain and..."

"Tried to... then it came and found me anyway..."Wick sighs, his posture drooping forward briefly, before straightening back up

"Look, I may not be the most qualified for the job, but if it means a life away from... all of that, and I get to start fixing things instead of making things worse," he cocks the gun in his hand, glaring at it intently,

"then I'll do the best that I can." 

Rin pauses once more, then breathes a sigh of relief.

"I sure hope you live up to your word, and the president's." she smiles slightly, before turning around and out of the office,

"See you at work tomorrow, Sensei."
