"Guys, this is my friend Rio." Ryoko announced as she pulled Rio into the house.
"Hi, my name is Rio, it's a pleasure to meet you guys." Rio said with a soft voice.
She had to gather all of her courage to say those words. Although she was a confident person at work, Rio became timid around new people in normal situations. Especially when the people in front of her looked extremely cool and pretty.
Their group could indeed be intimidating for strangers, but as soon as they heard Rio, they greeted her with warm smiles.
"Rio!"
"Welcome!"
"You look so pretty!"
"It's our pleasure to meet you."
"My name is..."
"..."
In such a way, each one of them introduced themselves to Rio and welcomed her with warm smiles.
Rio felt her heart warming up with their friendliness. Which made her less shy to face them.
When it was Theo's turn, he smiled at her, "Rio, it's nice to meet you in person finally." He laughed.
