Without thinking about it, Gohan frowns a bit, "No ex, eh? That's kind of sad. From what I've seen, and the time I've spent here with you, I would think that people would be knocking down your door, though..." He glances at the bouquet, "Maybe that isn't always the best of things to have happen."

"I understand not having time for that sort of thing, though. With classes, homework, and this, I really just don't have much time for...well, anything else. I really just want to be a scholar, but I can't just watch bad things happen when I know that I can do something about it." He smiles a little bit at that, then points to Rise, "That's why, Risette, I swear to you that nothing bad will happen while I'm here. That's a Great Saiyaman Promise."

And then he strikes a pose. A silly, dorky pose. Think of something from a Super Sentai show, and then make it dorkier. That's the one, that one you're thinking of right now.

Of course, the second that he makes his declaration, a red tinged Mist starts to roll into the room, from the window, under the door. The Great Saiyaman stands up stiff as a board a gloved hand to his head, his mouth open. "W-what is this stuff? I haven't felt something this malevolent since Cell...Risette!"

If it weren't for the fluttering of the cape and the sudden closeness of him, one might not realize that he actually moved. One second he was standing near the door, and the next he was literally at Rise's side holding out a hand to her. "Come on, get close to me. This could be gas, and I'm not sure what effect it might have on normal folks."
