Crimson-black blaze, king of myriad worlds, though I promulgate the laws of nature, I am the alias of destruction incarnate

It had been quite a minute since Hime had met Hannah but their first meeting between one another left an impression worthy of precipitating another visit from the graceful Shinigami. She was certain she would be able to find her by traveling to the same park they had met one another in or simply seeking her out through their contacts but it would seem that neither method was necessary in the end, as Hime caught wind of an explosion within the area and quickly used flash step to seek out the source.

The sight that greeted her was less than ideal - for she had found the lady of the hour she sought to visit and yet she was within the center of whatever rubble that remained of her apartment. Hime carefully walked, observing the area in the event that Hannah may have been attacked, remaining cautious until she reached the woman and stood before her. Offering her a hand, she pulled the woman from the ground and continued to observe the location, curious to know what occurred for her apartment to end up like this.

"Hannah, are you alright? I had been meaning to visit you for some time but I didn't expect I'd find you like this. Were you attacked by anyone? Did an accident happen here? Do you feel wounded anywhere that would require immediate care?" Hime paused for a minute as shook her head before offering the woman a chance to speak. "Forgive me for asking so many questions but I heard an explosion and wished to find it's source. It seems you are that source... for what reason, I do not know."

From Hannah's explanation, Hime had inferred the incident that occurred her was a source that emanated from Hannah - a violent energy that erupted, whose destructive force went beyond anything Hannah could contain through her Kido.

She had lost both her zanpakuto spirit and her zanpakuto - a wicked stroke of fate so devastating that it seemed to leave the blind woman on the verge of hysteria. Tears threatened to burst forth from her eyes as she struggled to come to grips with the reality of her situation.

She seemed as if she could fall apart at the seams at any moment. The only action to take in her eyes was one that came naturally to the graceful Shinigami as she pulled the woman into a warm embrace, one that felt as if it were blessed by a mother's touch as she softly ran her fingers through her hair.

To be certain, there was no particular act Hime could perform to bring back a zanpakuto or it's spirit that no longer existed but she could console the woman and prevent her from descending into the sorrowful abyss of despair.

"I am deeply sorry for your loss, Hannah. Though my connection with my own Zanpakuto has been somewhat marred - an action caused by my own design - I can only imagine how it must feel for those who have formed a stronger bond or connection to their blade. I am thankful I arrived to be able to provide with my support. If you wish to go elsewhere, I can bring you to a place where we can elaborate on what happened..."

Hime kept the woman wrapped within her warm embrace as she slowly guided her from the rubble, amber eyes surveying the area for any place they could go from here. It was clear that she was in no condition to be answer any questions that others might pose if they arrived here to inquire about the explosion.

A hint of sorrow reached the graceful woman's heart as she lamented the pain the woman was suffering through at the loss of partner. When a bond was formed with a zanpakuto, they became something akin to your other half, a comrade that accepted you into their heart after you took pivotal steps to learn of and temper your technique.

To lose that connection along with the memories shared was nothing short of a tragedy and although there was no solution Hime could readily offer to bring her zanpakuto back, she would offer her unwavering support in these trying times.

"I do not wish to fill your mind with promises I cannot make but I will do my best to guide you through this - Hannah." With that, she guided the woman forward, as if to say she would be the shield that defended her from the sorrows of this wicked world. She would offer the woman support because she felt that she too would do the same if the roles were reversed.

Hime's expression was one of genuine relief as Hannah's mood seemed to lighten up and she lifted her Asauchi from the ground. The two gazed at the mess before Hannah turned back towards Hime and offered her a cup of tea.

Hime bowed softly before nodding her head affirmatively. Tea was always welcomed and she did enjoy the first time they shared a cup of tea together. There was some small desire to poke her nose into what happened here but she would allow the woman to provide those answers herself rather than question her about the whole ordeal.

" There is no need to thank me, Hannah. I sincerely believe you would have did the same for me if you were in my position. A cup of tea would be nice. We can catch up on and speak with one another about our lives since we' last met."

Hime smile softly as found a place to sit, gazing at Hannah with a pair of attentive eyes, observing her condition which seemed to be improving gradually as the subject shifted onto a far more positive note. Hime didn't really have much to offer Hannah in terms of her so-called relationship with Elyss. To be certain, they were still treating it as a day by day process. They were in spending dates together stage. Hime swayed her head back and forth before coming to an answer Hannah might have found suitable.

"Our... relationship - if that is what you'd like to call it - is going well enough. To be sure, I'd go as far as to say that we are still within the beginning phase, if that. We did spend a date together, recently. It started off awkwardly but grew quite pleasant by the end."
