Goths n' Ghouls [Aiko/Open]

The Unrefined Paragon

All in all, this was very much so a nerve racking situation. A joke even. What did you get when a blood wielding human, newbie Shinigami, and a bombastic eight foot tall Arrancar standing out in the rain? Fits. Many many internal fits. As somewhat calm and polite Tento was trying to be outside. Inside he was just, thinking of what the heck he was doing. Once again, he found himself facing an Arrancar. Hostile situation or not! He...needed to stop running into them. Each one got more attractive than the last. WAIT DID HE JUST ADMIT THAT?!?

Nerves were bad. Nerves were a wreck. Things inside were all a mess. Oh what the heck! The only thing truuuly saving him from his own flusterness was the hat and a desperate need to...do his job right. Hot ladies be damned. There was a possible danger here and well, still the other side of excitement where it came to the energy sitting on Kanako's Amazonian height and frame. And the unknown abilities of both. I mean, how often do you come upon a person holding a halo on their head...and than add that the halo is made out of blood!!

Flustered emotions were not a solo thing either. The slow exhale coming from Aiko made Tento think so at least. The repetition coming as a clear calming technique in his eyes. As Aiko gathered herself, Kanako spoke once again. Giving her name this time in which Tento gave a nod of his head. "Kanako huh? Nice name", Tento said with a straightforward positivity to the name finding it pretty as Aiko finished gathering herself in her breathing. "Unoccupied places are always the best. I think finding a nice place to hear the sounds of life is always a wonderful song to the ears". Hmmm, a very quiet nature loving Hollow perhaps? Or confrontation at least. It seemed Kanako was not the type to be eager and thirst after the fear of humans. Not really out for making them freak out and scream. Stay out of trouble. Hmmmmmm.....

Pondering this. Aiko spoke now in her now put together state. As her words came out, calmer and not too close together in a jumble. He made out the details of what had happened, at least from her as a witness, giving a few nods here and there. "Well. No one was done to you so I would agree all is well. A cute hollow dog though huh? Too bad I missed that", Tento said in a little bit of honest disappointment. He loved cats and dogs, he diiiid doubt a hollow dog would like him. But still. It would be a sight to see for the first time. More importantly, he turned his head back to Kanako. "I owe you my thanks and apolgies then miss. You seemed to help protect this lady. On behalf of defenders of the living, I thank you", he said giving a little bit of a brighter tone in his voice. Friendly. By all means still on guard, but, perhaps he could give a bit of thought that he would not be in the situation of a fight today? "No no, You are fine. In fact, makes my job all the more easy if your sprout out information nice and easy like that", Tento said giving a half hearted wave of his hand.

This was in tandem with Kanako's movement. The slight shrug, the tilt of her head that held that wild wet clinging hair. The kneeing that in all honesty just made her look normal height now as she looked Aiko in the eye and gave, a gentle smile? Huh...it felt strangly warm. Albeit..ah...rough. Very rough with those yellow slit-pupil eyes. Such a strange and unique look that in truth, he was not sure hoooow would express whatever Kanako was trying to communicate. Ah....so much work to not look at that shirt though.

Looking down at Aiko while Kanako spoke. Tento had to agree with it fully. A Hollow could be attracted to energy, and from the feeling Aiko had some. But maybe not enough to be a beacon in drawing Hollows in. Either way, attracting a simple Hollow was no one's fault. That was life in their world. After that, it was just freedom of choice. Kanako walking in the worlds. Tento choosing coming her for deployment. And even the choice of going out to check the energy signature. There were free will and the rolling dice game of cause and effect. Connected perhaps, but not fault filled. "Chance or fate. It happened by itself. Everyone here choice a path today and it somehow lead them to here. A little bit intimidating perhaps and largely unexpected yes. But meeting an interesting Human and Arrancar is not something I would have been against happening in my day", it was strange. Both of them trying to reassure her. So much so Tento could not help but give a soft chuckle with a light smile. Trying very much so to be a gentlemen.

Nod nod nod did the cute Gothic woman went. Good! It seemed that she was calming down now, a relief to Tento as he rather not have someone anxious filled or pass out due to stress. No big deals here, but most certainty a few big things. But, she was breathing...geez she had to do a lot of that. The poor lady. It was working for her though, and well. Tools were made to be used when needed after all.

Things could most certainty be worst. The Arrancar before them could be on a berserk path of combat. Aiko could be on death's door bleeding on the floor (or would that be bad given her ability to control blood from the looks of it?). OR WORSE YET. There...could...be...no...RAIN. Oh the Soul King was smiling down on Tento in his benevolent mercy today; a happy sight for a happy man who was trying to just do his duty. At least initially when he came running over here as fast as he could. Blessed by the sight by the two maidens before him; calm and wearing a little bit of wet clothing. Although it would not be a good idea to have them out here long. How long had they been out here? They could get sick after all.

It was a good thing she was on guard. Being out in the woods with Hollows showing up. You had to. In truth though, it was not like he was trying to hide what was going on with him. Suuuuuure. Control and limit. But hide? Naaaaaaaah. And so he was not entirely surprised when Aiko noted Tento's a bit ah....focused looking at Kanako's beauty. Tall and strong, her energy made sure of that sense being known. But the other side of his looks were there as well. He was most certainty checking Kanako out, and Aiko as well. When one is checking all out....is one really checking anyone out??

After she knelt and drunk from her bottle of water. Tento gave her a puzzled and inquisitive look, his head tilting to the side as he crossed his arms. Why would she get in trouble with the Gotei? Was there some sort of mystery afoot that he did not know about? Well....blood wielding human was a...unnerving thing. Ah...must still be his humanity talking. Too new of a soul, ah, soul reaping, to take this as a more normal aspect of the human super natural abilities. He always found these things wicked and sometimes, cornering when he was alive. Having none such abilities when he was alive besides maybe being a little more durable, stronger, and faster than the average human. Well, beyond the normal difference one would think from physical training he guessed.

Eventually Kanako stood, going back to her full height causing some of the water to shake and drip from her wild wet black hair with blue highlights. Eyebrow rose at Tento's words. Was it really so strange for him to thank her? It was a form casual respect after all in his eyes, giving credit. He had no real idea about the specifics. But he saw things from the distance at least, she had removed the dog Hollow from the area, a fact that did make things easier without combat having to take place.

And then. "Huh?", he sounded as she gave her nervous laugh and rubbed the back of her head. With a nervous laugh, Aiko rubbed the back of her head before looking at Tento again and mustering up a tiny bit of courage that could heard in her voice, she asked him a question. An oh no question. "Uhm, sir, why do you...keep looking at her? Is it because she is an amazon?" Huuuuh. Was how Tento wanted to bladder out but that was all mental. Combined with a few soft whispers to his soul by his Zanptauko. A low level of amusement and words of time and place going to him.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy....

Siiiigh. She shrugged, having it as nothing. No big deal. Glances. The situation. The wet clothes clinging and accenign form. Nope. Not at all, all good. "More of the fact that she is an Amazon Arrancar", Tento said in a soft calm-ish tone. Trying to be, him. Well, the part of him that was not problematic in this type of situation. "I have seen some tall and extremely powerful Hollows but this honesty takes the cake". He would only say that. It was not lying, hiding details and facts of something. He would show some sort of honesty though. "And yes. I can't really not. Look at such a strong person before me who is an opposition to who I am naturally. Cycle and order and all", Tento said with a shrug of his own shoulders and a wave of the wrist.

Nice nice. Good job. Travesty avoided.

Ahhhh. The soft song of rationality to his rescue. The words dressed as a vail coming from Kanako's voice. The unknown future of her presence being a suitable distraction to Tento's own divided mind. Focused on one's physical presence and focused on ones physical presence.

Thankfully it wasn't like Tento was completely out of the mindset of fulfilly duty and serving. He was trying to be cautious of this powerful arrancar after all. Such a situation would fall j to place within a further question. A soft cough coming from Aiko. "...good question", he said in response to her question. Even with the more supernatura presence and abilities of the world now known more. Hollows were still a terrifying thing in existence to the living. An Arreanacar, was even more of a case. The energy present chilling and choking a human with ease if attempted moat likely. Suffocating. That source of fear, was something to absolutely avoid.

"No. Her going there would be a terrible idea as I assume you know. Hut yea? I suppose observation for a little bit. I know that's lame", he said with a shrug. "But kinda what the situation needs me to do at a minimum. Even if it isn'tlikely she'll eat people due to a survival need. Gotta have some type attempt of crowd control".

A Shinigami, an Arrancar, and a Human walk into.a.forrst...heh sounds like the start of a set up of one of Tento's bad jokes. Oh what would the punchline be? "A body of water hmmm? Well. I could let you just go and find one. Or try and help you find one", was what Tento said simply..but in all honesty he would have tagged along either way. Had to keep his eye on Kanako. Maybe get stealth practice as well!
