Was It Actually a Mistake? [Kaminari/Igen]

Ko couldn't help but put on something of a sly smirk as she noted Kaminari's response. "Hmmm, a timid and quiet little Zanpaku'to. And with a wielder that rarely spares her a thought. I certainly think that perhaps she might enjoy a bit more consideration." She pointed out, taking a sip of her drink before polishing off the rest of her food. Igen drummed his fingers thoughtfully and .... well, he had to admit he did agree a bit with Ko. He'd certainyl heard of some very diverse Zanpaku'to. But well, such a shy one? Would it want attention? Maybe it enjoyed being in the shadows. Or maybe Ko was right and it was just shy because it wasn't spoken to? It was hard to tell with Zanoku'to. Did how they were regarded effect how they came out? Or was it just an expression of one's inner self?

He glanced at Ko as she wolfed down food. He certainly hoped it wasn't as simple as that. Hm. And Kaminari didn't strike him as someone with an inner shy girl. She seemed pretty calm and frank. "It was a little ... odd. Ko never really spoke to me at all. I guess. Despite my best efforts. But uhhh, then one day when I was in a spar, she spoke up. And I uh... kinda ....ignored her. She went quiet on me like that for a while longer. But then eventually I put in enough effort she spoke to me again. And well.... once I learned her name, she was just...ALWAYS around. So now she's a part of my everyday life. We talk all the time." He admitted. Truth be told, he couldn't really imagine going back. He'd come to enjoy getting to have someone to talk to basically at any time. Even if perhaps Ko didn't always respond. Sometimes she seemed to ignore him. Or was that basically just like talking to yourself? Hm. That sounded like a question for someone smarter than him.

That intone of Gratefulness didn't go unnoticed by Ko as Kaminari offered such a solemn gratuity, a little smile flitting across the woman's features as she set her food to the side and gave a sly grin. "You're welcome. You're a good Egg kid. Just make sure you don't get too caught up in your training and wind up not connecting with your partner." She advised, definitely that note of thanks went to the spirit's head just a little.

But Igen didn't worry too much about that, and instead smiled a little as he made note of Kaminari's renewed will to get to know her zanpaku'to. "Heheh, I certainly hope so. I admit it was a little intimidating learning just how many people don't get along with their Zanpaku'to spirits. We both got lucky ours weren't really mean or something." He chuckled, promptly getting up onto his feet and slowly stretching his arms a little, a soft grunt escaping him as Ko rose up as well.

"We can get going now if you want. There's a few practice courtyards nearby I think. We aren't that far from one of the barracks. I think we're closest to.....fourth Division? Though we'd probably have an audience. Do you want to take a bit more of a trip and get to First Division?" He ventured with a tilt of his head.
