Your Heroes Are Human Too [Henrex, Nanashi]

WOOOH! Nanashi smiled from ear to ear and looked around excitedly as the pair of them made their way through the city! She was practically bouncing as they made their way aroudn the city! Of course she also was within a Gigai for this little trip. The sights! The buildings! It was all so...PRETTY! Even the blemish of destruction at it's center did little to shift Nanashi's awe at the sheer size of it all! There was of course the repentence cell, but there were just so MANY big buildings around!

"How can you stay so calm and stuff in a place like this?! Come on, show a LITTLE excitement!" Nanashi protested, before she SIGHED a little and shook her head. "Stupid classes. I still can't believe I had to cancel my trip back during the tournament..." She murmured with a shake of her head. Sadly, she hadn't QUITE been cleared when her application for a trip down to the city of lights back during the tournament hadn't gone through. That ontop of some classes that were having finals, the paperwork she WOULD have needed had well, proven too much. She had decided to postpone the trip, much to her own chagrin. But if nothing else, at least they were finally here! In ...February.

"I bet it was even cooler when the tournament was going on. What was it like?" She asked, looking over her shoulder at Hen as the pair of them walked down the streets, occassionally stopping or meandering a little to look into a storefront. Certainly the girl's curiosity was boundless. She didn't have any memories of being alive, and so all of this still felt so darn fresh. And that meant she'd almost constantly grab Henrex by the arm and start dragging him about. Deeply enjoying the little trip through the city.

Nanashi smiled just a little as they made their way down the street, pausing for just a moment to look over her shoulders with envy at his recount of the tournament. She really DID wish she could have seen some of it. Tch. But all the same, at least she got to see it recorded. The wonders of the internet. One of the more interesting things she'd picked up from her last trip to the world of the living. "I wish I coulda been there. Still, I guess watching it on my phone'll have to do." She sighed, then stopping in her tracks as she looked beside them. The railing along the street turning into an overpass. And past the railing itself. was a clear shot straight to the ocean. Briefly she was .... stalled by the view. The beach wasn't nearby, but still even with a cliff at it's end. Thee soft shimmer of water off the waves was .... a little captivating.

Certainly there weren't really any Oceans in the Rukongai. And she paused to stare out onto the water. Temporarily releasing Hen's hand to walk up to the railing and smile. The warm glow fo the sunlight framing the both of them as she watched. It wasn't quite there. But it was a little further in the afternoon, and the sun was just beginning to nestle low enough to have the sky break out into orange.

It certainly was something. And beneath the overpass, she could see a number of restraunts chose to set up on this particular lane. Hm. She looked over her shoulder. "Say, you're not hungry are you?"

Nanashi couldn't help but flash a cheeky smile at Hanrex as he put his hand on her shoulder. Certainly glad she'd broken him of that whole headpatting thing. All the same, they both enjoyed the view for a moment and she found herself much more.... relaxed. True, they had both been busy for a while. But she'd still kept poking in to check in on him. Certainly Nanashi had become someone a bit common to see making her way to the Fifth Division barracks. She'd even ahhh... attempted to train with a few of the members there! Which had ACTUALLY paid some dividends! With all the practice she'd gotten in with Rio, now having individuals more suited for stealth, she'd actually been getting a lot better with her own hoho. Something she hoped to surprise Henrex with~ Him and his pesky speed.

But for now she had other focuses!

"Hmmm, I don't know about spicy. I really like something savory. Like a good steak stew when it's cold." She pointed out, smiling fondly as she recalled the little makeshift meals she'd managed to scrounge together during her rukongai days. "Actually, I don't think you HAVE ever gotten to enjoy my food now that I think about it." She ventured and turned to give him a sly look over her shoulder.

"We're gonna be here a few days after all right? It's already kinda late. Sun's gonna be down soon. Why don't we hit a grocery store instead? I wanna be nice and fresh when we check out the city. And uh... I'm admittedly a little....worn out from the Senkaimon." She sighed. with all the people visiting the city of lights, the wait to go through had been a pain in the ass. The Seknaimon was already a real pain in the butt, but now that a LOT of people were making the trip following the tournament, things had been a little slow. AND boring.

"Sooo hhow about we head to the hotel, I'll make us some dinner, and then we'll get up early tomorrow to hit the city!" She declared with a big pleased grin, clearly pleased with her plan of action. Heck' she'd even been the one to go ahead and book the Hotel.

"Awyiss. HAHA! Just you wait. I'm actually a pretty awesome cook I'll have ya know. I'm gonna blow yer damn tastebuds right outta yer mouth." She boasted with a fierce smile! It was a pretty quick trip to the actual nearest grocerie store. The ACTUAL trouble was well, finding what they needed. And Nanashi's gusto did falter a little as the frustration of trying to locate things got a bit to her. But with a little help and a few pointers from employees, the pair would get their groceries easily enough. Naturally Nanashi carried the lion's share of them. All too happy to show off her own physical strength. Heheheh.

"Man stores are weird. Kinda stuffy compared to an outside market. But still, I guess it's nice and warm in there." She murmured, looking around. It certainly was a change from the more .... open atmosphere in soul society. It felt like much fewer people were outside. But well, with how MANY people lived here, it was probably for the best.

"I guess the Hotel will probably be like that too. We should probably check in. Oh, and I got a couple's discount too! If anyone asks, you're my boyfriend. They had a discount, it was like..almost half off!" She promptly smiled, certainly proud of her bargain hunting skills and more or less just glossing over the conditions behind them.

Nanashi made a face. "Nah, this kinda place would be prime pickins for pickpockets. It's real easy in crowds like these." She noted with a casual wave of her hand, dismissive of the notion that cramped spaces would somehow make stealing harder. silly Henrex. All the same, she didn't seem to even react as he flustered about ...something? Was he nervous about her cooking? Heh, the fool didn't even know. his stupid dumb bitch face was gonna be exploded from how good her food was!

"Stirfry! Nothing fancy, and kinda salty. But heyit'll be good, I promise! It's a recipe I came up with myself." She promptly bragged, sticking her chin out as the pair of them slipped into the lobbey and she gave a little smile and wave to the receptionist as she guided the both of them to the desk. "Hello! Suite Fourty Seven Signing in." she promptly announced them. The receptionist giving them a glance, and smiling, as if to say 'aw how cute' as she began to pull up the sheet for them to sign in. Nanashi playing it quite cool as she signed in without even breaking a sweat. Certainly she seemed quite natural at this little act. Though it would certainly remain to be seen how henrex handled the guise.

"We're happy to have you here at the Pilaz Hotel. We're also offering some deals on room service for the holidays. And if there's anything we can do to help your stay more comfortable, don't hesitate to call the front desk ," The receptionist noted with a calm smile, setting the pamphlet on the counter outlining room services.
