Very Big Beasts [Kanako, Khaana]

It wasn't hard for Khaana to pick up the spiritual pressure of another arrancar at her pad. Having rented out her place to Amaranta, she still checked up on the place now and then. And so when she ... sensed some other residual spiritual energies she naturally got a bit curious. And here she thought she was going to have to hunt them down and get the info herself. Sure, she COULD talk to Amaranta about it. But she prefered to get involved with things directly.

But well... as it turned out, that wasn't necessary in the slightest. Not when her visit to Amaranta's place had a nice, fresh spirit energy oozing out of it already. Was Amaranta letting some rando Arrancar stay at Khaana's place? She wondered if she should be angry, but more than that she was curious.

She knew Amaranta. So she was curious just what kind of individual they would invite to shack up with her. Making her way to the door, Khaana didn't bother knocking. Swiping her keys over the security pad, the door unlocked for her with a soft click, and she walked in, making a beeline right for this unfamiliar presence.

Her brows raised ever so slightly.
This was a ....large woman. An arrancar. She could tell by the smell alone, though the rather ...large, curvy woman certainly looked like an arrancar as well. Her attention shifted to the sandwich, then back to the woman themselves. Intrigued. She seemed a little docile for someone who would catch Amaranta's interest. But then again, the Lioness didn't really seem like she was too predictable sometimes. She could see Ama whimsically scooping up some hapless arrancar and offering them a place to say.

"So you know Amaranta. Would have liked to know that more than one arrancar would be staying at my place." She murmured lightly, folding her arms and sighing just a little. "So you know that Amaranta does work for me in exchange for staying here. However, I didn't exactly go telling her she could just let all her buddies crash here too." She pointed out, hardly beating around the bush that she was deciding wether or not to allow Kanako to live here as well.

"What's your name?"

...God dammit.
It wasn't even that hard to discern what was standing infront of her. All the potential was there. Unique appearance. Voracious appetite. Casual demeanor contrary to most of her kind. For just a moment, Khaana wondered, could this be her protagonist? But as the woman spoke, that possibility rapidly deteriorated. No, she was .... a bit too tall. There wasn't anything especially bad about the gal. She was nice, but ther wasn't quite that ...factor. And for just a moment, a little sigh escaped her, and she remembered that nice pink haired boy she'd met once back in Italy, and then, briefly, to Amaranta. Wait what? She frowned, shaking her head a little before clearing her throat.

"The name's Khaana." She murmured, reaching up to offer a handshake to the larger woman before folding her arms across her chest. Eyes briefly shifting to Kanako's and feeling the faintest twinge of annoyance at just how busty the woman was. This was a pain in the ass, this girl wasn't just a side character, she might be potential competition, definitely triggering a bit of Khaana's own insecurities.

"You being kicked out depends on how willing you are to have a boss like me. Amaranta doesn't pay me money. I have more money than either of you could scrounge together in twenty years. What she DOES pay her rent with is work. Helping me out when I need it. Training. Back up if I ever need some hollows taken care of. And more or less, anything else I need her to do. In exchange, she gets to live here, and I pay her an allowance. So the question is: What exactly can you offer me in exchange foe letting you live here? Are you strong, like Amaranta? And don't take that as an invitation to take a swing at me, the last thing I need is to have to get this place fixed up." She added at the end. Knowing all too well that some prideful arrancar might take that as an opportunity to go 'Oh yea? let me show you'.

A pause. Khaana raised her brows for a moment before a soft chuckle escaped her throat at the reaction that she garnered from the big woman who seemed to struggle with the question. Well, she certainly was .... interesting? Maybe a little on the not so bright side. But she supposed that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Though she WAS starting to understand why it was that Amaranta had wanted to look after such an individual.

"I more just wanted to know how you measured to Amaranta. If you really wanna be tested, then I'm fine with that. Just not in the damn house" She noted with a dismissive wave, turning her attention toward the far off distant wastes. The outskirts of the area they were in wasn't that far off. By design at that. She wanted a place that wasn't too close or deep in the city. Never hurt to be careful.

"If you wanna stay here that's fine. you won't need to pay me or anything. But I'll just need you to do what I tell you to. Nothing crazy, but it'd essentially be odd jobs. Dealing with hollows. Maybe the occasional group of humans deciding to make pests of themselves. Stuff like that. If you can handle that, then we got no problem. As for testing you, well. If you wanna carry me out to the wilderness that's fine by me." She noted, lightly folding her arms. She herself was still kinda working on her own high speed movement, something she was able to do just not outside of her release. Tch, something she needed to work on. So foe the time being, she'd put it on Kanako to take them out to the wastes if she wanted her test.

A look of surprise showed at the ...manner in which Kanako picked her up. She expected to just get a hand on her shoulder and to be pulled along. Maybe getting set up on the shoulder. Truth be told she didn't really think it through. But suddenly being picked up nad clutched to the woman's shoulder was a little startling and then the air whipped about her. That sudden jarring motion causing her body to tense slightly as she was set down. Her face scrunched up in slight indignity, but well, she wans't gonna complain, she'd kinda asked for it. Besides, was kinda nice being carried around like that.

"If you wanna go worrying about hurting me, then you're already gonna get your ass beat. Amaranta couldn't hurt me in a meaningful way, I doubt you're gonna." She murmured as she took a few steps to move away from the Arrancar before turning to peer at the woman over her shoulder. She seemed strangely....... placid? Not really a fighter. She vaguely wondered if the woman would even show up if she called them to action. Well she'd certainly find out. Cricking her neck, she turned and faced Kanako.

"I'm gonna be your test, obviously. I could use the practice." She lied. Truth of the matter was, she spent quite a lot of time hunting hollows. Doing guartd work for Curry. Even tossing Amaranta around, well...whenever she wasn't the one being tossed around. But Khaana wasn't the frail little thing she looked like, and if this girl was gonna respect her, she was gonna need to learn that. And in that vein, there was a crackle of spiritual energy as Khaana's spiritual pressure bore down on the area, and blackness spilled out from her shadow, swallowing up the ground beneath her before ten spears slowly emerged from the ground as she injected the matyerial with her coding. Consuming the material beneath her to mold the spears themselves. Elegant looking things.

Until their eyes opened, and wings peeled free from their lengths, flaring and looking around until they all peered toward the arrancar herself. Their energy was NOT human. Nor was Khaana's. That spiritual pressure was that of a hollow's twisted and warped into something else. Modified clearly and unmistakeably.

Plucking one of the spears from the ground, Khaana pointed it toward the arrancar.

"Let's see what you've got."
