Ant-Eater Eating Ant (Hannah/Akira)

He twitched, just a little, at the mention. Were Hannah not feeling every inch of his body with her sonar, she would probably have missed it. But it did pique her interest, so she would ditch the teasing and go to see if there was something more than just ol' hat and clogs with his fingers in more pies than most people knew existed.

"It's a nice little shop. Peaceful, doesn't get too many visitors. Perfect place for a woman exiled from the Seireitei to hang her hat now that Kokuyuteshi has collapsed in on itself. Feel free to come by any time"

Sure, she wasn't exiled anymore, and was never actually exiled in the first place, but it was partially true. And she did once work for K-World, after all...

"That they do" Hannah would reply, with a gentle smile. "As for why, it's a long, horrible, and sordid tale. Not one that bares repeating in such a nice place. Sufficed to say, I was not born blind"

She would take a sip of her cup, and play with the rim a little bit. The guy here was good at self control. She had expected to feel his heart thump a little more at the Seireitei. Maybe it was just Kisuke. He had gotten around a lot.

"You are quite the connoisseur of intel, aren't you?" Hannah would ask, blind eyes glimmering with vigor. "While it existing is common knowledge, the hierarchy and position of a Captain is not quite so widely known"

"The Living World has enough problems, and there are not many who have the time or inclination to dig into records that are at times hundreds of years old at this point, to learn about an organization that that will probably never run into in any but the most fleeting of ways. Most focused closer to home, with Shadowfall and Kokuyuteshi and Lux Orior"

Hannah would sip again, and try to puzzle the man out. Jilted lover, maybe? Kisuke certainly had more than one of those. Probably.

"Is it any wonder they have a Messiah complex?" Hannah would ask. "They literally save lives from monsterous creatures every single day. They are risking maiming, mental and physical disability, and death, every single day. And that's before you have to deal with Kokuyuteshi, Shadowfall, or whatever is coming out of that hole in Africa.

People are diverse and amazingly complex, which means that anyone who is in a situation where you regularly are the reason another is alive, will have some small amount of feelings towards it. And that will grow based on the person. People take pride in making a good cup of tea, or wittling cute ice statues. So the pride one feels when you can look out to those who are still alive, and know it is because of you...

Well, it's not megalomania when it's true. It's not paranoia when they are out to get you. It's not a saviour complex, when you are literally a saviour"

There was an opening. Hehe, time to mess with him a little more, see how much he disliked Urahara.

"If you wish to interview some, I can take you there right now. If I am quick, and subtle about it, they won't even know I am there. This I can guarantee, because they haven't noticed me the last few times. It is an oppitunity you should not miss"

Hannah would slid her chair back a little, as if preparing to stand up and take him to the Seireitei.

"You shouldn't let your schedule make you miss a chance like this. It might never come again"
