Checking the Eighth [Rei/Hana]

Despite he looks the woman wasn't exactly young. She was in hee 100s. Been dead a long time, but despite that she would turn with a warm smile holding up her hand in a small greating. She hadn't seen this woman around before, so they were either knew or from a different squad. Judging off her gut it seems like she's probably just from a different squad.

"Hiya, you new to the 8th or are ya from a different squad?"

Rei didn't pay a whole lot of attention to other squads. She knew her friends ranks if they had one, but outside of that she wasn't super interested in following them all. She much more enjoyed to keep in the know about her own squad, but there was no reason that Rei an unseated member would be told about new members.

Rei coming out of her Normal weight and cardio training would look at the woman as she would think about it. Perhaps today would be a good day for a spar? She wasn't sure if the woman would take her up on the offer, but she would toss the offer out anyway.

"Well, I was going to hunt down a sparring partner. Feels like it's been awhile since I've had a match."

She's answer honestly. She was curious if the woman would take her up on the offer, or if she was going to have to go ask Noharu. The only problem with that is the fact that alot of spars with Noharu end up with a lot of pain.

"If you want to, you could be my sparring partner?"

She'd extend the offer to show that at the current point she doesn't have anyone to spar witb..So she would ask for the woman to take that blace so she could work on some of her stances and quick decision making..Mainly.

Rei would think about what would be the best training for the day. Maybe it was time to return to working on her shikai. She was still trying to master it, and she hadn't been able to have as many spars as she would like to with it. However, if this woman didn't have her shikai then Rei would definitely not use hers. If she did then the benefit to the other shinigami wouldn't really be there.

"Well I was thinking maybe a match with our zanpakto. Limited of course. We could use our shikais, or we can fight just like this. I really don't mind, I just want some practice either way."

Rei didn't mind either way. She wanted more practice fighting other people who used swords. Especially after fighting that masked freak in the world of the living who kept trying to kill her squad mates. She would make sure the next time their blades cross it would be the last time.

Rei would let her hand fall on the woman's head as she would nod her head. She didn't mind when others didn't have their shikai, and in fact it may have even been strange on reis side to assume that she would have a shikai.

"It's perfectly fine. It was my bad for assuming that everyone would have one. I......just recently got mine recently and I think I was just excited. s...sorry about that."

She would speak as she would watch the girl. Before leading her to the training area as Rei would begin to stretch. She tried to make sure to do so before fighting at all.

Rei would smile as she would also ready herself. She would take her stance as she wondered how the other woman wanted to fight. She would quickly grab a wooden practice sword as she would take a deep breath. The stretching helped her loosen up her body enough so that she didn't feel stiff for this. She wanted to have a good match, and it wouldn't include her hurting something because she neglected basic things you should do before exercise.

"Alright, we're gonna start out basic and slowly increase the intensity. Is that okay with you?"

Rei would ask as she wanted to make sure she didn't overwhelm the other woman. She'd hate to make this a 1 time only sparing match. She had done that a couple of times by going to hard on people who weren't really ready for it. Especially when she was fresh out of the academy. Once the woman would answer Rei would begin the spar. Moving forward 2 steps taking a simple 2 handed overhead swing directly towards the blade of her partner. She would take it easy for now and build up more as they continued the match.
