Holding out for Winter [Hisana, Erika]

It didn't take long to find the former Commander. Some part of her wondered if there was someone else she might approach in regards to this. But no... what she wanted as Murasaki's opinion. And as it were, the person who would know that the best, was the Former Acting Captain Commander. She'd already been collecting information, keeping her head down. But now she needed to take action as well. And something else was on the edge of her mind. The world of the living.

Turning the corner, she looked around and paused when she spotted the woman she was looking for. Promptly increasing her pace to catch up, she spoke up so that Erika would be made aware of her presence before she reached her. "Miss Masamune. If I could please have a moment of your time." She called out.

Hisana nodded softly as the woman came to a stop, or well, at the very least allowed her to keep pace as she went. "I wished to ask you something. With the recent developments, a tremendous number of Field Agents from the Seventh and Fifth Divisions, as well as a few scattered other operatives from other divisions still remain largely unaware of the situation on earth. They're stranded, and holding out for contact and assistance. As such, I've taken it upon myself to collect records of deployed operatives from the Seventh Records and First Division. I still plan on reaching out to the Onmitsukido to offer if they wish their operatives to be informed as well." She explained calmly. After all, as one of the few individuals capable of traveling between the realms, she had an obligation to utilize that.

"However... as for what I wanted from you. I ..... have also been thinking about the world of the living. Many places have relied on Gotei assistance, many people on earth feel safe, even relative, knowing that shinigami will show up if anything of concern where to happen. It wont' be long before those that are normally kept in check by Soul Reapers will realize that they no longer can. I think... it qould be prudent to inform the world of the living of what's transpired as well. They cannot afford to wait for our assistance, they need to know they'll have to fend for themselves in the meantime." She paused for a moment, before furrowing her brows.

"But I'm... not sure. It would help some, but potentially speed up the escalation of those malignant groups. I was... hoping. You might know what Murasaki would have done."

Hisana paused for a moment at that and blinked, her brows raising in surprise as she stared at Erika for a moment. Ah.... well she supposed that made sense. It wasn't as if the woman probably knew much at all about her situation, and from the outside, indeed. Erika would have that kind of perception now wouldn't she?

"I never was. When I was offered sanctuary by Commander Murasaki, there were no conditions associated with it. My tenure as a professor at the Academy was entirely voluntary, and my transition from a professor to a member of the Seventh Division similarly was of my own choosing, and simply authorized by Murasaki. I'm well aware that a number of soul reeapers were bound by the structures that stood around them. The only thing I've ever been bound by was my gratitude to Lady Murasaki, and that is still very much in place." she stated calmly and without hesitation.

Of course, she gave a rueful little smile in regards to her being an arrancar. "True. I suppose a number of powers that be probably would like me dead, or enslaved for the purposes of transit to the Human World. But for the time being, I'm confident that I can handle myself, at least for now. I'm very good at staying safe." She stated calmly, though at that last question she tilted her head. She had been about to say something, but the tone was... different. She didn't seem concerned, she seemed confused and so Hisana turned to look at the woman fully.

"Is ... there somewhere else I should be?"

Hisana furrowed her brows for a moment as Erika passively seemed to dismiss whatever it was that had apparently been put on Yuuto's shoulders. She didn't know the man very well, she only knew that he was once a Shino academy teacher for the most part before he went and joined the Gotei as a Captain. "If there is some task that was supposed to take place, I would like to know what it was, especially if I'm to expect Hisakawa to approach me at some point about it." she noted with a slightly furrowed brow. For whatever reason, the man hadn't shown up, and she couldn't help but feel a tinge of concern if perhaps something had happened to the man. Or if he had something else come up.

Surely a man in his position would only hold off if something else important had come up. If there was a task that needed doing in the world of the living, she very much wanted to know about it.

Hisana watched the woman for several long moments. She ultimately had no idea what was going on in the woman's mind. So it was Lord Kuchiki's problem at this point. She was quiet for several long moments as she furrowed her brows. There were a number of emotions and concerns that came up in her mind. But as it were, she also very firmly remembered the conversation she had had with the man. Several, in fact.

The man that had once married her, was no longer there. For any intention or good will that might exist in the man's heart, that wasn't what he was. For all intents and purposes, he was simply a vessel for the interests of his family. And now, apparently, Central 46. She was, ultimately, entirely unaware of the soul society's history. She had learned some of it during her time in the academy, but even still, the manner in which the Central 46 had once been regarded as even in common chatter. She wondered if perhaps Erika had a point in her earlier concerns.

But even so... she hesitated. She did not want to leave these people stranded while the Senkaimon was destroyed. But who would she seek out? Even her temporary living space was gone. And these days, Rukia seemed more and more stressed.

That stress was only to mount. And she wondered if her presence was truly a positive one in her life.

"I see. In that case, I shall ...have to see what happens from here. But as for your concern, I appreciate it. And I'll.. have to take it into consideration." She noted quietly, a very gentle smile forming on her features as she sighed. "If we don't see one another again. I wish you well, Masamune." She then turned and promptly vanished in a burst of black smoke, her spiritual pressure vanishing entirely as she slipped into the garganta in an instant.

She had considered another stop before she headed to earth, but at this point, she supposed that might no longer be wise.
