Bikuta was able to tell from facial expressions that girl was in fact shocked with the kindness that came from Bikuta. This was common, though when it came down to meeting Vizards who had the capability of being not completely insane from their inner hollow. However, Bikuta was a hollow of a completely different breed in that aspect. His whole life as a hollow he served to protect, being underestimated by his small stature as a young hollow, and even as an adjuchas. However, it was his kindness toward others that led to him finding out about his ability to heal the wounded. It was also his kindness that led to him becoming a part of the Kurikku as well, being the one that healed all of the founders just before they had formed. However, he's not one to let someone take his kindness for granted.

Though the girl was surprised by his acts of humbleness, giving her a warm welcome into the team, she still took them with kindness. She didn't shun him away, though it wasn't often that anyone did. However, he didn't just prance around the halls of Kurikku's Headquarters hugging every random hollow and Vizard, as most of them were ugly. However, this one was rather cute so why not? How else was he going to obtain the goal of walking into a bedroom with hollowfied women laying across his bed, after all? It wasn't going to happen from drop kicking new recruits, that was for sure.

Noticing the slight change of hue to the girl's face when he triangulated onto her pouting, Bikuta smiled and let out a brief chuckle. She then continued on to mention that she wanted to go to the war in Australia, which Bikuta had to cut in right then and there. "That place is a waste, the people that are fighting on those streets have no mannerisms when it comes to fighting..." He then let her continue with her small inquiry toward his own position in the war. He let out a large sigh.

"As I stated, nobody there has manners... I was there, but it was only for a brief moment, honestly. As devoted as I was to keep hold of the city I could stand the outright rudeness of my opponent sitting upon a throne of ice in order to 'set a tone'." He used air quotes with his hands to emphasize setting a tone. "My apologies to everyone within the Kurikku, but to be honest the war has no concern over us. I was simply trying to obtain alliance with that of the Monsuta, so that we could grow just a bit more. Although, we still may have a chance depending on how the young Camilla does in Launceston... However, it seems as though they're being overpowered at this point in time. Our last report indicated that one of our top adjuchas, Jigoku, was in critical condition. It seems as though I'll be having to make efforts toward that sometime soon. If worse comes to worse I'll even have to contact a certain someone to help him stay alive." He finally had finished talking for a second and then began to think about all of the procedures that would have to be done to Jigoku in order to keep him at 100%. Though, difficult, it would be possible with the help he would hopefully receive.

He lifted his hat revealing the small serpent-like mask that sat upon his head and brushed his hair with his hand before placing the cap back to its rightful spot. He cleared his throat and then looked up at the moon for a second, maybe two, then returned his attention to Himeko. "Don't worry about Australia, you'll have time to beat the shit out of something eventually. Hell, if you want we can take a trip to Soul Society and we can find a measly little Shinigami for you to fight..." Though he wasn't exactly sure if she'd accept the offer, as it was most likely that girl wanted to just be a part of something big. However, he could see this small invasion growing to be much larger than what she could imagine.

((If you want, I'm sure I can get some others to join us. However, if you'd like to continue with this just being a social thread for a bit longer that is also fine, we can just hammer out the details.))

(I apologize for my abrupt absence. I had been called away from a unexpected death in the family. I should had notified you of my absence, yet I had forgotten. Yet I am back, and I owe you a post. I do sincerely apologize, once again.)

She thought over the words spoken to her by Bikuta. His words illustrated an Australia that had become a battle ground, a beautiful country suddenly drenched in the blood of both the innocent and the guilty. A country that had become a hot spot for the strong and foolish to boast of the power they held, often times exhibiting a lack of manners in the process. Many souls were doomed to die in a war they hadn't wished for, and for what cause? So that the forces of 'good' or 'evil' could assume control over the lands? Or so that some may become known within the world?

As she thoughts ran rampant throughout her mind, she began to realize something. If she had gone to Australia, she would have been fighting to show the Gotei that the red-haired girl they believed to have died was alive and well, on top of being their enemy. Thus she would had been no different than the others that had decided to participate in the war. Though even with this revelation, she still had a desire to have taken part in something so big. But she guessed she could live without having taken part. Especially since the members of Kurikku had only gone to Australia to secure an alliance with Monsuta.

Oddly enough, Himeko found herself concerned about those who had gone. Jigoku for example, though she didn't know him well, the two were in the same division. And though Camilla was fine and could take care of herself, she couldn't help but worry about her safety. She found her concerns to be odd, but she didn't feel like addressing them at the moment. She instead pushed them to the back of her head, where they wouldn't ever be brought up again.

Strange how words could make one think. Even if one were to add their own thoughts to words spoken by somebody else, like she had. She sighed deeply, closing her eyes for a brief moment as Bikuta last words sunk into her brain. A silence was soon established between the two; Himeko forming a reply within her mind. She was going to pick her words carefully, but before she could finish, Bikuta began to speak again.

She grinned as Bikuta stated she would have plenty of time to beat the crap out of something. And he was right. The possibilities of Himeko not being able to beat someone into a bloody pulp was low. Thus, why did it matter rather or not that person received their beating in Australia or not? It didn't.

Her grin grew larger at the prospect of visiting Soul Society. It had been a while since she had been there, and she wonder how much the place had changed since her departure. Going would mean she would get the opportunity to beat someone into the ground, whilst also alerting those within of her existence as well as Bikuta's. On the other hand, the two were bound to draw lots of attention to themselves, especially since Bikuta was an arrancar. Their presence would be noticed immediately, and she doubt that Captains would ignore them. Soul Society was known for going overboard, or that's how she remembers it.

Despite her wanting to go, she deemed it would not be a good idea. And Himeko rarely went against her better judgement. Thus, she would have to decline Bikuta's offer, and a generous offer it was. She moved her arms behind her back, entwining her fingers as her eyes shifted to the moon. "That's a very kind offer, and a tempting plan," she spoke, "but I'm going have to decline the offer."

Her eyes shifted back the Bikuta, examining his face for a bit before turning back to the moon. "My reason is simple. Though it would be fun to kill something other than a Hollow, I don't wish to draw the attention of the Gotei too much. It also feels like a bad idea since Soul Society is their realm, which means the place will be crawling with Shinigami. And I doubt that they left the place unguarded," Himeko continued, letting out a sigh.

"But I guess that is a good thing," she smiled, eyes snapping to Bikuta and staying there. "It means that Kurikku maintains surprises, and those are always good. Don't you agree?" Her head tilted slightly to the left as the words left her mouth, the smile on her face reached her eyes. "It was nice speaking with you. Your words have enlighten me on the situation, and have cause me to rethink certain aspects of my plan. And I thank you for that. Thus I shall dismiss myself, unless there is something else you wish to talk about."

Depending upon Bikuta's actions, Himeko would walk back into the base or stay to speak with him more. For if he wished to talk some more, she would stay and discuss with him.

(As stated Himeko leaves unless Bikuta wishes to talk more. Otherwise, Exit Thread)

Rejection, something that Bikuta had learned to cope with over his time as a leading role model to others. Sometimes he made decisions and he would be told he was wrong, or he asked questions and they would get shot down. This time, however he could tell that Himeko was genuinely thinking about whether or she'd like to lay waste to the Soul Society or not. She went through several different facial expression loops show the obvious change of her mood as she passed through each possibility of what could happen. Bikuta wasn't mad about it or anything, he was glad to sit and watch as his subordinate took the time to weigh her options instead of going head first into things. As so many new folks did before herself.

It was even the fact that Bikuta did or didn't want to go to Soul Society, I think the main thing that would matter here was that he at least extended his hand. Though, he was rather relieved when she said she didn't want to take on the escapade, he didn't want to have to deal all those nutcases once again. He had never even had the chance to live in the Soul Society, but the few times he did make his way there he felt oddly out of place. Not just because he was a hollow, but because everyone there was just so prepared for such occasions and it shocked Bikuta to see any large scale organization led with such fortitude. It was as if the stepping on the soils of the Soul Society immediately launched alarms to every single captain within the Gotei 13. Most of them would find there way there in a matter of minutes, some hours. Yet, that was just a reflection of personality rather than organization. Though Bikuta disliked the Shinigami and the Gotei 13 with much resent he definitely respected each and every member within their ranks. As they have accomplished many feats and have overcome many obstacles. That was something that Bikuta would hope that someone would one day say about his own.

However, the dreams of the Kurikku didn't lay within the hands of Bikuta. The future of the Kurikku was deep somewhere within the ranks, someone that would carry on their legend after they had been overran and put to an end. Someone that was able to carry the same idea and apply to so many people as they did. Because if the Kurikku ended up not coming out on top, they knew the one thing they had would unity and respect for their comrades, fallen or not. Bikuta believed in those that he fought next to, and that was the whole reason that he would have even thought to take the time to come up and speak with the young girl about anything. Though, he didn't think he would accomplish contentment from the girl so quick, maybe she just liked to reject people. Who knew?

Bikuta looked back over to the girl as she stood ever so gracefully and gazed at the moon. Bikuta looked along with her as well as she began to speak. Though she declined his offer, she was rather polite about it. Which wasn't something that was common with any of the members within his team, so he took kindly to the actions. She continued to speak and continued to share her intelligence of the matters with Bikuta and what she thought the outcomes would be. She was correct, they'd be there too fast. He wouldn't have minded, however, he had grown used to it. She then mentioned that it was a good thing which caused Bikuta to look over at her with his head tilted in slight confusion. He wasn't too sure what she meant by this sentence, but she soon clarified. With which, he grinned and nodded in approval.

Bikuta seemed a bit surprised in this girl, he felt an overall feeling of awe as she spoke to him. Each every word and sentence touching him in a different way. He felt as though he could embody all of her different feelings as she spoke and all of the good and bad of who she was. He wasn't sure what all of this meant or if it was even real or not, but he did in fact grow a deeper respect for the girl. Which, though he respected near everyone, from her outer shell, Bikuta would have never guessed would have happened.

Finally, the girl had began to make her departing words with Bikuta. Which he was once again shocked with. She didn't stay very long and surely didn't give him much time to get to know her. Yet, he was content with their meeting as he hadn't made a decent connection with many of his members in sometime. That was one thing that had become something of the past for him, getting to know his ranks. Yet, he had become so busy the past few years that he had let such tasks slip through his hands. Well, he supposed that all that mattered would be that he fixed that.

"Thank you. I'm glad my words were able to enlighten you. I would also like to thank you for reminding me how good it feels to meet those that live here. I've been so caught up with other events I've let such things fall into the cracks. Yet, you've helped me remember what I had once forgotten. So I thank you for that. Yes, you may dismiss yourself, I will remain out here so that I can continue to think about a few things. See you around."

He spoke humbly, but as he finished his words he would display a grin that crossed wide on his face, pearly whites showing and all. He'd then go on to gesture a wave just before she turned away to go off. Yes, he was in fact very glad that he had this little run in with the girl. It'd lead to Bikuta co-leading a stronger community...
