Goths n' Ghouls [Aiko/Open]

As Aiko voiced her wondering thoughts once again, the curiosity lady being a movement of events and conversations it seemed to be the charging factor to thankfully push forward the conversations and movements of the mixed matched trio. Thinking about it Tento had to put a hand to his chin and look Kanako over again, closer. He did think she look like a sea based being. Scale and all there. The sharp teeth and eyes helped as well. But really, what was she? A shark? A reptile? Perhaps a simple type of fish Hollow but with those other features she felt like a bit different to him. Really it was a slight wonder but made it understandable why Kanako wanted some water; it was more of her pace. Quite observant of-

BLUSHING SHY CUTE GOTH!!

Tento's head flicked at hearing Aiko's cough and the visible change. Sooooo cuuuuute. Was what he thought in his head. No no no. Tento quickly thought as he saw Aiko looking away, a blush coming to her skin. As attractive that had may looked in the moment to him, he had to show some respect to the lass feelings and state. She was looking like she was embarrassed, and perhaps feeling a bit silly, awkward.

At this point, a sound came that made Tento's ear pique up. A pleasantry that made him big a soft smirk. The giant Kaiju seemed to be amused, letting out blink in surprise before laughing. A big one that showed her sharp teeth to the world that shinned within the light and dropping rain. Gradually going down into silence before her hand reached out. Tento eyed the hand, relaxed but a bit ready if you will. He had no inclination to think something hostile would happen and would have to see how Aiko responded to it all. Either way, if it was stopped it would be so and if not there would be the cute site of a tall woman ruffling the smaller Goth's head. A careful touch that felt, peaceful to watch. Balanced. It was interesting, this interaction between a Shinigami, Human, and Arrancar. And surprising. "I see we have a gentle giant here".

Tento then turned to where Aiko was pointing, north. The storm beginning its end cycle, the rain shifting from a heavy downpour to a gentle brush to complete stoppage. Nodding his head, at Kanako's words. A quiet place he could understand. Tranquility and a place to relax or focus. He was not much of a swimmer lover though so he did not have a whole, one with the water thing that she had.


He spoke after Kanako did, adding his bit of two cents before allowing the guide to lead. "Oh thank you Miss Aiko. That is a good idea and I thank you for it if you do not mind", Tento said in a formal casual respect. If he let her lead the way and do her thing, hopefully it would do some good to her confidence and mood. Hmmmm, what questions should he ask either of them? The both of them? Well, he had a small window to think of this as this walk began.

OH! Perhaps a silly simple question of his own once the walk began? "Aiko, Kanako. What was the first time you felt that you loved walking in the woods, or being in the water".

Tento nodded his head. Taking Kanako's words as that. Simple statement and answer, but taking internally that she knew she was trying and fierce. But she had control, and thus everything would depend on how things happened to her and her mood. Disciple was something to respect , one he foundself needing more somethings depending...who was around him.

...was this lady okay? Tento wondered as she let out a long sheepish shy once again before speaking to Kanako in a very clear shy but attempted social interaction. Cute...Kanako The Big Lizard Hollow. Hehehe. He had to hold that one in, these ladies were cool. A little awkward in some points of this whole thing but not bad. Not bad at all. Funny even! But he hoped that was not snowballing into some pessimistic unsocial anx. Perhaps the focus of Aiko leading himself and Kanako through the unknown twisting dark depths of the forest would prove a successful distraction. Sight of the land, the sounds that hopefully would soothed the mind. There was plenty of chances ideally, but, given how their conversation has gone. Well, hiccups would be there to give bumps on the way. Either way it was more time and a chance to see these two, he still need to get more details about this strange situation to report back. An arrancar lurking in this area, and a strange human with the ability to control. He did not know anyone who could care a drastic amount but reports were reports.

"Ah yes, the isolation and noises stillness of nature's flow does help. At least me when I need to slow down. Usually it is when something is troubling me or I need to think", Tento said while he walked alongside Aiko and Hanako. A bit of wonder in his mind if such a case was for the both of them.

The sounds of nature rang as they walked. Splashes of still water, thumps and squashes of the soft soil under their step, the brushing of leaves and branches against motion. It was a bit peaceful honesty. When Aiko's question was given, his eye came to the side to look at how Kanao would respond. Playing the patient waiting type in the conversation. "Hmmm. Loving and hateful. Seems I love it and yet it hates me. Its calming and enjoyable but I am not the outdoor type that can just be in the woods whenever he wishes. I need a good reason to. I do enjoy the silence and soft noises that come though when I do do it".

Hmmmm. It seemed Kanako was really dissatisfied with Hueco Mundo. The dullness, harshness. Perhaps even the emptiness that had been around her for all over her existence. Such a place had little water too from what he would imagine, with her being a lizard Hollow, that was less of a synergy in comfort? "Hmmm. Well a pleasant thing is easier to be around when it is calm Ms. Kanako", Tento said in a laid back carefree voice.

As they moved Tento kept his eyes carefully on the two companions with him on this day. A bit of an interesting point, he found himself turned thinking about about what Kanako said as well. Such the lifeless realm of Huceo Mundo was not for the mortal realm. It felt weird but ultimately, true though. The living realm was the flame drawing in the fireflies that were hollows. Hollows that were beyond the regular hollow; an individuality and personality created beyond the chains of death and the every winding path of hunger for souls. Empty. Filled with the smell of death and sin, no real place for forming bodies that were creating their own sense of humanity once again. He had to nod his head at Aiko's words.

"Yep. Very true there Aiko. Earth has so much diversity in the land. The sounds and cultures. I would imagine such a difference is there in parts of Hueco Mundo. But there is a harshness there. Still life, constant struggle. And other issues I could only guess on. Such a place can only be changed from within", Tento said before scratching his left cheek with his index finger. "But a thing like that would be extremely hard", Tento said shifting his eyes closer to Kanako. "Such a person would need to be a warrior and leader even out of the realm of an Arrancar. Even then, bringing life and something more into their world would need a miracle like event to successfully create such a change". Possible he supposed, but how probable? Not silly...ah. A bit insane, maybe. But, he would keep that to himself. Eh, what did he know anyway?

Tento then turned his head towards Aiko, his right foot taking a light splash in a puddle of water that gave a soft rush to the air. Nature was a complex thing, gentle and rough. It wasn't ideal all the time but still held its level of soothing grace. "Hmmmm. Maybe it is just me then. Somethings I can come to anytime, such as sitting out in the rain with the wind blowing. Being in the forest though, not an often then although it can be pleasant", he said in response to Aiko and Kanko. "A break is a break and is always loved though", he said with a light laugh agreeing with Aiko. Things, life, were most certainty exhausting. And a mental health moment to recharge oneself was always something someone should be mindful to take.

Following her finger he quickly closed his mouth. Shutting with a sharp huff at the realization that nature was coming out. The animals coming out from their nest, birds moving with soft chirps. Yea...that was defintly his type of calmness. He would not mind doing some meditation or writing here anyway day if it could be like this. "Well for one, I don't always have two pleasant people to talk to. Couple hours here can get lonely", Tento said enjoying the soft breeze flow against his skin.

CRACK. And an eyebrow raised, Tento had a quick side glance at the swish swish of Kanako's tail and the resulting rock being destroyed as they went. He then moved finding a nice big rock to hop onto. He let one leg hang off lazily, barely off of the ground while the other went up to his chest, hand resting at the knee. It was dry, a surprise given its position so close to the lake and the rain that had fallen. "Sometimes it is good to find reasons to enjoy the simple pleasure of life and the whispers of nature. It can make those moments more meaningful and hold a personal value greater than before", Tento offered as a counter point. Raising a hand he gestured. "I am a confusing man. As well as a silly man. But, I would like to think that due to your reasons; in comparision to us. You, appreciate the quiet and enjoy of relaxing in a lake more than we can. No?".

He then sat where he was, finding himself to have moved to the rock around the same time Kanako moved to the shore. He shrugged. "Seems you didn't even have to ask".
