Manga Dangai (Akira/Alvah)

A library? He had asked around for a place to gather information and was told of this spot. It is apparently a building full of books. Imagine. Of course he had to make his way here immediately. He is particularly interested in a certain topic that he was assured he'd find here.

Whatever mechanism that announced a person's entrance soon warned any inhabitants as the large Arrancar stepped into the building, sporting his usual kimono. It is like he had stepped into a candy store, books from the front to the back lined up just for his eyes to partake. He could not help himself but walk around, reading each title he happened upon, distracted from his original goal as the place he thought a legend proved a reality.

Footsteps? People told of an ashen haired individual who owns this establishment. It seems he is due to meet this man.

Leaving his thoughts wayward, he turned his body as he felt the man near him. Immediate thought process left Alvah unamused. The man did not come in anything extravagant, seeming too put together and perfect. He had heard of humans being messy, and all have supported the claim besides this individual. That fact made Alvah ponder if what's presenting is really all there is.

"A book of human anatomy," He'd request however, making his quest known.

Alvah seeks knowledge, and has a very nuanced need to have his questions answered before proceeding with the simple pleasures of life like conversation.

He raised a brow, following as he was led. The look the man shared made it seem unusual for someone to ask him about such a topic, but Alvah could not fathom why. It is true that an Arrancar would have some knowledge of humans due to taking their form after breaking their mask, but that knowledge would only be the same as an average person's, no? Even then, Alvah cannot truly recall what it means to be human, even as an Arrancar. His instincts on the matter feel muddied.

"I only require a book of the basics. I wish to learn the body parts of a person. I could care less how stimuli affects them for right now. Do you also have a book about human sexual reproduction as well?"

His eyes did scan what was brought out for him though. A library is interesting indeed. He could stay here for weeks, months even, reading. However, he has also learned that experience is somewhat more valuable than simple literature, so he knows he would grow bored eventually.

"No. My curiosity is all for the sake of curiosity. A passing couple were sharing a moment of intimacy. It is different from the usual happenings of Hueco Mundo. That is all."

He does not see a need to divulge why it is different. A man with any intellect could probably tell why a wasteland of nightmarish monsters lacked romance. However, his eyes fell on the books before him as he ran his fingers over the unkempt leather that bound the papers within. It seems he has forced the man to dive deep into his catalogue.

"Experience and knowledge go hand in hand. Maybe I will find an opportunity to explore these topics with another, but I am in no rush. This world is full of mysteries that must be revealed, one way or another."

"I know none. Hueco Mundo is a large realm," He responded, his eyes moving to the old brochure. "It is a realm of endless possibility, where each twist or turn could be your last. The only few that are known are those that want to be known, beings that you are probably already familiar with."

He is being given the opportunity to watch human stimulus and procreation? He would not deny his curiosity. However, he pondered why a man like this would have such a thing. It goes to reveal the depravity that one who seemingly carried themself with class actually held. It is only fair he shares what he feels adequate for the situation.

"Thread carefully, for those of power would not shed a tear ending your life, whether warranted or not. There are whispers of save havens for Hollowkind and kingdoms made of Ice. You most likely already know of Ichigo Kurosaki and the increased traffic between your realm and ours."
