“Isn’t it unusual?” he mused to his two associates as they observed from a distance, “A pack of Hollows working together so seamlessly. It’s almost as if they view each other as comrades,” it was far from a typical Hollow behaviour, not unheard of but hardly commonplace either and that piqued his interest. The masks they wore were particularly interesting.
Aizen continued to observe as they cornered a Menos and tackled it together then shared the kill between them like allies. The more he watched, the more nostalgic the masks appeared –– he had seen that vaguely Pharonic mask somewhere before…
Then it came to him: that was Hirako Shinji. A smile spread over his lips, “My my… how the mighty have fallen,” there was a very amusing possibility here that unfolded in his mind as he watched them devour the Menos. Could he have use of these former Shinigami-turned-Hollow? The undeniable answer was ‘probably’.
“I think I might go and inspect them more closely,” he said before disappearing and reappearing a few feet from where they were gathered, “That was most impressive,” he said, directing his words to the Hollow that he now knew to be Shinji, “Have you lot always worked together like that since you were born?”
◈:: The Shinigami’s presence startled them all and automatically put them on edge; something about that white coat told them to be wary, it meant this was a powerful one, but they had strength in numbers so it’d probably be okay.
He paused, however, when the brunette began to talk. It was unusual for a Shinigami to speak first and swing their sword later, “... Why’re you askin’? He shot back in voice that was thick with distortion and rough like a beasts, “Ain’t seen a Shinigami ‘round here that likes talkin’ to our ilk...”
It didn’t make any sense for this lone figure to take an interest if he was intending to chop them to bits but he wouldn’t drop his guard just because the approach was unusual, “... ‘Sides, ain’t like I can really answer that –– don’t have much memory, just woke up with this lot and decided we’d have better luck if we stuck together.”
“... Now it’s yer turn, why’re you talkin’ to a bunch’a Hollows? Hardly seems in keepin’ with what you lot normally do...”
