After Flash introduced himself, Hanbei couldnt help but think the name was somehow fitting, it was

fast, much like the mans entrance. Most names he had gotten out of the Hollows he had beaten to a
pulp had gargled out something guttural, or so exotic Hanbei couldnt help but think they spoke an alien
language. That was a universal problem amongst spiritual beings, those who had not adapted to one of
the common languages were stuck being incomprehensible.

He picked up on the pack of Hollows, approximately six, before the Arrancar before Flash did. Although
not by much, it was enough for Hanbei to stand to his feet again while Flash stopped himself short. They
could talk when the Arrancar guide decided it would be appropriate, most likely on the move.

Flash took the lead before he could say anything, telling him to follow as he ascended and took off away
from the pack. Hanbei did as told, trailing behind while falling behind a bit, not because of the difficulty
of the obstacles, he maneuvered those just fine, but because the Arrancars fast name held true. As they
both sped onwards, Hanbei called out, loud enough for the trail leader to hear, and quiet enough so that
anything on the forests floor would be unaware of the two above. Besides, it wasnt like he had anything
specific to say anyways.

Considering that Flashs back was turned to him, he felt safe enough sheathing his blade for the mean
time.

Yeah, a cave. Ive got nothing but simple descriptions of locations since I first got here. You said caves
though, right? That doesnt bode well for me. Are there a lot? Id assume more than just one, but if
were talking dozens or more

The numbers had never been in his favor though.

The branches that passed beneath his feet were sturdier than they look, every step finding a solid
footing to leap from despite their fragile appearance. Up here they were even higher than atop the
enormous Hollow he had hitchhiked on. This might have been the highest altitude he had ever reached,
and was thankful for a lack of vertigo.

-We should have tested this strangers intentions by fighting that pack. We were better off on the
ground.-

Can zanpakuto spirits be afraid of heights?

-Will this folly ever end? Oh right, its supposed to end with us dead. I love the feeling of making no
progress, dont you?-

Sabi Shokan was still in her typical Hueco Mundo mood, which consisted of scolding, sass, and general
drudgery. Not once, beyond fighting, had she ever expressed satisfaction in being here or with what he
was doing. This was the first extended span of time they had ever spent disconnected, their usual
agreeable wavelength long forgotten. This was much worse than the first few days back after their
rescue from Las Noches.

He couldnt help but feel like if Flash really could help him find the cave, his time stuck wandering Hueco
Mundo might actually come to a close. The last Arrancar he had encountered had told him to find a cave
in the Forest of Menos, so here he was. Yuki had spoken fairly openly considering his previous
experience with Arrancars.
But could he trust her words?

Could he trust any Arrancars words?

So again, I have to ask: why help me?
