Elninio continues to stare up at Dotsu then sighs. Did the child have to ask more questions now. Could he not see she that needed medical attention. She frowns in thought at his first spoke question. "We are of the same clan but any blood relations if their are any are far apart now. Like several generations apart. Though I do see her as a sister whether she likes it or not." She then smirks up at him. "I was captured while out on a mission and declared dead. You must not have eavesdropped on that part of our conversation. Or are pretending to not have." She takes a slow deep breath before speaking again. "I escaped a few months or so ago and made my way here I am trying to get back. Though probably not as a judge. I would be fine with just being a member of fourth." She then carefully considers her next response not quite sure what the best way to explain would be. Maybe not an explanation but a demonstration. She then sighs mentally cursing herself. "We Shinki can turn into weapons. I will show you I guess." She hesitates then pulls her hakama up just enough to look at her seal. "No I think not, not with the seal damaged. Sorry Kanda but would you be willing to show your Vice Captain?" Elninio extends her hand as if to hold Mitsuki's hand at the same time hoping that she was not making a mistake that would affect the whole clan.

Kanda sighs deeply. The cat is out of the bag. Time to see if that cat causes any problems. She looks at the deeply scarred seal. "Those monsters ... use you until you are so broken that we have to reforge you. I'll punish them if I ever find them." She frowns again at the request. "As you wish, my lady. Though you are greatly over simplifying it," she says with a slight bow to the wounded shinigami. "Hakuba, return." The zanpakutou seals itself back up and becomes a katana at her hip once more. She turns to Dotsu and says, "Sir, please hold out your hand. Watashi wa watashi no hontō no namae de watashi no shin no sugata o yōsei shimasu. Ā Hinokami wa watashi no sakebi o kikimasu. Kesato-sama no te ni watashi no mippū sa reta fōmu o okimasu. Tsuki no seigi wa kachimasu! Sekki: Houseki!" With this command she transforms into a black Kusarigama with silver chain. Hopefully he will catch her. "I would have preferred to simply show him my power manifested not be completely in this form," she says with barely concealed agitation. "I am placing a great deal of trust in you, sir, by doing this. I beg that you do not betray me."
The sighs from them both wasn't something he took kindly. Without any words, he let it known in his eyes of his willingness to allow the woman to rot where she laid. The cold glare made it more apparent of the case. However, he humbly received the inside information of who she was, a clan who can turn themselves into weapons. An interesting feat nonetheless. Now having the idea, Dotsu was at slight ease. At first, he didn't quite believe the claim to be true, surely there would have to be some kind of implication on its execution. Until being referred to his 3rd seat to provide a demonstration. Upon request, Dotsu raised an eyebrow while extending his hand, what came out of it truly altered his perspective...
Listening in on the chant, he paid close attention to the transformation of his division seater becoming the kusarigama that landed on his palm. Clenching it tightly, not expecting the weight of its hilt and blade and taken aback by the transition. It was as if being introduced to an entirely new world. The silver chains piled on the ground in between his feet. Dotsu was completely amazed. "I see. So a Shinki can do this. It is... Fascinating." Though somehow, the longer he held it, the more at home it felt. Almost as if it was another personal blade, like his Khonsu. Adjusting his hands finding ease in maneuvering the blade. "You mentioned that you were captured...surely it had to be related to what you all can do." Unsure how to reverse the transformation, Dotsu kneeled to comfortably place Mitsuki down for her to turn back freely without complication. Rising back to face Elninio and stare down to her. Without word or indication, lowering himself to adjust her into his clutches, properly adjusting to minimize any additional pain or stretching any damages she already had to bear. Lifting her while staring at her only to give a head nod then a look away back to Mitsuki. "Kanda. Transition back, we're going to take Elninio to her quarters for treatment." Taking a few steps ahead, the full intention of leaving the forest, he was buried in his thoughts. "I overheard you bore a son...he was stolen and disappeared. My condolences for that. Being supposedly dead and one of the remaining few to exist, are you going to resort to a new life undercover?" He couldn't help but ask, given his last interaction was of something similar, he couldn't help to believe or at the least speculate the connection. Plus he didn't want to make it that awkward for the woman who didn't get the choice to be carried by him.
Elninio looks at Kanda wearily when she mentions that she would need to be reforged as her mind jumps to Ablution before moving on to the Restoration Ceremony. She then glares at Kanda when she asks Kesato to hold out his hand then smirks at herself. Of course Kanda would do this if Elninio was to weak to even stand she was to weak to wield Kanda in her weapon form. "I am not exactly sure why Kanda but this way seems like the wiser option though maybe we should have done it your way." El frowns again hoping that this is not a mistake. Elninio saw Kesato glare at them and was unfazed by it he would just have to deal with it as he was being let into a secret that few outside of the Shinki were allowed to know about. "No at least not at first. They wanted me because I was a noble and a judge they wanted information and to use me as ransom. But they sent the ransom note to the wrong family." Elninio shifts a little before continuing. "It was after they stripped me of my Shinigami powers that they discovered that I was a Shinki. As I unconsciously switched powers when I lost one. One of the men had found some ancient text on our kind though they did not fully understand what we are capable of as I managed to break free. And they did not strip my Shinigami powers completely as they have slowly been returning." Elninio swallows a cry of pain when she is picked up "Thank you for giving her permission to change back the method I would have used would only anger her more." Elninio says as she starts to wonder just what was all done to her normally she was not so talkative. "Thank you I put a mark on him so that I could find him again hopefully. And I do not know it would be up to the head of the clan though the fewer that know about us the better. Why can I not shut up." Elninio drops her head on Kesato as he carries her wishing she could just pass back out. Her nephew was not going to be happy with her. And she had just realized that their was more that she needed to tell Kanda in private.
Kanda writhes for a moment and finally transforms back. Gasping she picks herself back up off the ground. "I am definitely not used to that any more." She stretches and follows after as Elninio rattles off so much information. 'Oh my gosh ... Hinokami help me .. she has verbal diarrhea. Why is she like this? She was not like this before,' she laments, hoping that she doesn't say anything that would make Kesato change his mind. "Sir, thank you for your kindness." Kanda rubs the back of her head as she follows along. Hakuba simply laughs at her as she always does whenever the subject of her nature comes up. 'Look at you, all uptight and it turns out he's actually a fair man.' 'Let me remind you how crazy it is that I have a zanpakutou and am a shinki. You think my situation is funny? Think about yours, Hakuba.' Both have a mental chuckle and a light, rare smile crosses her face as she walks a few steps behind Kesato. As they pass her tengai, she kicks it up into the air and catches it then puts it back on her head. "I think I need to find somebody who can do repairs on this costume. I damaged it a few days ago when I had to chase down a fugitive." Her slender fingers readjust her clothing and she ponders on the implications of this situation. At the moment, she is unaware that she has accidentally bonded herself to Kesato. "Lady El, please get some rest. You must be exhausted and that's why you are talking so much," she says gently. She looks over at Kesato and decides that maybe he has more to him than she thought.
