Kreios watches silently as Hibiki listens and then begins to go over everything he had said to her only moments prior. After all, other then the crack about knowing the assassin, he had been nothing but entirely truthful to her in everything he had said. If not only a tad bit vague in overall explanation. When she finally finishes considering her options and verbally accepts to their walk together, Kreios smiles and rises once again to his feet in order to clean up the last few things that were on the table and make it mostly tidy once again. He could come back to actually clean the dishes later when he returns, they weren't the most important things at the moment. The World was apparently in danger, after all! His attention fully focusing when she mentioned having to be clear about something, of course he responded before she fully finished her train of thought. "Of course. I would expect to at least a couple more dates before we decide what kind of label we put upon us." He says with a wink, while immediately watching her reaction while she finishes with the true line of questioning he even frowns slightly at the mention of an ambush or dirty trick he could be planning to pull. "Now I understand you wanted an interrogation. So if we have to whip out the chains, truth serum and other kink- Serious tools in order for you to get every answer you need. We should do that before the walk. Otherwise, I'd like to continue this enjoyable evening of ours, without the unnecessary set ups, ambushes and dirty tricks. As much fun as having some quality time with you in an empty holding cell, I don't think we need to jump to all of the fun stuff right off the bat." Kreios says with a grin as he walks back over to the table in order to look directly into her eyes. "If you're going to keep up the bad cop routine though, I may have to figure out a dirty trick to pull after all. Downright sexy, you showing all that authority!" He says finally before winking at her once again and going back up to standing straight as he takes the last couple steps to circle around the table and look down at her. "Now, if you aren't planning on going Full Interrogator Mode.." He starts, while reaching a hand up underneath his medium length blonde hair and drawing something away from his ear. "I've got a gift for you to make the whole travel and secret organization meeting easier." He says with a smile once again, while holding out a single silver earring with an onyx gem at the center, the entire earring appearing like more of a band then anything else, allowing it to be placed anywhere on the ear and still look stylish. "Sadly though, this gift is one of a pair and will return to me if we stray too far apart. I promise to get you a more suitable and long lasting gift, when we have a second date." He says, while holding out the piece of jewelry to her and turning his head slightly to reveal the second earring cuffed around the upper portion of his ear, yet this silver band having two onyx gems instead of a single one. Both bands gave off a similar reaitsu glow as if they had some kind of magic to them, and oddly enough the one on his ear appeared pierced normally, while the one in his hand looked almost as if it was a child's clip on earring, yet when looked at it was definitely more then a toy.

โฆ The womanโs face would slowly lift away from her palm, her head rising up just for her magenta eyes to widen in shock at what heโd say. Her face transformed to a red hue upon hearing the twisted response he give. This one being particularly dirtier than anything he had said to her up until now. She would twitch at the vulgarity of his comments. Chains? Truth serum? Her mind raced at everything he had said so quickly. Where did this guy get off saying such thing? She would still stun by his absolute ability to speak so openly. It would be true her upbringing had sheltered her much from ever being talked to so casually. The surname Shihouin carried great weight in the way people conversed with Hibiki, even among the higher ranks of the Soul Society, people would walk on eggshells in the way they discussed things with her. Surely, she would have expected this by now but, Hibiki had become too used to formalities that his lack of it would break her each time. She would try to advert her eyes as he stared into herโs directly, he head pulling away from him to create more of a distance. Her blush would begin to fade away as she quickly became entranced by something else. She would watch him pull the cuff from his ear and hold it up, her curiosity peaked as he explained it would assist with the meeting. Her eyes carried a bit of skepticism as the corps commander stood up, taking the jewelry piece from his hands, and focusing on it. It appeared like a normal clip-on cuff but, she would quickly note the glowing aura it seemed to produce. Hibiki glanced between the one in her hands and the one he wore, while he talked of the issue of distance. The Shinigami snickering a bit when he brought up getting her a present for the next time. โโฆWell as long as it isnโt a cat collar, I think weโll be fine.โ Hibiki said, her eyes half rolling as she glanced over at all the cat things he had bought earlier on his spree. She would go back to the cuff. She could not sense any malicious magic emitting from it though, that didnโt mean it wasnโt there. It looked like it come down to trust again on this one as well. Hibiki would give a deep sigh as she lifted her other hand, swirling her wrist in a circular motion. It would appear out of what seemed like nowhere, the small black butterfly fluttering out of her palm as it positioned itself to the side of the Shinigami. โReport back to 2nd Division, tell them I have a lead Iโm following up on.โ she would tell this to the hell butterfly without taking her attention of the cuff. The jigokuchou flapping its wings a few times rapidly as if in understanding before flying off and out a nearby window. โNot to alarm you or anything but Iโve got people who like to get on my case when Iโm not back by a certain time. But at the same time, they donโt need to always know what exactly Iโm doing either. Now letโs we move to part two of this โmagicalโ evening.โ Hibiki would say, looking back up at her host. This night had gone array so many times that she would now find herself engaging in his delusions. But that was fine, whatever it took to get the job done could be excused in the end. Her hand would push back the long strands of her hair and slide the cuff into place roughly in the same location as he had placed his.
Kreios watches the red hue quickly form across her cheeks and the clear appearance of a combination of shock and zoned out thinking as her mind had to be racing after what he had said, her eyes quickly averting his gaze would all but confirm his suspicions as she even moved slightly to make more distance between the two of them. "Oh! The cat collar! Well, that's okay, you're not a cat anymore so I wont have to dig that out for you. Maybe next time you're over in cat form I'll gift that to you, though I'll still keep an eye out for something nice for when you're not a cat too." He says with a wink in her direction, as he had motioned towards some of the bags of cat things that hadn't really been emptied out. There was surely a purple bow attached to a cat collar somewhere in there. His gaze watched as she brought forth the hell butterfly from seemingly out of no where, which was a nice change of pace from Kreios himself doing all the fun little magic tricks for her to observe. He waited silently as she gave it the information she planned to send across to her division as he chuckled a little at her explanation as to why she had send the message at all. "I suppose if someone you only partially trusted, told you they were bringing you to a secret meeting of his super secret magical organization. It would make sense that you'd want to make sure someone knew at least roughly where you were going, in case anything happened." He says with a grin, while raising an eyebrow slightly at her use of the term 'magical evening', even if he could tell that it was a tad bit sarcastic. "So when is your curfew? Or do your parents allow a sleep over once and a while, when you're too far away to make it back in time?" He says, as his grin widens to something with a much more foolish expression, while his tone screams nothing other then full on teasing. He rose to his full height and retrieved what remained of the wine in the wine bottle on the table, his golden gaze peering over her for a moment, before he casually rose the bottle in front of himself and poured what remained of the contents right over his left shoulder, red wine splashing and beginning to stain almost immediately. "There, since you preferred to remain in a dirty uniform, we can just say there was a food fight where we came from." He says while turning to place the pretty much empty wine bottle on the counter top. His golden gaze sweeping over the room for a moment before he circles around the table and extends his right hand out to her, accompanied with a partial bow while turning his golden hues back onto her once again. "Now, milady, shall we begin our stroll?" He says, while awaiting her response with his hand remaining out stretched for him to take her hand and lead her out of his apartment at long last.

โฆ It would come to no surprise to her that he did in fact have a cat collar for her. Her eyes joining him in glancing over at the additional bags of various cat paraphernalia. It would send a shiver down the girlโs back at memories of past where strangers would try to wrangle her into one of those neck traps. One of the reasons she was typically so cautious when transforming as not end up as anyoneโs actual pet. The only person who seemed to understand this concept being from one of the other divisions, though it had been a while since she last saw him. She would discard any wandering thoughts of cats or reminiscing, turning back to the matter at hand. โHonestly, I feel like my actual parents would give me more leeway than the 2nd Division does, I obviously canโt speak for your own, but weโre kept on a rather tight leash. Donโt take it too personal, Iโm just following protocol.โ She huff, as much as she truly cherished and was proud of her own division, they were not known as the most fun or free-spirited as the other twelve for a reason. Her eyebrows raised as he reach for the wine bottle again, having no idea how he could still want to drink after consuming the whole bottle and the sake before that. She would be surprised to see him splash the remaining contents over himself just for them to match. It was kind of moving in a strange way. The corners of her mouth would change to slight smile. While the bow might have been too much for her, but she did appreciate his courtesy. Her hand would reach out to take his. โShall we?โ
"Fifth Division isn't much of a stickler to duty. Especially seeing as most of the duty involved is book keeping or learning magic and such." Kreios says, as he takes her hand in his and with a light tug and a casual flourish he would partially pull her against him and also sweep his arm up to wrap gently around her elbow with his before he leads her towards the door. Opening it and pushing it open with his other hand before slipping through the doorway along with Hibiki. "Now let's begin adventure number.. Two.. Strange. That's a lot of messages going around at once. Maybe there's a party?" He says while holding his hand out towards the hell butterfly that was flying towards them both. Upon landing on Kreios' extended finger he frowns slightly and sends it back off and away again. "Not a party for us. Hollows invading Rukongai. They're calling for anyone capable to get over there and help save civilians or hold off the threat. Kill if possible." He sighs openly while turning his attention to cast his golden eyes down upon Hibiki. "I suppose that's going to shorten our walk a little bit then. Academy training grounds are on the way, we can swoop up the trainees we can find to help get civilians out of the unaffected districts before Hollows show up for the attempted slaughter.." He says while watching her closely for how she was going to react to this kind of news. "It's also possible for us to send those reinforcements alone, and meet up with the cavalry aiming to fight back. Or we could just leave in the confusion and say we were already off the realm before the alerts." Kreios says as he slowly rolls his shoulders at the end of his words, and then closes the door behind him before walking with her, albeit a tad more briskly, towards the direction of division five's exit and the training grounds. "Up to you what we do. But we will stop at the Academy either way so that more people can know what's going on." Kreios says with a smile at her, while they quickly exited the division.

โฆ Small, purple-colored sparks would emanate from Hibikiโs body as she was pulled to the 5th seatโs side. While she had been slowly warming up to him this entire time, this action would come off as too close for comfort. The girl not saying anything directly, though it would be noted by the way her eyes narrowed she was displeased. The expression wouldnโt last for long however, the hell butterfly popping out of nowhere and landing on Kreios while another one appeared and did similar to Hibiki. The messaged transmitted to her made the Shinigamiโs eyes widen with shock at the news of the sudden attack. Hollows in the Rukongai? Since when had they been so bold as to show up in a place like that? She would be taken aback by the sheer amount of damage they had done in such a short amount of time. The threat being elevated to class 4 in two locations and still going. Could it have been, no thereโs no wayโฆwas this pre-planned? Hibikiโs hand clutched her Zanpakuto at the thought. The Sanada investigation would have to be put on hold, defending Soul Society came first. She would turn to Kreios to announce this, but it would appear he would already be one step ahead of her. โI agree. The more help we can get the better. Hopefully, everyoneโs heard the announcement by now but just in case we should gather who we can at the academy before meeting up with the others.โ Hibiki would nod, her finger gently flicking the butterfly away as it flew off. โLooks just like our date, your meeting is also going to have to take a detour. I hope your friends donโt mind if youโre a little late.โ She would say with a slight grin. As much as she wanted to continue following her lead, she had taken an oath to server and defend, the same one he had as well. While he might be under investigation, Hibiki expected him to uphold that vow even now. To try to escape now would just add her suspicions. She would walk out of the quarters with him, the training grounds not too far from their current location. Her magenta eyes looking up at him to deliver a final comment before they headed out. โI hope you can fight as well as you can cook.โ
