Sydney flushed at the sight of him shirtless. "Pardon me, but, um, well, I wanted to check on you," she said, feeling extremely awkward in this situation. "You see, I was there when you were so injured after the... hollow incident, and I was worried about how you were recovering--but you look much better," she said quickly, smiling slightly.
"Are you feeling better? Has everything healed?" she went on, in case there was something she wasn't seeing (although she was seeing quite enough, thank you, she told Izy.) "Oh! My name is Sydney Lowe, I'm a trainee from the Mist Division. I should have mentioned that earlier."
I'm NOT staring at his chest!
