Arekussu had been at the local record shop when he had felt the presence of the Espada Manda. He had chosen to ignore it, and even had ignored the sound of explosions although the human’s in the shop all ran outside to see what was causing the commotion. Still, Arekussu knew what had happened mostly. He was quite proficient in sensing spiritual pressure after all, and it was not hard to feel the presence of the two hollow and the shinigami.

Still, what interested Arekussu more was the human pressure that emanated from the building. It was odd, mainly because it was actually a decently powerful presence, similar to a low level shinigami. A human like that would have been bait for hollow their entire lives, and would surely have something interesting to tell. Not only that, but Arekussu had grown fond of the human condition over his years of life and he was sure that this particular human would need some sort of protection, and perhaps some reconciliation for the damage caused to their home. Or perhaps Arekussu was just bored and needed something to take his mind off of his memories. He didn’t take the time to dwell on those thoughts, however, and after shedding his gigai in the back ally, he sonidoed to the woman appearing as if from nowhere in front of her.

His hands were in his pockets and his back slouched, all in all he did not look very imposing. He was also significantly shorter than the woman, his slouched stature barely topping 6’2” while she towered over him by about 6 inches. Hopefully this would be enough to stop her from freaking out when she saw him. After looking her up and down for a second, Arekussu pulled one of his hands out of his pocket and held it forwards for a handshake. “Arkeussu, Segunda Espada, nice to meet you.” He then looked around, seeing the partially destroyed house, and said, “Sorry about that. The other Espada are less… considerate than they should be.”
