-----<br/>Corin Kirikata<br/>7:20 area<br/>-----<br/><br/>Corin's arms were tucked against his sides, standing at his full height and looking every bit the soldier he was made out to be in the morning light. Wind broke against his Captain's robes, the tip of the long white cloth brushing against the long blades of grass as he padded up the hill towards where he knew the 7th Captain could be found at this hour. When her eye's located him nearing the top of the hill her complete lack of surprise informed the Captain that she must have been extending out her senses across the many hidden places within the city, possibly trying to locate the this disappearing Hollow.<br/><br/>At first it looked as though the Captain was unsure how to respond to her question. Would it become a habit of his to meet Uako in the morning on the hilltop. He had never considered a greater purpose to being away this early in the morning other than to patrol and make safe the streets of Soul Society, as was his Captain's duty. "Perhaps one day" he added, using the rather vague statement as a means to full dismiss the potential for general conversation. "I have brought a envelope from the 12th Division, I understand you have a... passion for scientific endeavors. Perhaps you could help explain it to me, and provide some input". Like a sentinel Corin stood silently near the much shorter woman, listening intently to her explanation of what had happened to these men. How whatever infected these civilian people was fueled on by a parasite, or something like that it seemed. Admittedly portions were completely lost on the proclaimed 'fighting' Captain, but he got the gist once everything was over.<br/><br/>What was almost equally as interesting was how excited Captain Uako seemed to be at the very thought of such a parasite, whatever it might be. She held back in the last instant, clearly on the verge of some sort of breakthrough so that she could ask whether he had come to the same conclusion. His brow wrinkled, scrunching into an expression of deep frustration as Corin battled in his mind to try and catch up to the same place the obviously far more intelligent Captain was in. "The.... the Gate Guardians" he asked? They were not Lieutenants, nor Captains however they each possessed a reiatsu that was greater than the average students. An argument could be made that in the rankings of power, they were third in line just beneath the Lieutenants.<br/><br/>"So, simply don't get hit while fighting whatever this is" less the poisonous effect take hold and destroy the more powerful Shinigami's from the inside out. Relaxing his expression, blue eyes meeting Uako's gaze Corin managed a quick nod followed by a genuinely confident "seems easy enough to remember".
