[u]Fumio Hari Kouineji[/u] Fumio's eyes widened a touch for a second, but then settled into a joyful look. Slowly drawing his Zanpakuto, he spoke as a grin gradually formed on his brightened face. [b]"My, this certainly was unexpected. But I can't say that I'm disappointed~ Maybe you're not just rude after all, heh heh~"[/b] Once fully drawn, Fumio took a second to admire his blade as he'd always do before battle. It was just a little gesture to appreciate his Zanpakuto and it's spirit. He then watched as Chie released her weapon. [b]"Ooooo~ I must say, I was expecting something that looked a lot more dangerous, but I like it, looks quite royal-esque. But don't worry, I won't judge you by how you and your weapon looks, as they say, you can't judge a book by it's cover~"[/b] Smirking, Fumio pushed his back off the wall and moved around Chie to stand across from her, giving himself more room. Readying himself, he bent his knees a little, holding his sealed Zanpakuto in his right hand, with his left hand open and palm facing down. Utter joy smothered his face.
