"Oh, so you're like me..." he said out loud. He gasped and covered his mouth, "Sorry, I didn't mean for it to come out like that, or at all really." he apologized. What an idiot! How could he say something so stupidly obvious to someone he just met?! When she mentioned she could help him navigate to where he was going, the thought had finally clicked in his mind, why hadn't he asked beforehand? Useless wasn't the right word for him anymore, hopeless was. "Um, yeah, that'd be great. I'm trying to get to Squad 5, but as you guessed, I wound up getting lost in here. Talk about pathetic, huh?" he chuckled trying to deflect attention away from his many and multiple flaws. "So I saw earlier that you have a Shikai? Must be nice..." he said, slightly envious as he glanced at the two weapons attached to his sides. [i]Really wish I had a Shikai for even one of these useless Zanpakuto's.[/i] he thought.
