Giovanni had to take the time to catch his breath. the lingering Spiritual pressure was still daunting to him. he hadn't even noticed a Third guest slip into the room untill the shinigami spoke about joining the squad. the overwhelming spiritual pressure had masked the new ones to the point where Gio would have never noticed. It was becoming obvious that the Head Captain assumed they all wanted to join the squad, since two out of three were expressing interest already. If Gio could manage to get a word out to clarify that he only wished to peak with the head captain and nothing more than perhaps he wouldnt get dragged into the shit storm he knew was coming. He managed to stand up but words werent forming in his abnormally dry throat.
Souta released a slow breath as the captain eased up on the spiritual pressure he was exerting, taking a few brief moments to regain his composure. Purely as a 'just in case', he continued to pour out his own spiritual pressure, focused in its usual intense manner around him, like a shell of protective energy. Not massive... but intense, in it's small space. Once Koatsu finished speaking, and he realized Giovanni had no intentions of doing so just yet, he cleared his throat, voice much more level now that he wasn't being bombarded with power.
"My reasons are quite simple. Truly not worth noting, but if you insist, I came to join out of.... Respect, for your squad in particular, and a wish to be a part of it."
He rubbed at the back of his neck with a soft grimace, rolling his head about a moment to ease the cramp that had so recently formed there.
