The young man replaced the vials into his pocket as he heard the questions coming from the shrine maiden and her conclusions. This was going to take some explaining… His smile faded away but the mirth in his general attitude was harder to dismiss. ken stood by Tsubaki and let his eyes meet hers for a moment, his true emotions being fully on show deep in his deep brown orbs.
“Miss, you have never heard of me and my people… right?” He asked being rhetorical, the Quincy race was at most myth and rumour that danced on the fingertips of strange keyboard warriors in obscure forums. “No. That’s because of two things. Secrecy, and coverups. And that is more to keep people ignorant and away from panic.” He explained as he pulled the empty vial out. “Most people never have the ability to see spirits, those that do commonly lose it as they grow up, dismissed as an overactive imagination and childhood imaginary friends. If people knew that Hollows existed and could appear at any time, at any place they decided to and just eat the spirit if their recently deceased granny and, in the process, bulldoze a house there would be panic. Society would collapse.”
He turned to the side and took a step and gestured for the woman who had never even told him her name to follow him. “My people do a lot of work to keep humanity safe from the monsters and to make sure this information doesn’t cause unnecessary panic.” Ken finally said before regaining his smile now that the hard part was over. “Please… if you wish I can take you to my father, and if you want to argue age old traditions and teachings then he is the best man for it.”
