A wave of relief washed over Lazarus at the mention of the Shinigami being the one to land the finishing blow, on the surface nothing had changed, simply nodding in accordance with her words. It was a good thing to know that it wasn't anything that she had done and that the soul of the hollow was rightfully deemed for hell from the start.
"It is true that hollows more closely follow the nature they displayed in life, though it can differ in depth depending on the strength of the soul and how frequently they displayed those actions or practices. A fine example would be a serial killer over a delivery man, the former killer might stalk a particular type of prey, while the delivery man might keep to his old routes from when he was alive. The difference being that the delivery man might not target any of his former customers, just attacking at random along his route, In contrast, the killer turned hollow might go far distances to find the prey it wants. It's those little details that make hollows more interesting than just soul-devouring monsters, and even then they serve a purpose." It didn't shock him that it would take a combined effort to take down a hollow, hell's even the most mundane hollow can overtake a seasoned Shinigami if it played its cards right.
"I typically just avoid them when possible, I don't much like having to fight, and hollows can be ruthless when it comes to attacking what they deem as prey." Not having to reveal to her the true nature of their powers and the consequences of using them on souls was a load off his shoulders, it wasn't a burden he wished to drop on another Quincy if he could help it. "I know Shinigami can have unique weapons, did he have anything other than a standard sword when you encountered him?"
