Problems, Tricera? (Shinya~)

What was she meeting him here for? Saraiyu couldn't for the life of her remember. Maybe it had something to do with his lack of... things. What things? Was he missing things? Sarai pushed some of her gradient hair over her shoulder and leaned against the table in a sort of lounge room. She wore her regular uniform, but her hair was down for once and it was annoying her.

Oh! Maybe it was about his working... No? This was an embarassment. How could she not remember what she had called him here for.

Shinya muttered to himself as he walked through the halls of Las Noches, seemingly preoccupied with something. That something was that Saraiyu called him to meet with him about something, but she didn't tell him exactly why she wanted to meet with him. No matter, He thought to himself, It shouldn't exactly be a problem, after all. Still, why were they meeting alone?

Either way, he was here now, having walked up to see Saraiyu with an odd expression on her face. This made him frown; was he in trouble? What'd he do this time?! "You wished to see me?" He finally spoke, making his presence known. He stood by the table with his hands clasped behind his back, staring down at his leader. Honestly, he was a little unnerved by this and wanted to be sure he shouldn't be running for his life.

"This isn't a formal meeting, you can loosen up." Saraiyu looked up just in time to see her tricera standing there, rather... formally. She quirked a smile and waved her hand at him and then a chair. "You can sit if its more comfortable."

She finally remembered why she had called the man here and felt a twinge of guilt. Since she HAD forgotten why she wanted to meet with him, Sarai might have been a bit too mysterious in her summons. He was an Espada, it was his job to come when she called but... She'd rather he trust her than just obey. Hoping he'd sit, she leaned forward as her hands held her face. "What do you know of the Human World, Shinya?"

Taking her words as a means that he's not in trouble, Shinya relaxed his tensed body and sat when asked to. She asked him about the human world, which brought another frown to his face. He didn't have many good memories about the human world, due to how he died. "I.. don't know much about it really." He admitted after a few seconds of thought. "I just remember a little of before I died as a human and that wasn't very pleasant."

"I remember it being a terrible place of where good people were trampled upon by the bad and no one really tried to do anything about it." Shinya spoke, the anger in his voice evident. "But then again, I haven't been there in almost 2000 years so it might've changed by now."

"That sounds about accurate for any realm, not just the human's. However... It has changed quite a bit." Saraiyu smirked and waved her hand, as one part of a wall facing Shinya switched to pictures. It showed some of the odd inventions the humans had come up with.

"They lack powers like ours, but they come up with the weirdest things to combat such inefficiencies. The Espada and humans have changed quite a bit. The shinigami are lagging behind... You are ignorant of the current state of human world, then?" Her face was almost blank as she spoke her next words. "Would you care to learn of it? It is a rather neutral meeting ground for the races."

Shinya blinked at the images she showed him; it was a world of difference from what he remembered. They never had anything like those things back when he was alive! As Saraiyu explained a bit to him, he frowned again once she asked if he wanted to learn more about the human world. It was hard to say she didn't pique his curiousity, but then again his bad experience was still there in his mind. "Actually, I suppose I would want to learn more about the state of the human world currently.." Shinya says finally with a sigh. Something about this seemed a bit odd though, why should he care about the human world?"

"Is.. there a reason you're asking me this, Saraiyu? Is there something you want me to do in the human world?" Shinya asks, arching an eyebrow.

"I don't like having ignorant Espada, Shinya." Saraiyu's eyebrow raised in response to Shinya's, testing or taunting. She stood up and leaned over the table towards the other arrancar. "Your ignorance, willing or not, is not a positive thing. There are spiritual beings there just as there are here and since you are so behind on this, I will take you personally."

"I need an Espada to watch over our interests in the human world, but I don't want someone who knows nothing. Nor am I going to force you to take up this role... But I do want you to at least learn more about it first." As she moved to stand upright once more, Saraiyu threw some of her hair back over her shoulder. "You can refuse this offer, but I will be a little miffed. It is your right though as my Tricera, and I have to accept that."

"Alright then, when do we leave?" Shinya stated without another word. The Corona had something she wanted him to do and he had yet to find his place in the inner workings of Las Noches. So the least he could do was see what the human world was like nowadays instead of stubbornly refusing to go there like he has been doing.

Besides, she was right about him being ignorant. Even when alive he didn't know much of the world around him besides his little corner of the world, that is. Well whatever, it should be an interesting excursion to say the least.

"Well... its not like you need to interact with things. We can leave now." Saraiyu waved her hand and a gaping maw appeared. Walking forward into it, the corona turned to look back, half of her mouth quirking into a smile. Oh boy, he had his chance to say no. She was being playful and the poor Tricera would now reap the... benefits? of that.

"You're brave to be doing this you know. Most of the others wouldn't do this with the mood I'm in." The offhand comment was all she left in the room as she headed into the portal without waiting for him to follow.

Shinya shrugged to himself and rose from his seat to follow Saraiyu. Nothing ventured nothing gained he guessed... although her comment of him being brave and why seemed to make him sweat a little. This could get a bit strange, he figured as he followed his Corona through the portal. All he could think of was what madness awaited him on the other side.. and what madness would his Corona get him involved in.

Either way, he chose this path and there's no going back now, right?
