[Static. Static that gives way to a blurry, shaky camera arc, clearing on a section of the wall outside of the Inner City. But like the Animus posts, there's no PCD on the other side of the recording. It just... is, transmitting itself with no apparatus.

The image eventually sharpens. A small fish- mostly green- swims in quick loops, darting around the screen. Considering all the water, it doesn't look out of place.

A single voice finally cuts in, though it fades in and out.]

Hello!

It's much brighter out here.

[Something has left the Inner City.]

...No, but I should have. Thalatte.

[He's not quite sure what to say after that, so he only offers a small, stiff bow.]

[Keeps swimming calmly around.]

Nothing important. [What do you say to the nice animus who is suddenly, apparently, separate from the mean animus?] You prefer it out here?

[Or at least, the easily distracted Animus separated from the horde.]

Your senses are more your own.

How so?

[It's creepy because it's so innocent. Hitsugaya sighs.]

Hyourinmaru is fine. He's here, at least. [Just a teensy, tiny bit accusatory.]

You came to get a better look then.

He isn't meant to be stored.

That much is obvious.

I don't store him. [Huff. His head is not a warehouse, okay.]

[He's looked in on a few other running conversations, and while he's not nearly as welcoming as most people, he recognizes that this is the one projection of the animus that has been taking progressive steps toward further communication.]

But you want to.

What would you like to see?

[Oh. Well. That's helpful.]

In that case... a tour of the city?

...The buildings, you mean?

[Would Hinamori or Sasuke appreciate an animus fish getting a tour of the house?]

[Hitsugaya is not an ambassador. He is a military captain. There is a very good reason for this.

All of the pros and cons are running through his mind like wildfire, and that's making it very difficult to think about anything else.]

I can't compromise anyone else's location, but I may be able to offer my own home. If I can come to know more about you as a whole as well.

[The fish merely swims back and forth. Despite all that it isn't, it looks harmless on its own.]

[It's not an answer, but if she's just observing, that means they can observe her as well.]

...Very well.
