Training for CTP

Rosalia was off from school today able to enjoy it anywhere she picked but had one rule to follow. "If you're going out, you can't wear that hair piece, it blocks out too much of your spiritual pressure." She would sigh agreeing to what he asked. "Okay, I understand but given hollows can't sense me with it on, doesn't that help?" He did not answer, as she would get changed into something more relaxing not wearing an outfit for Quincy, and school. This outfit starts out with Rosalia's beautiful, buttoned blouse, that possesses both orange and white stripes took into a long wavy green skirt, adding more sex appeal with style, dawning, two accessories, first, golden bracelet, then also carrying one single brown handbag, for when she wishes to carry anything while traveling, and a green headband, that didn't hold back any of her power, looking like a beautiful and respectable young lady.

She would take the Limo as she would hear it from him later if she didn't. "Where to miss?" She would speak to the driver with a soft tone, yet wasn't shy. "Karakura Garden Center, please." She said, sitting back looking out the window, her father had many rules in place, but at the end that was just a father's job. But still picking who I marry, looking down at humans, all that was a little too much. "Miss, may I say your performance last week was beautiful." She smiled at him. "Thank you I am glad you liked it." Rosalia was able to play the Lyre, and harp at a world-class level, sometimes performing in front of many high ranking people.

Much time would pass as he would stop, with Rosalia leaving as he would come back later, she would be given a small book, telling her where to go reading it right away walking around. "I think they are this way." In time she would be walking past many flowers, Lily of the Incas, Anemone, Arum‑lily, Carnation, enjoying seeing them all, but would finally reach a red flower, that was more beautiful than any other in her mind, you could see the joy in her eye's from looking at the many roses in sight. "This is truly beautiful you can tell they have taken great care of them." As she got closer enjoy the scent they gave off, pushing her hair back with one hand, having a smile, this was the type of flower Rosalia model herself after, sharp yet beautiful, kind, and everlasting.

Training for CTP.

Stepping foot into the human world once again, Adolf took a deep breath. The air was much more refreshing than Hueco Mundo could ever hope to be. Ah, the human world. It's good to be back, he thought to himself. He closed the Garganta behind him, taking his first few steps into a place titled Karakura town. It seemed to be quite populated, possibly a place he could lead hollows to as a sort of feeding ground. Though, that was far from his priority at the moment. Having quite a bit of time to himself for the next little while, he decided that would be better used "honing his mental skills", as he told his fellow Espada. In short, the Octava just wanted an excuse to have some time for himself to read. Due to the extensive amount of physical training he had put himself through quite often as of late, rest was not something he got often. He decided to take advantage of this time, and use it to do something he enjoyed.

Making his way to a nearby book store, Adolf had a rather good idea to getting a book. Because of his Arrancar nature, most people would not be able to see him. He decided to use this to his advantage. Upon finding a book he thought was interesting, he threw it towards the opening as quickly as he could, as to attract as minimal attention as possible, and quickly made his way to said book before it dropped, as to not damage it. He eventually repeated this process until he was able to clear the book out of the store, thankfully without setting off any kind of alarms, or alerting much of anybody, aside from those who saw a book randomly fly through the air. The book was in fairly good condition after the ordeal had ended, which is all he could really hope for. Getting a book, check. Next up, finding a place to actually read.

Adolf took some time pondering where he could go. The first thought that came to his mind was a park, but that was quickly shut down after he realized that he might be made a bit obvious with a book randomly floating in a place as public as that, as well as possibly make him the victim of an unwanted fight with a Shinigami, Quincy, or the like. He was here to enjoy this peaceful time, not to get into a brawl with someone looking to destroy him. At that point, though, plenty of places needed to be crossed off the list. There weren't too many places left for him to go, though those few came to his mind rather quickly.

Deciding to act on the first thought, the Espada began to make his way towards a nearby garden center, after spotting a tourist's map on the ground. This may be the place I'm looking for, he thought. Upon eventually arriving, he smiled. The place was relatively quiet. This'll be perfect! He made his way to a nearby corner, and sat down, as to keep the whole "floating book" think on the down-low, literally. If someone came by, there wasn't much he could do except put the book on the ground and move out of the way. Allowing someone to notice he was there was one of the worse things he could do at the moment, as that could likely attract unwanted hostile attention to himself.

Rosalia wasn't new to the spiritual world, knowing about it from an early age, but giving she doesn't wish to become like her father in thinking Quincy are gods/goddess among everyone else, her powers didn't fully develop not because she couldn't but wouldn't, afraid of the outcome, if she did train, and unlocked that ability which displays power, something inside our young lady could wake up. It's why she doesn't know about all the races, hollows are common, but Arrancars not so much, especially Espadas class ones. Then, as she enjoyed the rose aroma, something powerful could be felt, similar to hollows, yet stronger and more controlled, truly Rosalia has never felt anything near this dark before.

It did make Rosalia pause in place for a second, like, you guessed she had to see who this strength came from looking around giving how strong this person was, it wouldn't take Rosalia long to find whom it was coming from. Then she saw it a man with black hair, but...... His clothes where, unlike Shinigami, oddly enough, they were similar to Quincy being all white, but he wasn't one of us, she could tell that for sure. She got closer and couldn't help saying this out loud being close enough for him to see Rosalia now. "Horns?" The only thing that suited now was hollow, but they wear masks, something covering their face, but she could see his clear as day.

That dark aura was no doubt closer towards hollows, but if she had to guess, this man is similar to a demon. If we Quincy are the gods, then is it a new race that could become the demons? She didn't know, but so far he hasn't done anything wrong, just sitting down reading his book, but then had an odd thought, towards most humans nobody could see him, so all they see is a floating book, meaning normal people might think it's a ghost, she would just act like he wasn't there right now looking at the flowers, but he would be able to feel the power from Rosalia, and her gaze looking at him at times, like she was checking up on him. But there was something else around, Rosalia unable to sense it because they were not close enough or she didn't get used to sensing something this week, meaning it had to give off a strong commanding aura for our young lady to know it was around.

Then she got tired of waiting the man didn't act that odd, just reading, yet that aura was too dark to stop thinking about as she would stand only feet away from him. "Hello, I don't mean to bother you, but it's odd someone with your strong aura is sitting down alone reading quietly, I only ask as normal people might find it odd a book can stand on its own." She said watching her manners, as he hasn't done anything to not earn them yet, not knowing what he really was, but if she did would Rosalia care?

Quickly sensing the girl in the room, Adolf immediately did what he could to further envelop himself in his book. Picking up that she was a Quincy wasn't too hard considering his energy sensory abilities, and he really was not looking for a fight. All he wanted was to spend a few hours minimum reading. A whole day preferably, but a few hours out of Hueco Mundo would suffice. Let's face facts, the place was pretty depressing as it was, so the less time spent there the better. Of course, he'd be bound to head back there some time, but until then, he wanted to enjoy his short-lived time outside of the desert.

Every now and then, Adolf looked up towards the girl who seemed to be observing him every now and then, feeling her gaze on him. He shivered in response, and did what he could to ignore it, thinking to himself. If she were looking to pick a fight, surely she would've provoked him by now. This wasn't someone who was looking for conflict, that much was able to be presumed. Though, what if that had been but a ruse? Perhaps she was looking to do what he normally did, and make peace before surprising with an attack if necessary? Even if she wasn't, perhaps that would be the best approach? Make friendly chatter until she proved a threat?

"Hello, I don't mean to bother you, but it's odd someone with your strong aura is sitting down alone reading quietly, I only ask as normal people might find it odd a book can stand on its own." Well, there goes making first contact, he thought to himself. Adolf stood up rather quickly, neatly tucking the book beneath his arm as to keep it as out of sight as possible, and turned to face the girl with a smile. "Apologies, Miss, I'm just doing what I can to enjoy my time not spent in bloodshed while I can. I realize it might be a bit... peculiar, to say the least, that I'm not looking to start trouble of any kind, but I'm genuinely not interested in causing a ruckus at the moment. I merely want to enjoy my time out of Hueco while I can."

Adolf glanced around, as to see if there was anybody observing either one of them. Nobody seemed to be watching, so they were relatively safe as far as bystanders go. He turned back to the girl in front of him. "So," He continued, trying to sound as respectful as possible, "Whom do I have the pleasure of meeting today? My name is Adolf Reinhard, if you're interested to know. I can't say that I'm not curious to know who you might be, and what exactly you're doing here, if you wouldn't mind sharing? Perhaps we could both keep each other occupied?" The Octava did what he could to avoid sounding creepy, and genuinely tried to be friendly. Social interaction wasn't exactly a strong-suit of his, so it would certainly take practice before he got to a point where he was comfortable chatting with others. Hopefully this would be the practice he needed.

Rosalia couldn't tell he was an Arrancar, giving this is the first one she's met, and didn't have the ability to sense spiritual power like him. She has never been to his world, but giving it's a desert, it wouldn't be our young ladies thing, giving Rosalia likes plants, and it's hard to grow them inside sand. Rosalia didn't wish to have a fight, giving it would do nothing but cause destruction, well, giving he's a lot stronger it wouldn't even be a fight to start with, being one sided. He talked with manners, but one thing made Rosalia think. I'm just doing what I can enjoy my time not spent in bloodshed? So was most of his life spent with it? Well question for another time, she wasn't going to look into that.

Then it came to light. "It sounds like you spend your time fighting and killing, wait Hueco..." Hollows live there right, she looked him up and down, and.... he looked human enough nothing monstrous about him, that matched hollows at all, not in the slightest. "Hueco? That's where hollows come and go correct? I don't think you're one of them." She said trying to think of something else that comes from that world, trying to think about what her father would tell her. But that didn't help.

"Me? I'm Rosalia Masurao, a Quincy, and I came here because I love seeing flowers mostly roses, they are something I admire, and I grow my own at home, but seeing someone else take care of them, you get to see a different type from how that person has looked after them, be it from the petals, stem length, or the shade of red, no rose is the same." She said having a smile while talking about roses. "And I wouldn't mind at all, may I ask what you're doing here? I can understand reading a book here would be a good choice because there is no noise, but wouldn't a library be better?" She said waiting to hear his story.

[Deleted]

Adolf took a moment to listen to what Rosalia had to say. A Quincy, huh? He made sure to keep his guard up. While it wasn't known how she could've done, or whether or not she was holding back, he wasn't going to take a chance like that again. Not after what happened with that one red-haired Quincy a while back. If he were to get himself stuck in another fight like that, entering the Human World would be something he'd have to cut back on rather severely. "Flowers, huh?" he said with a smile, "They're certainly interesting to look at for sure. I can't disagree with you there." He wanted to add more to the conversation at hand, but didn't have too much to say on the topic of flowers. He didn't know much else other than they were plants, in all honesty.

He continued to listen to her question, and eventually proceeded to answer. "Why I'm here? Well, a library, while is quite quiet, is honestly too quiet for me. I need some noises in order for me to actually focus on my reading." Adolf shrugged. "I guess it's one of those things that I need in order to get things done. Can't be too quiet or too loud, y'know?" Adolf looked around, as though expecting something. "As far as why I'm here, I'm more just focused on enjoying some time to myself. I just want to get out of Hueco Mundo while I can, it's much too depressing to be there." Once again, he glanced around the area they were in, scanning to see if anything was different or abnormal.

For a fairly good reason, Adolf was a bit paranoid about Rosalia. A Quincy that had seemingly approached him out of nowhere? This was something he definitely needed to take caution towards. As such, he made sure to visibly keep an eye on her. He wasn't going to be taken by surprise again, if he could help it. For now, friendly conversation was a priority, and he'd attack if he needed to. Though, she didn't seem to be providing a reason to do so, nonetheless she could still surprise him with this. It was quite an amount for him to take in at once, so he did what he could to clear his mind, but kept up his guard.

Unlike him thinking Rosalia was holding back she couldn't sense his energy yet, well not really, so didn't know this man's true power, but had this feeling he was much stronger than herself, Rosalia knowing this for one simple fact. She didn't have much control over using arrows yet, even summoning them was impossible, so even a soul reaper with only having his/her weapon could prove to become a problem for our young Quincy. Hmm, she could understand what he met, being similar towards how people who turn the TV on, but pay it no attention at all, they just like hearing the background noise allowing them to feel more at home or relaxed.

Hueco Mundo? He dodged Rosalia's question now that she thought about it. "Why do you go to Hueco Mundo?" She asked, wondering would he try and get around that question again. "But yes, I can understand, the background noise can relax some people." Rosalia could tell he was into reading so why not change the topic about that, giving she kind of has the same hobby in some ways. "I read a lot myself, but it's mostly about Greek mythology, my favorite part was about how the rose came into creation." She said smiling, thinking the same with keeping an eye on him.

Soon after Rosalia would sit down still possessing her smile ready to ask another question. "If you're okay with me staying for a while, may I ask what your reading?" She said trying to make there talk last a little longer. That dark spiritual pressure did make our young lady worry, but so far she didn't think he was that bad giving he's done nothing wrong, and it's nothing around here he could do evil towards, so, for now, she only thought he came here to relax.

(If you wish to add an enemy or hollow getting closer you can, I just feel like I would do it wrong, as I'm bad at that stuff lol.)
