Abaddon looked very noticeably confused by Shizuka's question and she honestly wasn't too entirely sure why. She stared at the man, then the portal, then the man again, unsure of what the problem was. Did she accidentally say something wrong? She didn't think she had. The blonde thought for a moment as she reached her hand behind her head and played with her hair. Thankfully, it didn't take too long before Abaddon spoke up again. At least she wouldn't have to awkwardly ask what the heck happened.
“Shizuka, forgive me but I don’t mean to be rude at all, but you do understand what you just walked through is right? Let me be clear, you understand that you walked through a garganta, a hollow and arrancar specific technique right?”
"Uh, I knew that's what it was, but I didn't realize only Hollow and Arrancar could use it. I never really thought abilities like this were restricted, I guess? I knew I couldn't do it, but I figured it was because I never learned how."
“Shizuka, hollow reiatsu is toxic to quincy, so much so that one wrong move here in this world and I could end up dying a painful and horrific death. So why would you see a quincy use a technique that should be lethal to them and simply ignore it? Or….. did you not know that about quincy?... Shizuka tell me what you know about the other races, no wait tell me how many races are there not counting humans without powers.”
She thought for a moment, slightly embarrassed that she had to admit not knowing about something. "I've not really done a lot of research on other races, especially since I can't really tell too much about them right off the bat. I couldn't sense absolutely everything about you because I can't hardly sense you at all. Just the basics. But um... Bounts are like vampires, sort of. Quincies use arrows, Hollows are giant dead monsters but can be nice. Arrancar.... I've met one who's awesome but the rest are like boney Shinigami. And then there're ones like me! I gather research about the individual, not necessarily their race. I don't discriminate based on that. I just look for history and power."
It wasn't every day, or even often at all in general, that Shizuka got called out for not knowing much about the others. She did intentionally leave out Shinigami, as well, but only because she knew enough. She didn't care to talk about those dreadful things. The Fullbringer shied away from Abaddon for a moment out of a spot of shame but tried her best not to let it show too much. She didn't think she was the worst for not understanding techniques, but she also didn't want to come off as a complete idiot. She just tended to assume everyone was a Fullbringer but either dead or alive. And some liked blood. It was that simple.
