She refused to let this get the better of her. Or rather, she refused to let Ichigo get the better of her, because he could be just so frustrating. Frustrating in that 'it's my job to save everyone' way that bothered her so much about Sousuke. Stupid Sousuke for not being here, stupid Sousuke for leaving in the first place. She clenched her fist at the memory, but refused to let it bother her.

Pulling more resolve, Kaname all but stomped down the street, determined to gather enough supplies to move out of that clinic that Ichigo had talked her into. She didn't want to just rely on the kindness of others. After all, she had lived on her own in Tokyo (with a little help, but she wasn't going to get into that) so she could do it here too.

Stuck in her own thoughts, the tip of her shoe got caught in the broken pavement, drawing a squeak from Kaname as she tumbled rather ungracefully forward, hissing more in anger than pain as she skinned her knee. Grumbling, she pushed herself into a sitting position, rubbing her skin.

"Stupid sidewalk

At the sound of someone stomping down the street, Sion looked down at the pavement below, tilting her head to the side curiously at the young woman storming along. She was curious as to why someone would be so angry (and on top of that, it was someone she had not yet seen) and quietly snaked Etherlight down to the ground, pausing when Kaname tripped, and moving quickly again once she was seated.

The tiny wire attached to the back of Kaname's head, barely rustling a single hair as Sion began to gather information. It was a process that took mere seconds as Sion began reading the woman's memories and feelings, carefully keeping her own memories and emotions separate.

Whispered... Black Technology... Mithril... stupid Sousuke Sagara...Etherlight was disconnected just as quickly and silently zipped back upward as Sion looked downward, her head tilting again in fascination. While she could download and process information and memories from other and become familiar with them as if they were her very own, without any additional studying

It was stupid, all so stupid. Ignoring the slight sting, Kaname pushed herself to her feet, wiping the dirt and grime from her legs the best she could. Trying to regain some sense of dignity, she looked around to make sure no one had seen, catching a glance of the top of a building in the corner of her eye. She paused for a second, swearing she saw someone up there, but ignoring it was always the best policy. Enough weird shit had happened to her.

Resuming her walk, Kaname made her way down the block, pausing as she peered through the broken window of an old convenience store. Stretching in, she was able to grab what looked like a can of some old tomato soup, but that was better than nothing. Looking around, she grabbed one of the curtains and ripped it down, turning it into a make-shift sack for her little shopping spree.

"Alright, got one thing more than he has! It has to get better from here," she said to boost her own morale, even if she didn't really believe it.

Sion remained seated on the top of the building and calmly watched the blue-haired girl walk off. She waited until enough space to follow and observe from without being noticed (yet still remain close enough to not lose sight) had opened up before moving across the rooftops, moving quietly as possible down a rusty fire escape when buildings gave way to open space.

"Simple observation will provide the best analysis at this point," Sion thought to herself as she hugged walls and maintained the safe distance between the two of them. Watching Kaname stop in front of an old convenience store, she quirked her head. With no currency or any state of order, looting was a common occurrence and the easiest way of obtaining supplies, so naturally it was nothing wrong or even unusual.

At Kaname's words, Sion gave the tiniest of smiles. What an interesting person.
