Travelling by rooftop was always quicker, even when using shunpo. There was less navigating to do. And normally, he would have headed straight back to the offices, but it was a slow night and there was a very particular aura that drew his attention. He didn't know exactly what it was, but it bore investigation.

He alighted on the other side of the rooftop where he could sense the spiritual presence. Regarding the figure ahead of him, he realized that he recognized him. That man who had been having trouble containing his power on the network. And just how much trouble was he having now?

"Oh. It's you."

It said something about how distracted Frau was that he hadn't even felt Hitsugaya approach. It was easy enough for him to hold himself still and hide that fact though. Finally he tipped his head slightly to the side to peer over his shoulder at Hitsugaya.

"Me?" Wait a minute here. Wasn't this that annoying little brat that had seen him fighting with the scythe awhile ago? Of all of the people who could have shown up... Frau let a cocky smile slip across his face in place of the irritation that was growing in him.

"Well, looky here, it's Shorts. Up here to see what it's like on the taller end of things?"

His jaw clenched at that. Goddamn this idiot. "Stop calling me that."

But he wouldn't allow himself to be bothered further. At least not yet. It was mostly just the stupid nickname at this point. Hell, it wasn't even a creative stupid nickname. He'd heard worse.

And he wasn't answering that question, at least not directly. Doing so would likely have resulted in even more ridiculous teasing. "And how well do you have that thing under control tonight?"

Normally Frau would have thrown some good come back to that. An even better nickname. Like Frostbite. Unfortunately Frau didn't even get a chance to start saying it before Hitsugaya asked his own question. Of all things, Hitsugaya had to ask him about control now.

Frau's eyes narrowed, and he actually turned fully to face Hitsugaya. The ice that flashed through Frau's eyes might even impress the ice captain.

"It's fine."

He wasn't lying. With how things had turned out, Frau was on high alert for the scythe to do anything. One half inch out of line and that was already too much. Frau might be distracted from everything else, but not the scythe. No, the scythe was under full control.
