...Was that his name? "...Maybe." He remembers 'centaur' and 'three legged enormous cat' and the way that interaction ended but the rest was sort of fuzzy. Still, Ichigo's overall impression from that meeting wasn't bad, therefore he had to be an okay sort of guy even if he looked weird.

"Trust is earned, and all you've ever done with it is try to kill me or possess me." It's said flatly, a touch coldly. Their interactions never were pleasant. "The ends don't justify the means."

What was he doing right now?

Ichigo doesn't relax immediately when Zangetsu sits down, that didn't mean the battle was won, simply ... delayed. He knows how this song and dance goes, and it's nothing like the dancing going on over there.

"...Ask for it whole and they're probably going to give it to you with all the feathers and inside bits."
