[Ichigo doesn't say anything for a little while. Strategy isn't his thing. He's good at making shit up on the fly, not figuring it out ahead of time. The reasons why things happen didn't really matter as much as them actually happening, and later on 'why' can be wondered about.
But Zangetsu's right about one thing. He's gonna protest.]
Hey, I don't need some magical fairy dust in order to beat him!
[Aaactually they're gonna need a lot MORE than that but it'd be a decent start. When he finally stops and thinks about the odds stacked against them, experiences Yhwach's power first hand, that opinion's going to do a radical 180 like it usually does when faced with insurmountable odds, but for now he's still determinedly certain he'd manage.
Honestly it's for the best Ichigo's not running things by himself, and that he does have multiple parts of his own being capable of making decisions without him. Things probably wouldn't go well otherwise.]
... But anyway, even if she's being 'nice' now, can she force you-
And you, now.
-To do things? Forget?
[Never mind that he too signed a contract, because that's never quite as important as what other people have done.]
How many of these other High Fae are her enemies?
[That's a thought, and having the question ventured at all draws a frown from Ichigo. He doesn't know a DAMN THING about the situation here but he knows plenty about what happens when people get ganged up on. If everyone else treats their contracts like slaves, and get power from having them to begin with, what happens if all the Ringmaster's enemies show up to say hello?]
