♔—;; Perhaps it was the deep-seated instinct granted to him by his previous form, but stalking the man below was far too easy. Others he had encountered before would have certainly noticed his presence by now. He was making no effort to conceal the spiritual pressure radiating from himself; to do so would have defeated the object of his little ‘outing’. It would surely only be a matter of time before his prey noticed him.
Unless, of course, he was simply pretending not to notice in hopes he would give up. As if he would ever give in so easily.
When the other stopped, the former Espada dropped down to perch on the edge of the building. He crouched down with legs tucked underneath him so he bore his weight on his toes and his lone hand gripped the edge of the roof, keeping himself steady as his left sleeve flapped uselessly in the light breeze.
“Heh, looks like you’re not as hopeless as I thought,” Grimmjow goaded, amusement evident in his tone and the way his face split into a broad grin.

But he was expecting it and thus he simply hung his head, disappointment welling up in his gut. A simple desire to not have anything encounter his very being, but of course that was defied by a semi-transparant being with a haughty voice.
“ Hopeless, no. Neither am I stupid, even if your words suggest so. I am well aware of my surroundings, even if something is invisible. ” It was how he was raised; Be aware of all and everything, and be aware of your surroundings. It was how battles were won.
Hanzo turned in his spot, eyes glancing from left and right as he go, looking for that one spot which seemed to be just off. A tangible silver lining between what felt real and what didn’t. Perhaps a weak flicker, like static in the air, or like that mirage which appeared in the distance on a hot summer day.
“ Stupidity lies with the ignorant. ” He uttered and stood straight, letting his eyes gaze over trees and houses in the distance, until they moved up and—
There it was. He said nothing and let his gaze continue to naturally flow away, as if he had seen nothing to begin with.
