it’s nothing that she hasn’t endured before, injuries like this tend to come with the title. and yeah, she’s in some pain and it’s enough to be a hindrance to her – but there’s this huge need to brush it off like it’s nothing in front of ichigo. it’s like she’s trying to impress him by acting like she walked out of that fight unscathed.

     He hands her a towel, so she can get what’s left of the pulp out of her hair. 

    “You’re incapable of saying the words “I don’t know”, aren’t you?” 

     “Left?” He slides her an incredulous look. “Where the hell would I go? If you want space that bad, you leave.”
