He paused upon hearing Tensa's voice saying such a seemingly out of character thing for the ever quiet spirit. Orange brows shot up almost into his hairline and brown eyes are wide, confusion and slight wonder mixed within them. After a few moments, the reaper seemingly calmed down, or came back to himself. Either could have been what happened.
"Are we talking real skulls, skull mugs, or a secret third option?" Now, he expected such chaos from the Hollow aspect of his zanpakuto, not from the much calmer one. Then again, he had hurt both of them when he was younger, hadn't he? The idea was almost absurd, but he knew Tensa well enough to know that the spirit didn't say things he hadn't done. Which was why he'd asked his previous question.
The ginger couldn't help it, he let out a chuckle, lips twitching into a lazy smile for a minute or two. "Man, I never know what to expect from either of you two. You both keep me on my toes and I'm honestly glad about that." Sure, fighting and sparring helped keep him sharp, but his spirits helped to keep him on his toes. They made his life interesting.
"Was it your personal idea or did Zangetsu have a hand in it?" It was a genuine question, he could see either situation being the truth, but something told him that the idea had been all Tensa. He wasn't sure why but maybe being around the Hollow so much had some of that chaotic energy rub off on him. Or maybe, Tensa was simply coming out of his shell a bit more, he'd always been the more reserved of his spirts. The quieter part. The one that was seemingly sane.
