Gio had to get a very clear head before he went to do what he was going to do. He sat beside a river and meditated to do so. Being drawn into his inner world he greeted his spirit with a smile. The winged lion only swished his tail in response and yawned. Gio had expected sorareo-O to be hyped up from the last fight but the lion simply lazed about...like a lion. So approached his companion an laid against him, nestled between fur and feathers. The tranquil warmth was always soothing to Giovanni.
"Why not go to squad 12?" Sorareo-O asked without stirring.
"I still don't remember what happened the last time I went for one" gio replied. The last thing he remembered was talking to Lieutenant Ryuu and the waking up with a massive migraine.
"Besides what is there for me? "
"It's a place of innovation and progress, there's bound to be something you can learn from the captain. Though you should pick your words carefully. "
"Why? You think we might become expirements?"
"Remember how the corps were so eager to test your senses?" Sorareo-O asked
"Mhm" how could he forget that damn cave. And that was only the begining, they wanted to do so much more to him.
"Wat makes you think the department of research and development is any different? Or any better? " sorareo-O answered. As usual the lion had a point. Which didn't make Gio want to go over there. "Captain zero is still a captain, maybe he can tell you what happened....by running a few tests"
"Now your just being an ass" Gio nudged sorareo-O making the lion laugh.
When Gio opened his eyes in the outer world he arose and headed back towards the seireitei. Next stop squad 12
