All right. What's the plan now?

Or don't you have a plan? You don't, do you? Can't say I'm surprised. You never know what you're doing.

Whatever. Just don't take forever figuring it out. I've still got a lot left to do and I don't have time to wait on you.

Um... Maybe it's more exciting for them like this? The flying by the seat of their pants thing.

[ ... although supposedly, Kurosaki-kun does a lot of that, too... maybe he's getting tired of it...? ]

[1stguardian]

If that's what it was, I'd be okay with it. No, she's just...

[ He shakes his head. ]

I don't even know.

[faeth]

Well, what's the view like?

[1stguardian]

What do you mean?

[faeth]

If you don't know if she's flying by the seat of her pants or not, you can always look out the window.

[ the straightest face ever, like this is a matter of utmost importance. ] Try it now. Tell me what you see, Kurosaki-kun.

[1stguardian]

Oh. Okay. Uh...

[ It's obviously important to her, and since he's pretty well clueless about everything, he does as directed. ]

Looks like a carpet, Inoue. I don't think she's flying at all.

[faeth]

Y-You don't know that! Maybe it's a flying carpet. Make a wish, and maybe she'll turn you into a prince!

[1stguardian]

Think you got my idiot mixed up with a better one.

[ He offers her a grin. ]

'Fraid you're stuck with non-prince me.

/2

[faeth]

[ she gives a meek smile in return. at least he seems a like he's a little cheered up. ]

No, I think Kurosaki-kun is much kinder than any prince.

[faeth]

-- After all! He saves everyone, not just the princess! So I think I'd prefer the non-prince Kurosaki-kun, any day.

[1stguardian]

[ That makes the grin bigger. ]

Glad you think so. Between you and me, Inoue, I think I'd look like an idiot in tights.

[faeth]

[ sheepish giggling. ]

The first step to looking good is self-confidence! If not the tights, then maybe a feathered hat and a tailored cape? (You can double as a super hero! Saving damsels by day, stealing from the rich and feeding the poor by night!)

[1stguardian]

I could get behind a cape. Just. Don't tell Ishida I said that, okay?

[ He rolls his eyes. ]

I'd never hear the end of it.

[faeth]

Mm? Why is that?

[ blinking inquisitively. ] I'm not yet confident in my stitching for such a grand endeavor, but I'm sure Ishida-kun would be happy to get you fitted for something if you're interested.

[1stguardian]

Ishida would put strawberries on it.

It's okay. We can skip the cape. My bankai's kind of like a cape anyway. Long. Billowy. It's great.

[faeth]

[ ... oh oops, don't snort, Orihime, that would be rude.

anyway, she tries to picture it: Ichigo Kurosaki, the Bankai prince. ] Yes, but I think it's still missing something, though...

[1stguardian]

[ He tries to imagine what it's missing. There's the obvious thing, and that makes him roll his eyes. ]

Hope you don't mean a crown, because one of those would look horrible with my hair.

[faeth]

You don't get a crown until you're a king, I think! But I guess a tiara would look a little silly...

[ she can picture it -- and framing his figure with her fingers, she peers at him through it. ] Do you know how to ride horseback, Kurosaki-kun?

[1stguardian]

No way am I wearing a tiara, Inoue. My sisters, on the other hand, would love that. I get one, I'll give it to them.

[ He has to think about that one for a minute. Turns out, no, he has no idea how to do it. ]

Not really. But it can't be that hard, can it? I bet I could.

[faeth]

If we asked one of those talking ponies to help out, maybe we can find out if it's a latent talent of yours!

[ yes, because prince charmings ride my little ponies around, very good, Orihime. ]

[repelling]

[ Or crosses. ]

[1stguardian]

What?

[ Nope. Didn't say a thing. What's a cape? ]

[repelling]

If you wanted a cape, that could be arranged!

[ Don't mind him he's kind of excited by this. ]

[1stguardian]

[ All of Ichigo's unsure right now. ]

You're serious, aren't you?

[repelling]

[ How can he even ask that? It is impossible to joke about capes. ]

Now, not white, of course. Black has potential, but it might be a little... expected.
