"No, really."
Was that surprise in her eyes, staring down at the man amidst this chaos? He hardly looked like a fighter - regardless of Cheshire's own pride, she couldn't see him intimidating anyone. He was pretty, though, yes, oh so pretty, and that was more than enough to grab her attention. Not to mention the distinct lack of anything resembling respectable power, yet a notch above the other screaming souls that rushed from the slaughter. He was no lamb - more like a castrated goat. Those horns weren't going to do him any good.
"You can't be serious, right?", incredulous words, biting back the urge to beam him a grin that would only further her goading along. Her lack of manners in this matter made no difference - she had been watching Hollow and Shinigami mercilessly tear at each other since she arrived here. Many had been caught in this crossfire; as far as she was concerned, this spirit would just be another casualty of the mad King's war. Troublesome, yes, but of no direct concern to her. These lives meant nothing - her own sense of perverted control, however, did.
So she dug those nails of hers into her sleeves, red paint glittering with the same shade of the fluid lining the broken houses to either side of her. "You're going to get yourself killed if you don't leave, too," implying that his death wasn't entirely certain anyways. "What difference could you possibly make here? Why do you hang around?" If she was anything lesser than she was she'd remark that her curiosity was the only thing keeping him alive - but that wasn't her goal here, had never been. She had no interest in the killing of these people, adding to someone else's body count. This wasn't her war to fight - it wasn't this man's, either.
"Scurry along now, mouse," she sighed, turning slightly to the side and waving her hand. Such a good Samaritan she was, always looking out for the safety of others! This merited a reward when she returned home - a home, she bitterly remembered, which had been destroyed at the hands of the same man laying waste to this new world.
