"Flattering," Kalen thought when Yuudai said he was a full member of the fifth. While it was true that he had gotten in, he by no stretch was anything special among their ranks. In fact, he couldn't think of any time he'd met someone weaker than he was, except for the "normal" members. The numerous members of the fifth who were all around the same level didn't make any sense to compare himself to. At least, that's what he thought. Kalen decided he couldn't take anymore of this wallowing in self pity crap. He decided to shove his doubts, along with his broken pride, to the back of his mine he instead turned his focus to the human. The human girl who was, unsurprisingly, asking many questions.
At Kalen's first interpretation of her words, it almost sounded like she thought that he and Yuudai were crazy. However upon further examination of her words he realized that she was asking some pretty reasonable questions. "I see you appear to be confused. Shinigami is just the name we go by, it is likely that humans who could see us exaggerated our status to gods. Though for some it isn't that much of a stretch. Another name we go by is soul reapers, a name given to us by English folk who apparently didn't like our Japanese name." Kalen said, pausing for a moment to allow this to sink in. To stop contradicting what the human already knew, Kalen decided to assess a more grounded concern next.
"The clothing is just our commissioned uniform. Don't worry, I too recognise the stupidity involved in trying to fight with a sword in these baggy cloths, but we don't get that much liberty when it comes to fashion. After all, what we're a part of is what I believe you would equate to a military," Kalen said, calling upon the knowledge he'd gathered from the library about the human world. He also put a slight emphasis on how he thought the uniform was stupid.
Kalen took what he couldn't help but feel was sarcasm about his job coming from the human without complaint. He also took the opportunity to correct his partner, Also, the hollows don't actually eat flesh. Well they do, but that's not what they're trying to eat. They actually just have an insatiable hunger for strong souls, living or dead. So if they target a soul that is still 'living' then they end up tearing your body to shreds and eating it in the process of eating your soul. But yes, either way it is good that you did not get eaten," Kalen stated matter-of-factly, realizing how little sense that sentence made only after he said it.
His previously incomprehensible sentence paled in comparison to what he thought he heard when the human spoke of her power. Real life fortune teller was an understatement, Kalen could only imagine what that power could do when fully matured! Then the human asked about the Shunpō, which Kalen had very little answers for beyond "It makes us go fast". "Well the 'teleport thing' is also called a flash step by some if that gives you a better idea. As for the specifics I can't really help you there," Kalen said. Hoping Yuudai would get the hint and jump back into the conversation.
