“My hollow has not taken control in a year and a half now, though she has gotten disturbingly close” Chie said. Chini grumbled in the back of her head at that reminder. Her hollow hated to be reminded that she was not quite as superior as she felt. A small laugh at Chini’s expense escaped Chie’s lips.
“So I take it that you have been out of Soul Society for a while. Have you used that time to tame your hollow? I don’t sense your hollow” Chie said with a quizzical look. Perhaps this guy could give her some advice on getting Chini fully under her control. Either way this conversation had gone from aggravating to interesting rather quickly.
Shinji Hirako, she would have to remember to get someone from her squad to look into that name. The more information she had to work with the better.

"'S quite a while ta dodge a takeover," Shinji said, tilting his head. "I'd wager it wasn't really tryin'. Bidin' its time, 'n such."
He grinned, because he knew if the hollow had been trying, that would piss it off, and Shinji could get a sort of gauge of its strength. He studied her, still not sure he trusted her, but as usual, knowing that she'd need control of the hollow, at least to prevent the monstrosity's escape.
"Not long enough, if ya ask me," Shinji said with a grin. "An' o' course I did. I had plenty o' time ta do it. And my hollow's shy. Doesn't like meetin' new people."
He grinned as he spoke, but he knew he needed to get more out of this one before he fully considered helping her. He wasn't even completely necessary, and if it turned out not to be, he'd be more than capable of leaving her as she was.
Besides, more control was dangerous, because you can rely on the hollow more. It doesn't just go away, after all.

Chini burned with anger at the man's comment that she was not even trying. She tried once again to take control though this time she failed easily in her blind rage. Chie outright laughed at the failed attempt. Her hollow was better than this but not in a complete frenzy and certainly not when Hime was helping Chie keep her in line.
"If you were trying to irritate my hollow you did a fine job of it" she said between her laughs. Chini just raged on while Hime joined in laughing. Chie, regaining her composure, looked at the man once more. She had to wipe a single tear from her eye she had laughed that hard. She rarely devolved into a fit like that but he had managed to press all of Chini’s little pet peeves in one sentence.
"How long, exactly, is plenty of time? I can control her but I'd rather not have to worry about her taking control. If nothing else my hollow needs to be taught her place" Chie said with more than a small hint of irritation edging her voice. If this man was going to continue hinting at his ability to teach her she wondered just what his game was. She didn’t know and he certainly was not giving anything away with his nonchalant attitude.
After all, nothing is ever free and everything has a price.

Shinji grinned. He could feel the subtle flow of rage with the hollow stirring, but this one had the capacity to control it. That was good. Very, very good.
"Oh, I was," Shinji laughed, "I'm sure I'm more'n capable of dealin' with a slight outbreak like that. Ain't a thing. Now, tha fact that it bothers ya, that's worrisome. Do ya not feel confident? Cause you shouldn't. Ya shouldn't ever."
Shinji eyed the girl, the hollow was the key, here. Her reliability was secondary. It didn't matter if he trusted her, it mattered that she wasn't a continuous risk to everyone.
"Plenty o' time... is plenty o' time. There ain't a better way ta put it. You'll know. It's less for some, more for others," Shinji said, his eyes narrowing as he spoke. "Ya seem to have that little pest under quite a bit o' control, an' thas good. But I ain't worried about tha'. Never get comfortable. Never relax around it. It ain't yer friend, even if it lies. It wants ta be you. It ain't gonna be pretty when it is, either."
Shinji stared at the girl, wondering if she'd understand that Shinji was still antagonizing the hollow on purpose. It'd been quite some time since his hollow had given him any trouble. He knew he had worked out a way to make sure of that, but confidence was the same as weakness when it came to these monsters. They'd jump at a moment's notice, and smother you in their rage. At least, as far as Shinji knew, that was true.
"Her place is at yer side. It ain't up to you if she takes the passenger seat or the driver seat. Ya gotta show yer dominance," Shinji said, his face serious. "Ya can't just expect her to give up. Ya gotta show her that she ain't dominant. Got any ideas fer that one?"
