Ha! Hitsugaya thought. The whole problem was his lack of money… in fact he wasn’t even sure what kind of currency was used anyway. What was he to do? Obviously neither of these two would be much of a help… but he did need to learn more of this place since he was a ‘newcomer’, or so said the very patronizing woman.

“Just caught your interest?” the shinigami muttered with a scowl appearing on his face. He had met too many people who ‘interested’ them. In fact, one man in particular came to mind. Hitsugaya would never forget what he did to Hinamori. Never. He decided, however, to not intervene with the woman’s question, as he was a bit curious himself. This girl was extremely odd (not to say the green-haired woman wasn’t) and seemed out of place even for this strange city.
