He’d hardly been at the 12th Division for a few moments before being bombarded by a small crowd. Questions, most of which he had himself, came flying towards him with a fierce expectation for answers. Mild, well-controlled breaths spewed over his lips, each small gust rustling loosened beard hairs beneath. For a moment he’d say nothing, peering out into the distance again, wondering just what was happening in the Central District. More than likely, many of the others would begin to flock there. Higen had known better, though, understanding the mistake it was to approach the Head Captain or even his Vice-Captain during high octane combative moments. Everyone was more likely to get in the way or get themselves killed rather than offer any form of assistance. There was no way he could get the message to stay away out on time, if his assumptions were correct, things were probably already in motion. Eyes of garnished sapphire peered down towards the trio in which he towered over, his heroic pose still in use.
“I’m afraid I’m in the dark just as much as you all. Sitting here talking about things won’t do anyone any good, though. You two..”
He paused for a moment, a slight shift in his posture was accompanied by a rising right arm, his fingers pointed at the blue haired girl and blonde haired boy; they seemed to be a duo of some kind. Every able body person was to be in use during times of crisis, they were no exception.
“Head to the Northeast Seiretei, confirm the status of the 7th Division Barracks as well as assist the Fourth Division with their casualties and injuries, I’m sure they could use some extra hands.”
The odd, whimisical-looking male that had exited from the Institute then caught his attention. Higen had little time to glance at the interesting speaking device, or even ask any questions that his youthful, curious nature seemed to be begging to ask.
“I don’t think the two events are connected, but were you here when my hollow head arrived earlier today? I’m extremely anxious to see the results of the preliminary tests. Something's afoot, I’m just not sure what.”
Any Captain would have taken initiative and sent higher seated members to secure the remainder of the Seireitei, it was simply protocol. For their benefit, it was best if the order was taken without defiance or hesitation. With his inquiries, perhaps some insight into the strange hollow activity would be given. As time passed, he was sure more would be revealed about the intentions of the Second Division captain as well, or whomever had been responsible for this premeditated attack on the Gotei 13.
