He wasn't useless... But she knew he didn't have much combat experience, and his abilities weren't really a good match against fire-breathing soldiers, she supposed. Still, she kind of wished he wouldn't say it like that, even if it were just to keep the mood light.

"I suppose you're right," she conceded. It wasn't easy to change her mood, but it was something to think about at least.

I guess there's a possibility that it'll show up when everyone's attention is focused on something else. It seems like it only attacks when it thinks it has an absolute advantage."

Which made his attack on Hector more surprising than when he'd gone after Peter on the roof. Orihime can only assume he just didn't realize how strong Tatsumaki was, and wasn't counting on Imelda to show up as quickly as she did.

"...Anou...are you doing okay after that? It must have been really scary."
