[Ginshu is one moment away from extricating herself from the trees and returning to her pursuit of Orihime, when this man appears from nowhere. He's not human. His aura is somewhat oppressive and Ginshu watches him slowly approach. When he gets within range, she extends her arm as she had done with the girl; partially detaching it at the elbow, reaching for this... daemon?... to tear into him. He's in her way.]

[subconmodo]

[He grabs for her wrist to hold it away from himself. It's a temporary measure--he's always preferred magic and surprise to a physical fight--but he only needs a moment.]

You know, I should thank you. But it's not like it'll matter in about five seconds, so I won't.

[Avery extends his hand, his face swallowed up by shadow as he reaches out for that tainted, oily soul and yanks.]

[yokeye]

[She tilts her head in confusion at the shadow form. She growls as he seems to try and take something from her... did she have a soul to take? Was she only a soul? In truth, she didn't know. But it hurts and she is angry. With a screech, she pulls herself free of the fallen trees; whatever the daemon has hold of tearing in his grasp. She's gone in an instant, her mission only temporarily interrupted.]

[subconmodo]

[He tries to keep hold, but Ginshu is already running, and he's left with a small chunk of a prize for his efforts.]

Darn.

[This was why you weren't supposed to pay with your food, wasn't it?]

Whatever! I'll take it!

[And he's all smiles and pride as he return s to human form and walks back to where Orihime is, popping the piece of soul into his mouth and swallowing on the way.]

[It tastes like greasy, dirty cardboard, and he swears it clings to his throat. It's all he can do to suppress a gag.]

Ugh...

[spelleton]

[ Oh right, someone else was supposed to show up. Ekkehardt has arrived with his usual lack of announcement, and finds a less pressing but still concerning situation to deal with. ]

[ He can certainly see the evidence of a ghost having been caught even if it's no longer there, so. Things seem to have turned out...mostly fine? ]

Miss Inoue, I'm glad to see you're in good health. Mr Rikugou was quite worried about you, to say the least.

[ He carefully leaves out the screaming and the crying and the fact he left Toki in the hallway to go look for Orihime, yep. ]

[ And then he just looks over at Avery because he can see the curse on you, what did you do. ]

...Mr Atchison, I hate to ask [ he's dreading the answer ] but what have you done to yourself? [ He just sounds kind of resigned. ]

[subconmodo]

I didn't do anything. All I did was help out one of my students. And reward myself with a little snack.

[He seems confident, hands on his hips and all, but he's also starting to look a little green. Whatever had been done to that soul is not settling well in the slightest.]

[leekspins]

Stop! You can't--!

[She's too late to stop Avery from tearing into Ginshu. And when he eats that piece, she feels sick to her stomach. What...why did he do that...? What if it really was Toki's sister? Orihime holds a hand over her mouth, horrified, pale as bone.]

[She's a little glad the ghost got away. It doesn't make her feel great, it will probably come after Toki again, but better than being devoured while helpless.]

[Her head jerks around in startled shock when Ekkehardt arrives, just before she breathes a sigh of relief.]

Is he okay? I probably scared him.
