At her soft thanks, Byakuya regarded her for a moment and inclined his head to acknowledge her words... He did not say you're welcome but he did not need to. He also did not need to ask why she was thanking him. While he might be a little surprised that she had any memory of the events that followed the Hollow's attack, he had seen her look in his direction right after he said the release command for his zanpakuto. The moment between them lasted only a measure of a scant few heart beats, but it was noted by at least one of the other people in the room.

She made her way to the table and sat at the empty spot the man in the hat gestured to. It put her between that man and the one who had saved her. Uruhara smiled. "Now, that wasn't so hard was it?" He asks with a light chuckle. Whether he meant her joining them for lunch or something else was impossible to discern. "Now then, what shall we call you?" He inquires as he looks at the girl.

"Oh... forgive me for not introducing myself sooner... I am Erisia Nakayama." She says in that soft voice of hers.

Uruhara smiles one of his disarming smiles. "Do not worry yourself over it. Erisia, my such a unique and lovely name. I am Kisuke Uruhara and this is my shop." He begins he then proceeds to introduce her to the other people seated at the table. He continued throughout lunch to make small talk while they ate. Weightier topics could keep until after lunch.

The girl would need to eat after what all she had endured. It would help her body sort out what healing alone could not. While they ate and made polite conversation, he observed her. He was a scientist and could not help but go into a half scientific mindset at the very least whenever something new was presented to him. As he observed, he found himself amused. Erisia carried herself in a similar way to how Byakuya comported himself... The only real difference between the two was that Erisia left room for softness and warmth where as Byakuya came across as a colder sort. But it was amusing nonetheless. Both proper, both with a more regal bearing... But he kept the observation to himself.

Once lunch was finished and the table cleared, he focused his attention on her once more. He knew the mission that Byakuya had been given and while he was sure the noble Captain would like to conduct the inquiry himself, he didn't see any harm in opening the door. "So tell us, Erisia do you remember anything that happened last night?" Uruhara inquires.

Erisia looked down for a moment as the question was posed. The panther had told her they would have questions... it had told her to have no fear and to answer to the best of her abilities. "I remember some things... though I find myself questioning what I remember." She admits.

"Why do you question it?" Uruhara asks.

"What I remember should not be real, should not be possible...at least not logically."

"Well, tell us anyway and perhaps we can set things right for you." Uruhara coaxes.

Erisia nods in acquiescence and begins to tell what she could remember. She feels slightly uncomfortable under the weight of so many eyes... Uruhara was a little surprised that she was being so forthcoming with the information. Though it obviously bothered her, she shared it freely... Curious indeed.

"Why did you draw the monster you saw to chase after you?" Comes the cool voice of Captain Kuchiki. Oh he'd returned into full work mode, not that his non working mentality was really any different but there seemed to be a greater weight of it all around him when he was distinctly in work mode.

"There were children nearing the area where the... Hollow was going to drop.... I could not let it attack them." She answers.

Several pairs of eyes were blinking at her when she used the term Hollow. "How is it you know that term... Hollow?"

She looks down again. "The shadow panther told it to me. Is it wrong?"

Uruhara smiled, trying to put the girl at ease once more. "No, it is not wrong. Tell us more about this shadow panther." He coaxes.

"I do not know much I am afraid. While I have often felt that there was something... watching over me I never before saw it. Last night, I dreamt the strangest things... A world of shadows and this purring voice came from them and finally a feline shaped shadow separated from the mass of darkness behind it and this panther spoke with me. It told me that you would have questions and that I should not be afraid. That I should answer truthfully." She explains.

Uruhara, Byakuya and Tessai were all pondering the meaning of this. It was quite strange, though with the information they had from Byakuya's brief experience they had a few more puzzle pieces but was the picture they fit into what they thought it was? Ururu and Jinta had excused themselves to be elsewhere. Erisia felt a little nervous being left with the three men but she pushed it aside.

"Does this shadow panther have a name?" Byakuya inquires.

"It would not tell me its name. It said that it was not yet time for me to know. It also said that I was not yet ready to hear it's name." She did not look at them as she spoke, her gaze was fixed upon a random spot on the table... They were all quiet for a few moments as they thought about what the meaning of all this was... Though Erisia was more silent due to confusion and nerves than her thoughts, that was neither here nor there.
