Ichigo's eyes suddenly narrowed, practically exuding a sense of skepticism. He certainly appreciated the offer to share Alfons' food, but it was hard to concentrate on his stomach when his new acquaintance acted so stubbornly on other matters.

"Er...you're welcome, I guess..." he replied, watching Alfons with a sharp, piercing stare. Something about this guy, Ichigo mused, didn't seem to add up; everyone else, after being magically whisked away to this strange and awful place, seemed to be a bit more accepting of the monster element. This guy, however, seemed to be siding with the house 'no such thing' policy.

"So, have you talked to anybody else around here? Maybe they mentioned the same sort of thing I have?" If he knew that everyone else had the same story, but still didn't believe, Ichigo felt his suspicions would be confirmed.
