It was perhaps fortunate that Hanatarou had already lost his appetite, considering that he didn't think he'd be able to eat anything with Gin sitting right there. He clasped his hands tightly together under the table in an attempt to keep them from shaking (or at least hiding it) and gave the other shinigami a puzzled look.

"I...guess so?" What could he possibly be getting at? Hanatarou himself was just grateful that Gin's attempt to declare himself the new leader hadn't gone anywhere. "We're being, um, c-careful. Last night was the first time we saw anything dangerous."
