Cold To The Touch [Private/Fryst]

Fryst was running late, more than late, thanks to that stupid traffic jam from the road running into town. The clip clop of her heels on the pavement rattled down the sidewalk that ran along the street on the outter limit's of karakura town. Stupid Alex, she saved his life and all he did in return was make her late for her rehersal! Her regular blonde braid bounced on her shoulder as she ran, or jogged.. well pranced was more like it. Running in heels was difficult even for her, and at the end of the day she was still wearing that same stylish high dollar mid thigh pencil skirt and a fashionable and yet expensive white button up. Her crystal blue eyes looking around the basically empty street for a cab, not seeing the poor man in front of her who had just turned towards her clip clopping.


"Nyaahh!"


She let out in surprise as she would collide with the poor man. Falling back on her rump, knees pushed together  she rubbed her forehead and nose which is the main part of her face that would have collided with his chest and chin, she was only five foot three inches tall after all. Thank the gods she was in her human flesh technique.. otherwise she may have slammed into him and sent him flying.. stupid cabs always driving into traffic jams. She looked up slowly to where ever the man had ended up, her voice cutely inflecting.


"I-I'm sorry sir.. you aren't hurt are you?"


Her crystal blue eyes landing to look into his intense ones.

She sighs looking over at her phone and hitting the button after he asked what she was doing out near the brink of night. Could a girl not walk around these days? she always got that line, asking what she was doing out here.. this guy was probably the fourth person that had a reiatsu that had ask- she had a sharp intake of breath for a moment.. crap he had a reiatsu.. it was quincy like Liam's but different. But she put on a brave smile, her face lighting up.


"Well I was trying to make it to a rehersal in time but.. the traffic coming into town got a little dicey. I tried to run there but ehhh that is sorta pointless since it is across town."


She sighed, well at least she had told the truth, she really had been trying to get there but it was pointless now. She couldn't use sonido to get nearer without tipping off this nice man. Even then the spiritual inhabitants of the city had always intruiged her, she had lived here for nine months and only seen a few of them more than once there were so many.  She eventually took his hand and stood up dusting herself off looking around, it was getting dark, crap. she looked around and shivered a little bit.


"Guess I'll just go home or maybe for some coffee or something. Would...."


She paused for a moment hesitating, it was a little odd. It wasn't like she couldn't take care of herself, but she was a normal girl after all. Walking to somewhere on the edges of town alone.. eh made her shiver to think of the possibilities of having to kill some human male that got any perverted ideas. So she sucked it up and asked.


"This may be a little suden but would you mind walking me to a coffee shop I know nearby? Honestly I wasn't thinking and well a girl shouldn't be walking alone at night on these outskirts. You seem nice enough not to try and take advantage of the situation.. wow that came out wrong.. umm.. I'll even pay for your help?"


She internally rolled her eyes at herself, stupid shy bashful Fryst.. always making things awkward.

Fryst blinked and blushed, embarassed she hadn't thought to introduce herself before asking the stranger to walk her to the coffee shop she stuttered for a moment, her own mind turning to why he had attempted to reign in his reiatsu, perhaps he was suspicious?

"Umm F-fryst, Fryst Dronning. Sorry that was rude of me not to even introduce myself before asking this of you."

She finished talking as they arrived at the coffee shop, or rather in front of it and she smiled at the lovely aroma of the treats inside.

"Umm do you want to.. have some coffee with me while I wait on a cab to take me home? I'll buy... erm.. what was your name again I'm sorry?"

She had a small tinge of a blush on her cheeks now as it looked like she was doing something she would never normally do, but he had a pleasent aura around him. Quincy or no it was nice to have someone to talk to and not be one of those drones stuck in a phone. She motioned inside the shop with a shrug as if to express physically her question with a smile.

She smiled back at him as he let her go first seeming yo have agreed to at least have some coffee on her.  She gave the older lady behind the counter a cute little wave.

"Hi hi Taki-chan! I'll have my regular and ummm..."

She looked back at her new companion tilting her head and tapping her chin as she considered what she should suggest for him. Hmmm something sweet so.. ooo yes that sounded good.

"He'll have the ginger bread cappucinno!"

She gave a little giggle and opened her little clasp wallter she retrieved from her pocket and gave the appropriate yne amount with a few hundred extra for Taki holding up her hand and shaking her head to tell Taki to keep it. The older lady scowled at her but kept the money as Fryst gave another little giggle and made her way over to a small table for two by the window so she could look out.

"I hope you like sweet stuff Abel-san, because I got you the best one, it has a lot of caffine in it too soooo, sorry in advanced."

She did a little apologetic bow of her head towards the man,

Fryst sighed, she knew why he was saying that. She did have an idea, the second someone found out what she was they always acted fearful, especially as powerful as she was. She was the strongest Arrancar she knew about still living. There had been Stark-kun but he died in Aizen's stupid frivolous war. So she took a sip of her drink smiling at it's taste she said it almost non chalantly, a little cute bounce in her voice.

"Ya I know, you Quincy's have a real tough time making friends..."

She let that just sit there for a moment to see what he would say, she wouldn't tell him what she was, not yet anyways. She could hide it just as easily as she needed to after all, just pose as a spiritually gifted human. After a moment she gave a little innocent giggle. 

"I didn't want you to think I was outright lying to you or something but I could tell ya know? You don't have to be scared or anything.. I'm a nice girl after all.. or I like to think I am.."

She shrugged while looking at him with her bright crystal blue eyes, slurping from her straw for a moment.

"Really I can just see and sense ghosts and things.. sorta. Lets just leave it at that for now okay?"

She gave him a kind and yet pleading look.

She smiled at him, his reaction was not what she was expecting, but it was a pleasant surprise. At least he was nice about it and curious. She gave him another smile and nodded. 

"I have, and it went very well. Given his short fallings of being a pervert Liam-kun is nice, if not a little unorthodox. I would count him among my friends without a doubt hehe."

She watched her companions face closely for reactions to her giggles and words, she was enjoying herself. She liked meeting new people and whatnot, they just normally didn't like her. Or rather what she was, given her overwhelming strength they tended to side with fear more than anything else, she still remembered how raidens face looked when he attacked her friend and she had to hurt him. The things she had done to him were in sufferable, but she, at that time, had lost control of her emotions, froze a city block solid, ripped off his arm and fed it to her hollow protector.. ya she shouldn't revisit those memories. She was not proud of them and niether was that her personality.

"You guys should really get out more, I think you are really cool, the items you make and the bows and everything, they are pretty."

She smiled at him hoping her honest compliments hit their mark.

She giggled, at his repeating of her name for Liam, he was a pervert always hitting on her and whatnot, so lude. But at his heart he was a good guy and she respected that, it allowed her to see a different side of him than just the side that she had to slap into the dirt a few times. She was surprised to hear he didn't use a bow though, was that even possible? Was he even a quincy then? Apparently so.

"The Vanderwhata? I don't know.. I never thought to ask him about if he belonged to the..whatever you called it.. is it like some cool club for just you quincies?"

She blinked at him curiously. She was honestly wondering what that was now, was it some sorta like quincy royal family? Maybe like a shinigami haters club? Or maybe they just stuck together as a group like the shinigami did because there wen't that many.. the quincy not the shinigami. Hmmm soo many questions, yet she didn't wanna be rude or prying at the same time. Her face however spelled her excitment and curiousity all over it.

She sighed as he seemed to get serious and shut down her questions. She puffed out her cheeks in a cute show of annoyance. She would totally understand if he took the time to explain it to her! She wasn't some idiot! Furrowing her brow, then he started talking about how it was wierd how she invited him out to coffee knowing what he was, and he seemed to be getting suspicious which made her feel really bad and guilty. His last words made her feel like she had trapped him into this knowing what he was and she frowned. She sighed speaking,

"They aren't powers they are a curse really, no one who learns about them ever wants to stay close to me. So I don't have any powers no... I have this stupid curse on me... but if you really want to see them I guess it's not fair that I know about you, and you don't know about me..."

She looked up at him sadly now, having thought about it, she had been manipulating him a little bit and the more she realized this the worse she felt. Frowning some more she sighed.

"How about this, we'll go for a walk and I'll show at the park across the street okay, Taki-chan would have  heart attack if something happened in here okay.. and .. and you might not like me afterwards. But if I show you this you have to tell me what the Vandersomethings is okay?"

She looked up at him pleading hoping he would say it wasn't necessary. This was the last thing she wanted to happen, her and her stupid mouth always getting her in trouble.

She stood up taking her cup with her smiling at Taki-chan and giving a little wave, the poor old woman giving fryst the thumbs up since this was the first guy she had even seen fryst with. Fryst blushed and just shook her head with a little giggle as they walked out, leading the way towards the park. She walked a little ways into it and gave him a smile.

"Okay Abel-san, here goes you might wanna.. take a few steps back though.." 

She took a deep breath, this was gonna be bad since she hadn't unleashed her power in a long time. She frowned rolling her head for a moment and then her skin, her very skin began to dissapate. It began turning into hundreds, no thousands of snow flakes floating off of her body, beneath it revealing.. nothing but more skin, the only changes seeming to be her clothing, an elegant blue dress with a sheer cape coming off of it, a bone tiara all that was left of her mask would appear just in the front of her hairline. The most noticable change would be her hollow hole, about the size of a baseball, above her navel but below her breasts, centered.

She would turn to face him with a look for a moment mouthing something.

"I'm sorry"

Just then as the last of the snowflakes left her body a massive force flowed out from her sending out a shockwave of power. Her reiatsu flooded the area, everything below her feet and in the area of the park in a fifty meter radius around her frosted over. It sat there for a good long moment as she decided what to do. After that moment was up she took a deep breath condensing her massive reiatsu back onto herself and about a foot area around her. Leaving the ground around them frosted heavily. Her voice was hopeful and cheery.

"So umm... this is the real me..."
