Their trip to the edge of Shutara Senjumaru's floating disc is pretty uneventful, though Ichigo thinks that the Soul King's reiatsu is purposefully guiding him around anything that might be an obstacle on purpose, such as the numerous soldiers milling about and even the members of the Zero Division themselves. It's almost like the Soul King doesn't want anyone to interfere, but as he looks up at the cylindrical structure that is the Greater Soul King Palace, he wonders at how they'll reach it. He's been catapulted everywhere up here so far, and though the discs of the Zero Division are closer than the approach was, the Palace itself is still a ways off and quite a ways up.
"So, how exactly are we supposed t' get up there?" White Zangetsu asks from his left.
"As far as I'm aware, we can only get up there by being catapulted," he answers, his mouth twisting with a scowl, and he folds his arms over his chest. "Dunno why it has to be that, but Kirinji-san said it was the only way to get around up here."
"Then Kirinji-san an' th' rest of them Zero Division shinigami're all batshit insane," White Zangetsu grouses, and then the next thing Ichigo knows is that he's being picked up, in a princess carry no less.
The noise that he makes is rather undignified, and he immediately clings to White Zangetsu, seeing as they are precariously close to the edge of the disc and he can very well plummet to his death if he's dropped, not that he thinks White Zangetsu will purposefully drop him now, but it's a very real fear he has right this very moment. "White! What the hell are you doing?!"
"Well, it's pretty obvious tha' I'm carryin' ya, Ichigo," White Zangetsu answers him with a mirthful grin. "An' I'm gonna carry ya t' th' Palace, so make sure yer holdin' on t' me nice an' tight." And with that serving as his only warning, White Zangetsu leaps up towards the Palace.
Ichigo squeezes his eyes shut and presses the right side of his face into White Zangetsu's shoulder, and waits for the sensation of falling to take over. When it doesn't, and it seems like they're still moving upwards, he slowly opens an eye, and then the other, before he shifts his head to peer over White Zangetsu's shoulder. At least he tries to, only he doesn't seem to be able to turn his head towards the right past a certain point and-
"Careful with tha' horn of yers, Ichigo, it's sharp," White Zangetsu says in a low tone, and Ichigo flushes with the realization that he is still in his hollowfied form and that his horn is digging into White Zangetsu's neck.
"Sorry!" he squeaks out, adding to his mortification, and he decides to bury his face, or most of it, into the crook of White Zangetsu's neck, his head angled enough so that his horn and its sharp edges aren't in danger of cutting his Zanpakutō Spirit. "I forgot I was in this form."
White Zangetsu gives a low and throaty chuckle in response, and then he nuzzles the top of Ichigo's head with his jaw. It actually feels kind of nice. "It really suits ya."
"You're probably the only person who thinks that," Ichigo quietly says, content to keep his face pressed against White Zangetsu's neck. "And I'm pretty sure you're biased when it comes to this sort of thing."
"Well, so far, I'm th' only person who's seen ya like this, so yer right 'bout tha'," White Zangetsu responds in quite the casual tone. "An' as fer me bein' biased when it comes to this, I can assure ya tha' yer wrong."
"You're my Zanpakutō and my hollow, so how in the hell are you not biased?"
"'Cause I have standards, and if ya looked anythin' like tha' damn Cero Espada or like some of the weirder shit we've seen, I wouldn't have complimented ya," White Zangetsu explains, and Ichigo huffs.
"Well, considering my hollowfied form is based off of you and your mask, it'd have been your fault if I looked weird," Ichigo retorts, and he pulls back enough to give White Zangetsu a flat look. "So I'm pretty sure that makes you biased."
White Zangetsu smirks at him, his irises glinting, and then he nods towards the direction they're going. "We're almost there," he says, and Ichigo is pretty sure that he is trying to change the subject of their conversation.
Mouth twisting with a frown, Ichigo narrows his eyes and stares at White Zangetsu for several beats before he finally looks at the Palace. They're a lot closer to it than he thought they'd be, and if their trajectory is correct, then it seems like they'll make it. It looks like it's going to be a close call, though, and if they miss, then it's a drop to their deaths unless White Zangetsu has some other trick up his sleeve. "So, how did you know you could make this jump?"
"Oh, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't a been able t' make this kind of jump on my own," White Zangetsu informs him, and he looks back at his Zanpakutō Spirit in surprise. "But I figured tha' since th' Soul King wants t' see ya then he'd give me th' boost I needed t' get ya there."
Ichigo inhales sharply, then promptly closes his eyes as he brings up a hand to rub at his face in disbelief. "You're insane."
"Well, ya can thank Aizen an' geta-bōshi fer that, as well as tha' name stealin' Quincy fucker livin' in yer head," White Zangetsu says, but there's no real heat to his voice until he mentions the other part of Ichigo's powers. It's enough that Ichigo drops his hand and opens his eyes to look at White Zangetsu again.
"You really don't like Ossan, huh?" Ichigo asks even though he already knows the answer, and White Zangetsu side eyes him. "Look, I get it. I don't like any of what he did either, but he's a part of me too, and while I don't expect you to get along with him, we do have to work together."
"I can do that much," White Zangetsu acquiesces, his tone just a touch petulant, right as they make it to one of the lower openings—because they're not really doors—carved into the Palace's curved side.
