#Shinji's gonna be so confused when Ichigo calls him Uncle Shi- omg :DDDDD

The shorter woman looked at him and frowned, "I know, but restin' so ya got the energy t' get to the shop's good too ya know." However, she didn't know his pace. "But if ya think ya coul' get there... we can keep goin, but go at a slower pace."

Maybe there was some tea that'd help with the pain there too... she really needed to go read into that. The only teas she read into were the ones that helped her feel better while pregnant.

Ichigo slowly hunched in on himself as she continued staring, looking away.     He wasn't able to meet her eyes....

❝The faster we get there, the faster I can sit down and rest, Aya.❞ He argued softly.

It was easier for him to keep going through the pain, than to stop and rest. So this was, in fact, making it harder for him to get to this unknown shop on his own two feet.
