Gin approached the ballroom on silent feet, suppressing his reiatsu to the point where it wouldn't be felt beyond those already gathered. It was lost in the noise, like the delicate sound of a pin dropping to the floor at a Blitzball match.
He stood in the doorway, not obscured, but not the centre of attention. He was good at that. He smiled at Arc's declaration, a response to L's question. To his credit, his voice didn't shake. Of course it had been L that had pressed him. Some of the others didn't know him, some of them wouldn't care, but L... Aizen's son being there, apparently uninvited ... L wouldn't have been able to resist sticking his oar in. It gave Gin the warm fuzzies, especially when he questioned Arc further.
That was when Gin stepped forward, hands hidden in the opposite sleeves, a smile cutting across his face like the fixed grin of a midgardsormr raised up to strike. If Arc had just stepped into a viper's nest, he didn't have much to worry about. The biggest snake in the writhing, venomous ball of hissing monsters was reared up behind him, tail rattling enough to warn the others off.
"Oh," Gin said, speaking just loud enough to be heard over the sound of his own footsteps. "That'd be me."
