Even raised his eyebrows at the look the stranger gave him.
He was being evaluated, he knew. Assessed, weighed, considered. It felt rather like he was being measured up for a coffin by an overzealous undertaker. He knew the look well, because he had given people that look, back before he was a scientific anomaly on a strange world.
He scowled at being referred to as a 'specimen'. Even Szayel hadn't been that indelicate. The laboratory coat gave away the man's profession, the way he looked at him revealed his specialisation. He too, to Even's reckoning, was a "biologist". He was very likely the other scientist that Szayel had mentioned, Hojo.
"And you are?" He asked, just to make sure.
He didn't think it likely that this man was responsible for the Arrancar. Szayel had said that his employer was less interested in the actual science, so the probability of him wearing a laboratory coat was rather slim.
