The body of Ferus would turn completely the face the new Hollow, and with the relaxing of his tail the pole would slip from his grip and drop onto the pavement. Leaning forward, closed fists were pressed into the ground as he lowered himself to all fours in order to relax and display a neutral demeanor. Ferus wasn't one to harm other Hollows unless they gave him reason to, and this one actually proved to be helpful, so unless something took a turn for the worst he didn't plan on harming this one. Beastly eyes watched the obviously younger Hollow closely. He was interesting to say the least. He seemed hesitant, and above all else he looked as if he was confused, and then as if to confirm his thoughts he posed Ferus a question.
"Heh. I wouldn't call us people, my boy. They call us Hollows, and yes, there are..others, like us.."
The Hollow chuckled a bit before carrying on with his sentence,
"No need to act like you don't feel the hunger. Eat up, and we'll talk some more."

Vacio' looked down at the body before him, then back up at the older Hollow, then back to the body again. Obviously, his colleague knew about the conflict that was currently raging within his psyche.
Unfortunately, he was right. Vacio' struggled to grasp hold of the quickly fading humanity that he possessed, but as he stared at the corpse he felt it begin to slip away completely. His old life it seemed was over, forever. A new one was beginning. So why hesitate? That thought in mind, Vacio shrugged, a massive movement of the shoulders, and with a throaty growl began to ravish the body (no raep.), tearing it to shreds in his bestial attempt to claim it's soul.
But even as he ate, the gravity of his actions still gnawed at him. I wouldn't call us people, my boy. They call us Hollows...
Hollow.
Somewhat fitting, Vacio thought, for a creature such as himself. A Hollow... empty inside. Soulless.
Vacio' finished consuming the soul and stood up to his full height once more.
"I feel like a naive child, I don't know anything about any of this..." Vacio looked around the area. People were beginning to arrive on the area once they felt confident that shit wouldn't start randomly exploding again.
"Can they see us?" Vacio' asked, gesturing to the crowd.

The hesitance and confusion displayed by the Hollow before him gave Ferus the assumption he was a very young Hollow. Ferus, who had been around for a long time, had gotten used to the Hollow way of life and had forgotten what it had been like for him at first. Completely forgetting your past life and being reborn as a Hollow was difficult enough without that ever lingering hunger. Was it because Hollows didn't have souls of their own that they hungered so badly for them? Was there a purpose to this mass-consumption of other beings? Ferus had to admit he did feel a bit different after consuming the powerful soul of the shinigami, but what did it mean? Was this their way of growing? Ferus didn't look past the idea, but he also decided to end his train of thought there for the time being. For now, his attention would be focused on the young Hollow; crimson eyes watching in amusement as he devoured the soul of the boy.
"Eating souls helps hide the hunger, but not for very long. Depends on how strong the person was, I suppose.."
His voice was rough and loud as he spoke, but when he was posed with more words he took a moment to collect his thoughts before speaking again,
"I don't think any of us know anything when we first start out. You should be happy you at least kept your intelligence, some Hollows don't seem to have any capacity for thought.."
Eye shifted to his side at the end of his sentence; locking onto the crowd of humans the younger Hollow had gestured towards. Mouth spread out into a grin and he chuckled lightly under his breath. The look of horror and shock on their faces was most amusing, and the fact they were oblivious to the two colossal creatures standing amongst them was even funnier to him. For whatever reason, it seemed only special individuals were capable of seeing Hollows, it was as it they were invisible to everything else.
"No. Only ones with powers can see us."
He spoke slowly; his attention still towards the flock of confused and scared humans. Within an instant, Ferus' reiatsu would spike and gather amongst one of his hands,
"I imagine that boy wasn't very..filling.."
It would be obvious what his intentions were, but alas it was for the younger Hollow's benefit, and thus it was really up to him.

The young Hollow wasn't very responsive, and Ferus had better things to be doing at this time. With that, the pent up reiatsu would be released in a violent wave due to a swing of his arm. A blade composed of sound sped forth, and just as quick as it came it was gone far into the distance. The crescent-shaped gathering of sound would literally carve through every individual that stood in its path; effectively killing them in an instant with relative ease and quietness. The Humans didn't stand a chance, and their blood squirted upwards in a fine mist.
"See you around.."
Ferus spoke to the young Hollow without turning to face him,
"..The name is Ferus"
A flicker accompanied by static would announce his departure. /exit

Vacio' stared at "Ferus" as he took his leave. Vacio had at first hesitated when the older Hollow had invited him to join in on attacking the humans. But, now, that hesitation was replaced by a silent sense of intimidation. Fear was not something that Vacio's Hollow mind could fully experience, not anymore, but he felt the closest thing to it, upon seeing Ferus' nonchalant slaughter of the humans. He said nothing as the older Hollow left, leaving Vacio' to speculate on his future amidst the scene of destruction that surrounded him.
Vacio' sat amongst the gore and silently contemplated the new revelations that ahd been brought upon him; or rather, he tried to. Rational thought was almost beyond his mental capabilities, seeing Ferus' brutality toward the humans had sharpened his hunger to a point that he could no longer ignore, and it was beginning to distract him from all other coherent thoughts.
With a massive shrug of his shoulders, Vacio' would also take his leave, but not before taking pains to scarf down every one of the deceased humans' souls that Ferus had so graciously left for him. With every bite Vacio' felt a wave of satisfaction flow through his insides. He could certainly get used to devouring souls..
And he needed more. The dozen or so he'd ingested wasn't nearly enough to sate him. With a growl of hunger, the young Hollow stalked off, searching for the next biggest cluster of people he could find...
