medicine man, i'll lay my head in your hands; medicine man, you will clear my mind

Shrugging off her heavy winter coat, Nuriko stands in the middle of the back room to Urahara Kisuke's cat café, giving the nearest feline a suspicious look as it lingers a few paces away. To the side, a seat has been prepared with treats and sweets for Robin, who seems to be examining the contents of his plate with interest, though Nuriko suspects that he's still keeping his ears trained on herself and the shopkeeper, as per his agreement. His presence relaxes Nuriko, allowing her to follow Urahara's steps as he enters the room with careful confidence.

She has very little idea what to expect, but budgeted for the time just in case. As far as Rin knows, she's out running errands all night for the restaurant, only available by phone, and likely only to return until morning.

"So... it feels to me like there are two options. Either I stay in my body, which will let you examine whether or not it acts and behaves like a regular human body, or I step outside of it so that you can see the stone it will revert to," Nuriko says, folding her coat over her arm and resting her hands in front of her person. "Is there something I'm forgetting? What do you want me to do first."

Her hands tighten against the folds of her coat, and Nuriko bites down on her lower lip, looking slightly apprehensive.

Enterting with little more than the slide of a door and the flutter of his loose robe, Kisuke looks between the two, eyeing first the individual with the sweet tooth and the curly hair whom Nuriko had identified as boss -- and finding him little threat, or little reason to make him threaten -- he focuses his attentions on Nuriko.

He dips his head low again, although he'd already done so more than once in deference to her good grace for showing up at all.

"I want you to answer some questions before I look at anything. Please. Rather than examining how that body of yours works and in what detail, why don't you just tell me in your own words? No need to go into gross detail. I've no intention of taking away your dignity. So your own words. Those will do nicely. And please, relax. Can I get you anything for your nerves?"

Kisuke folds a hand across his bared chest. She's so nervous she's practically making him nervous. He can't blame her. But it doesn't make this easier for either of them.
