He just shrugged at the question after Frau answered it. The man was annoying as hell, but Hitsugaya didn't hate him or anything. Why put Hinamori on edge more than he had to?

"It's fine." But they were getting off subject. He wasn't deliberately trying to avoid conversation, but hey. He'd showed up for a reason -- even if part of that reason was just to spend more time with Hinamori. "As I was saying: find anything yet? If so, I might as well be the one to bring it back for you; hell knows you'd probably be clumsy with it and break something on your own."

There was no anger or irritation in his tone; particularly percptive people would recognize that he was teasing. His overall posture was more relaxed than what Frau would have become accustomed to seeing. Hitsugaya was just unconsciously more at ease in mundane situations when Hinamori was around.
