Every one seemed to be a little down, as they sat in the dark, kurama looked strangely flustered. Maybe he was arguing with his zanpakuto, that wasn't an uncommon thing for Jensen and celestia although she was currently very quite. Well he would try and keep the mood light, and figure out the riddle at the same time. "Ok so we bring the goose over first, then go back and get the.... grain...." he stopped to think about it, parius wasn't going to be much help, he didn't seem interested, and Captain riku clearly knew the answer. So it was up to him, or... "If I leave the grain on the other bank.. and go back for the fox.. Can i take the goose back with me?" He asked, Kurama. "If so, this riddle is over." He waited patiently for his reply and sipped his water.

Riku nodded to Kurama, hearing what was said. So this Jun guy was similar looking to him. Hearing it from his own vice-captain was different than some rogue arrancar. It was really quite odd. He just hoped he had the free time soon to meet this challenge. Riku smiled at Jenson's answer so far. "Guess it wasn't that hard for ya. Yes indeed, the goose can be taken back." He looked back at Parius. And decided to risk it. "My father said to me before I passed on to Soul Society, "The right way to go is your own way to go." I don't know the circumstances, and motivations to becoming a shinigami varies, and this is just my guess as you actually knew him, but could it be that he wanted to become a shinigami to protect someone or many people? I literally went out with a bang, protecting my own younger siblings, and I wouldn't have it any other way. And that Lee person is a very smart man, you should enjoy the little things in life..."

Riku thought back to the days after his mother's passing, taking out his pendant and staring at it. His family's huge debt. School work. Patrolling his neighborhood. Taking care of his eight younger siblings and an overworked father. Working two, sometimes three part time jobs just to pay the bills. But he enjoyed every minute with this siblings and friends, even if those friends were all delinquints and he learned some...rather...illegal...skills from them...He found himself smiling nostalgically before putting the pendant away...

(Ok here is a personality game to get to know other characters more deeply; this isn’t a game of winning; if you don’t wish to play state skip.XD)
The walk around the room was calmed down Kurama greatly; upon hearing Jensen’s response he forced himself to chuckle as he spoke. “You’re quite the odd one.” He commented to let Jensen ponder on what he meant by that; He knew his captain was good at these things, but seeing as Jensen always seems to amaze him he had to give him the comment while Riku spoke to Parius. Rose refused to comment this time since he seemed to have calmed down a bit.

Looking back at his captain he was about to say something when he caught sight of him fiddling with his pendent. Finding himself back in dream land; he thought that his captain looked so cute when he did that and especially when he smiled. A thought crossed his mind as he had always been fond of his friends, but he didn’t really know too much about them. It would be a bit queer or awkward if he just went up and asked each of them and so another game came to his mind where he could find out more information about his friends and his dear captain.

“Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back; stating this I think we should play yet another game to pass the time. We all must say three things about ourselves stating two truths and one lie; the game is to find the lie and as soon as we all get a turn the game is over unless you’d like to do another round. I’ll go first to show an example on how to play: I’m very fond of food, I was rejected from squad 12 and I like walking around barefooted yet something I said is a lie.” He said giving them a trick within the game for just because he walks around barefooted doesn’t quite mean he likes it.

Upon hearing their responses he would smile and respond explaining all three of them. “I honestly am not very fond of food, I only eat to live and there for the first one was a lie. I was rejected from squad 12 on the fact that when I was doing the squad exam, I had decided to experiment on myself and in doing so I ended up looking like this.” He said pointing out his animal like features as his tail would sway back and forth. “I never had these when I was human you know. I also enjoy walking around without shoes, in my opinion they are quite bothersome and on top of that they don’t really allow me to use my full agility.” He said taking a seat next to him and waited for the next person to start; he loved being near his captain, the scent he had attracted his senses and it was quite tempting to comment on it which he didn’t.
