That wary look makes Shiro frown, tilting his head. He traces his claws around Ichigo's face, humming a little thoughtfully. The idea of the flawed Soul Chain flows into his mind and some part of him agrees that it might be a bad idea. Something bad could happen.
Or nothing could happen.
That was the problem with that kink in the chain. Sometimes it affected things, sometimes it didn't. It was seemingly random. The Hollow gives a growl, annoyed. But then he smiles again, trying to be comforting, running his claws across Ichigo's cheek, careful not to cut him.
If something bad happens, I'll fix it. The smile fades to a frown, though, and Shiro looks down, But if ya really don't wanna... I won't force it.
Not that he could, anyway. Ichigo's will was too strong. He couldn't force the transformation on him even if he wanted to. That was evidenced by all the times Ichigo had come back from the brink, from a dark place that no other soul ever had a chance of returning from. It didn't really matter how strong Shiro was, or weakened Ichigo was... his will was always dominant, in the end.
