Ichigo studies Sengo for a moment longer, before deciding to give him the benefit of the doubt, for now, that the piggyback rides are really just that. Tonbokiri did warn him that Sengo tends to say or do things that may be misconstrued after all...

"I see. I suppose I should thank you for keeping them entertained then."

Ichigo waits to make sure Sengo really is coming along before turning to lead the way. "I do hope so. This is certainly the first time I've ever encountered such irresponsible troops."
