Cough 041 - [Accidental Video]
[The feed flickers on and shows a familiar countertop and a familiar white-haired man, though his haori is nowhere to be seen. Ukitake once explained how to make ochazuke with hand gestures in that same kitchen. This time, however, there is a tea cup and steaming kettle and Ukitake slowly pours the water into the cup. He doesn't look too happy like he usually does though, and coupled with that melancholy is something else-
A very familiar cough.
The kettle is set down loudly on the counter as his free hand covers his mouth, the coughs violently shaking his body. They last for a few seconds, painful rasping sounds, and eventually thin lines of red stream through his fingers. As the coughing subsides, he pulls his hand away from his face and wipes his bloody lips with the side of his already stained hand.
Leaning against the counter, he tentatively takes a deep breath, fortunate that his lungs give him that much of a respite. Of course, everyone who knows Ukitake also knows that respite is rare and won't last long.]

[Delicious Japanese goodness. And his favorite thing to eat.]

Maybe if you took better care of yourself, you wouldn't have to be.
[He might mess it up the first couple of times, but he'll try his best.]

[Oh, well, damn. Here comes another bout of coughing. Don't mind him, Cloud. He's just gonna turn that pretty white rag red.
Also, he'd probably still eat the ochazuke attempts. There's really very few things he wouldn't.]

...My apologies, Cloud-san.
