Cough 042 - [Video]

[haori]

[Ukitake is sitting in his garden with a blanket draped over his shoulders and his haori in his lap, long, slender fingers pulling the hem closer to his body.  The stitching has come out in some places along the bottom edge and the fabric is wearing thin in others, like the shoulders and hem.  There is a threaded needle held carefully between his lips.

The garment has gone a long time without repair.

Pulling the needle from his lips, Ukitake begins to mend, smiling peacefully as he does so.]

It is never too early to prepare for the future, as some of you have already pointed out, wisely so.

[He goes silent again and quickly stitches up a section of hem that had lost its thread.]

I have delayed far too long on you, my friend.

[Looking at the camera for the first time this entire post, Ukitake smiles.]

Yuki-san, if I may ask your assistance?  It is getting colder and I know that snowdrops commonly flower in late autumn and winter.  If you have or happen to come across any, would you please let me know?

[He studies the material for another moment before noticing another area to fix, then shuts off his PCD.]

Nice to see you up and about.

I have a question for you..but I'd rather discuss this in person if you have time.

You are always welcome to come over, you know this.

I can get some in the greenhouse and bring them by when you have time Ukitake-san.

[Video]

[haori]

That would be wonderful. Whenever would be best for you.

[cursed_mouse]

I'll be there in a bit with them then Ukitake-san.

[saucey]

Just don't go and sew it to your shirt.

[He chuckles lightly.]

I think I can at least manage that much, Sasuke-kun.

[saucey]

Good.

...

[saucey]

Yes?

[masked-elite.livejournal.com]

You should come to my party too!

[Random decision for a person he's never spoken with GET.]

[Video]

[haori]

[But Ukitake LOVES parties! Health permitting.]

Oh, is that so?

[masked-elite.livejournal.com]

There's karaoke.

...I will need to get you something else so you don't wear your haori that much.

[Video]

[haori]

Only if you would like to, Sparrow. I really don't mind.

[Video]

[nimquesse.livejournal.com]

Well it will help for the garment to, ahem, not wear down that quickly, right?

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

Now I know where to come when I need something hemmed.

[Video]

[haori]

It would be my pleasure, Cloud-san. I could teach you how to do it, as well. It's not too difficult a skill to acquire.

[He really, really wants to make some crack about not needing it because hey, Tifa knows how to do all of that. But it was bound to come in handy at some point.]

I.... guess that could be useful.

[mere_shopkeeper]

[Smile. Smile. At least the haori didn't have kunai holes in it.]

It's a pleasant day, is it not~?

[Video]

[haori]

[That was a pain to fix, you jerk.]

It is, Urahara-san.

[Video]

[mere_shopkeeper]

[You were able to fix it? Obviously they didn't shred it enough; he'll have to rectify that next time.]

I take it that you're feeling better then?

[Video]

[ff_red_turk]

[Watches you forever, Uki. That's ... better.]

[haori]

[Uki can has a stalker? XD

He, again, doesn't notice that Vincent is watching him for a while, just sewing up a loose hem. When he does look up to quickly survey the garden, he notices red out of the corner of his eye, looking over to see Vincent.]

Ah, hello Vincent-san.
