haori | Cough 042

[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.]

Hm, a very good reason for a party. And when will it take place?

An admirable quest, my friend.

This weekend! Oh, please tell me you can come! I'll introduce you to Xatu and you'll just love her.

I'll see if I a up to it. I am still recovering from a recent bout of illness.

I'll make you tea!

[Oh god please don't let him anywhere near hot water.]

[...Don't promise him tea, then. LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE.]

I am quite fond of tea...

Ah, forgive me, I have forgotten my manners entirely. I am Ukitake Jyuushirou.

[He bows his head slightly.]

It's a pleasure to meet you.

I'll make you some! [As long as you're totally cool with it being spiced by ground peppers and melon.]

And- oh, I'm Will, of the Elite Four! It's nice to meet you too!

That would be very kind of you, Will-san.

[He'll pretend not to notice...until you've turned your back and then - woops! into the bushes it goes~]

'Wilson'?

[BOGGLES AT YOU FOR A MOMENT.]

It's just Will, Ukitake!

No, I said...Will-san. You must not be Japanese.

But if you'd rather be just Will, I can do that, as well.

I'm from Johto. [Nodnod, temporarily forgetting that Ukitake is sort of not from his world.] Have you ever been there?

Johto...I do not believe I have. It doesn't sound familiar.

[It's all right, Will. A lot of people in Japan haven't heard of Soul Society.]
