Cough 052 - [Accidental Video]

[haori]

[The PCD turns on to show a figure wrapped up in a blanket, long white hair spilling over his shoulders.  Ukitake is on the roof, though it isn't apparent as to why, but that's not important.  All he's doing is staring out over the city, the chill in the air tinging his pale cheeks pink.  And when he speaks, whether it's to himself or an unseen person is unknown, his voice is soft, quiet.]

Just a captain without his soldiers.

[He goes silent again for a few moments, but then chuckles to himself, a hand reaching out to the sword resting beside him, his fingers lightly trailing over the scabbard.]

That's silly of me to say.  Kuchiki-san is here and others could show up any day, though I wouldn't wish this curse upon them.

[He sighs and places his palm flat against the scabbard now.]

I need a goal, Sougyo no Kotowari.  I can only sit back and watch for so much longer.

[He looks back out across the expanse before the PCD shuts off.]

*He bends his knees up and rests his arms on them.* It's not easy being a leader, huh?

Not when you find yourself with a severely-lacking reserve.

[He brushes aside of the bangs that have fallen into his face.]

I don't know what brought this on. I've been fine for...nearly two years.

[He pauses, letting that sink in, and then rubs a hand over his face.]

Yare, yare...

I know what you mean. If I had my friends here, this would probably be a hell of a lot easier.

*He sighs and shifts to grab his wolf pendant.* I guess everyone just gets fed up with not being able to do anything if they stay here long enough.

Friends, anyone. Don't get me wrong, I love the friends I've made here, but...it is easier when you know you can rely on someone from the start.

...It is frustrating.

And I'll bet a lot of us know people that they've already been through a bunch of crazy crap with. And it's always nice to have something familiar around. *He drops the pendant and draws one of his ever present guns instead, looking at it far too fondly for it to just be a regular weapon.*

OFFLINE

Yes, familiarity is good.

[His hand grips Sougyo no Kotowari's scabbard gently and he closes his eyes, feeling the comforting connection between Shinigami and zanpakutou flow between them.]/small>

But being able to adapt is pretty important, too.

Of course.
