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.]

Does tea help you think?

[Video]

[haori]

Sometimes.

[Video]

[mere_shopkeeper]

_[Headtilt.]

Will it this time?

[Video]

[haori]

Will it be accompanied by a certain soul?

[Video]

[mere_shopkeeper]

Would you like it to be?

[Video]

[haori]

I imagine I'd get even less thinking done. But perhaps that's a good thing.

[Video]

[mere_shopkeeper]

I can be thoughtful at times...

_[Pout.]

[Video]

[haori]

When you want to be.

[Video]

[mere_shopkeeper]

Should I be this time?

[Video]

[haori]

If you'd like. I don't mind either way.

[Video]

[mere_shopkeeper]

Then I shall think about it on my way over~!

_{[Brb, making tea.]}

[Video]

[haori]

Mn. Don't think too hard.

[Video]

[mere_shopkeeper]

_{[Hurt look.]}

Are you afraid that it'll hurt my brain if I do try thinking too hard?

[Video]

[haori]

There's a lot in there. I'm simply looking out for your well-being, Urahara-san.

[Video]

[mere_shopkeeper]

I'm sure you are...

_{[Moving out the door with the tea now.]}

[Ukitake looks up at Urahara as soon as he arrives.]

Hello, there.

[Offline]

[mere_shopkeeper]

Hello, Ukitake-taichou~!

_{[Here, have another blanket on your head before Urahara plops down next to you and pours tea.]}

[Offline]

[haori]

Oh!

[He flails for a moment, but then manages to free himself from the ocean of blanket, though his hair is all wonky now because of it. Ukitake quickly tries to fix it, brushing his bangs out of his face, but it's just not the same. Even so, he hesitantly pulls the blanket tighter around himself, wondering how cold Urahara would be.]

<sub>[Urahara just watches Ukitake in his great struggle with the blanket, an amused smirk curving at his lips when Ukitake tries to return his hair into its normal neatness. He'd tease the man about vanity, but...

That grin says enough on its own, so he'll just hand over a cup of tea.]</sub>

[Offline]

[haori]

[He sees that grin. He see and he narrows his eyes just slightly before taking the cup.]

Thank you, Urahara-san.

[Offline]

[mere_shopkeeper]

Never a problem, Ukitake-taichou~

_{[The grin doesn't go away, though he does pull out some milk candy from his pockets and sets it down between them.]}

[Offline]

[haori]

[...Milk candy. Urahara-san, why you do this? He's just...going to take a couple pieces. Yep. Nothing to see here.]

[Offline]

[mere_shopkeeper]

<sub>[Because it's what Willy Wonka taught him how to make.

Plopping a piece into his mouth now, humming quietly.]</sub>
