Cough 061 - [Video]

[haori]

[Ukitake is outside of his house, hair wet and water dripping off the clumped-together edges.  He looks tired, but...

...it's not raining on him.]

I've put up some barriers around the house.  If the weather doesn't get too horrible, they should hold and we should be dry.

[He looks off to the side and then points his PCD to the fish pond.  Which is getting rather soggy around the edges.]

My concern is if this floods.  Water travels underground and I could extend the kidou through the ground, but even I am unsure how deep it needs to go.  In the event that the water gets out of hand, we'll....need to drain the pond.

[And it sucks because he loves that pond, loves the fish inside, but if the house is in danger, then he will have to make sacrifices.  Dammit.]

Just keep an eye on things and try to stay safe. And dry-

[And he is interrupted by a cough, though it's not as horrible as it can be.

But.  The potential for worsening is always there.]

I'll take over for now. [ No arguments. ] You should go inside and have Rukia-chan tuck you in.

[ action ]

[haori]

There's no need. I already finished.

Unfortunately I don't think the rain has.

[He leans against Shunsui and looks up at the sky.]

It doesn't look like it wants to let up anytime soon, does it?

[ Looking at the same sky, he shakes his head slowly. ] The Animus sure have an unusual sense of humor.

Mn.

Kyouraku. If something happens to me and I can't hold up the kidou anymore, I put you in charge.

[ Blink. Blink. ]

Don't talk like that. It makes my heart feel so heavy. [ And in the rain it is so dramatic. ]

[haori]

[A small smile.]

I mean in case I do get sick and Unohana-taichou makes me relax.

That won't happen if you have Rukia-chan tuck you in now. [ Sorry, he's stuck on this idea. ]

[haori]

Why Kuchiki-san, huh?

[Have a playful elbow to the ribs, Shunsui.]

Keep up that kind of talk and people will get the wrong idea.

Is she not one of your most gifted subordinates? Plus she's cute. That cool demeanor of her's~

[haori]

She is. But I am quite capable of tucking myself in. I've done it most of my life.

[ Does he even have to tell Ukitake that's not the point? No, because Kyoraku thinks his best friend is just doing this to be difficult. ]

[haori]

[He can be quite difficult when he sets his mind to it, yes.]
