Cough 007 - [Video Post]

[haori]

[The feed turns on to show a tired-looking Ukitake after the masquerade.  His hair is slightly crimped from the braid it had been in and his eyes are droopy, but he's well.]

Has anyone seen or heard from Rinoa-san lately?  I was hoping she would be at the masquerade, but I didn't see her.

[A short chuckle and he smiles.]

Of course, I could have mistaken her for another party guest.

I haven't.

...You attended that?

[Voice]

[haori]

Hm...

I did! It was nice to unwind and see friends.

[Voice]

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

...Ah.

[And he's extremely relieved that Ukitake-taichou didn't mention seeing him.]

[Voice]

[haori]

I wouldn't mind if we did something like that again. But without the spiked drinks, of course.

...I'd rather not.

[Voice]

[haori]

Of course you wouldn't. You're too serious.

[Voice]

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

...I'm as serious as I need to be.

[Voice]

[haori]

Hm...one of these days I'll invite you over for tea and we'll loosen you up a bit.

[Voice]

[Huff, even though he'd totally accept an invite to tea with Uki.]

[Voice]

[haori]

My door is always open.

[How could you not?]

[Voice]

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

...Ah.

[Exactly.]
