Cough 021 - [Video Post]

[haori]

[The feed opens with the sight of Ukitake coughing into his free hand.  Luckily, no blood can be spottted.  Yet.]

Ungh...my apologies.  Even with the weather clearing up, it seems that it has finally caught up with me.  [Cough.]  It's what I get for traipsing about in the snow.

[He tucks himself into bed, propped up on pillows again.  This is a normal pose for the Shinigami, as friends have and will come to know.  Sniffling, he speaks again.]

I should be back to myself within a week or tw--

[There must have been a tickle in his throat because he's coughing violently now, red visible through the cracks of his fingers before the feed ends.]

Alright. That's the last warning you're getting.

[haori]

[Give him a second, he's recovering.]

It's all right, Leon, I've had worse.

[Video]

[heartofalion]

I'd hate to actually see..worse.

[Video]

[haori]

It's not pleasant, let's just say that.

[Video]

[heartofalion]

I'm sure it isn't. As it is, if I hear anything else out of you, I'm showing up.

[Video]

[haori]

Really, Leon-san, it's nothing Unohana-taichou hasn't seen before. This is normal.

[He clears his throat, feeling it get a little dry.]

...That doesn't count.

[Video]

[heartofalion]

Normal. If you say so. But what I said still goes.

[Video]

[haori]

I do say so. But if you must keep your word, then I'd get going. I know my fit's not over.

[Video]

[heartofalion]

I always keep my word.

[Sighs]

Unohana better have a room open for you then.

[Video]

[haori]

Unohana-taichou has seen this probably more times than she can count. There's nothing she can do to heal me.

[Video]

[heartofalion]

Maybe she has, but I haven't.

[Video]

[haori]

[Le sigh.]

I can't argue with that.

[Video]

[heartofalion]

I don't need to see anything happen to you. And I won't, I refuse.

[Video]

[haori]

You'll stop time, then? Or fate?

[Video]

[heartofalion]

I'd fight either to save people I give a damn about.

[Video]

[haori]

You can't always fight them. I've lived long enough to know this as truth more than once.

[Video]

[heartofalion]

Fighting is what I do, my friend.

[Video]

[haori]

It is also my profession, I know.

[Video]

[heartofalion]

Well then you know I'm not one to just sit around and let bad things happen without a fight. It goes against..my nature.

[Video]

[haori]

I'm sure this won't kill me tonight, Leon.

[Video]

[heartofalion]

[Have a worried frown.]

[Video]

[haori]

[He sighs lightly, trying not to disturb his lungs too much. So he decides to describe things in more detail so Leon won't be in the dark.]

Remember when I told you about my illness? This is it. When I get an attack, I cough a lot, and most of the time I cough up blood, as well. Some attacks are worse than others, but if I can remain conscious through it, I consider it one of the better ones.

[Video]

[heartofalion]

I appreciate the heads up, but it won't stop me from being concerned, even if you ended up doing this every day.

[Video]

[haori]

I'm glad I don't do this every day. It would get extremely painful after a wh-

[Oh, look, there he goes coughing again.]

[Video]

[heartofalion]

Damn it. I'm on my way right now.
