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.]

[She just gave him a rather mysterious and enigmatic look, he could draw his conclussions from that.]

[haori]

Ah, intriguing. I suspect it is another one of your powers.

[He's totally smirking back at you.]

Maybe, but as a woman, I will keep the secret and you will have to find out.

[She's looking just so innocent about it.]

[Offline]

[haori]

Ah, I see.

Just because I like you, doesn't mean I will give away all of my secrets, that's cheating.

[Offline]

[haori]

Fair enough. We all need a little mystery in life, ne?

[nimquesse.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[Smiles just a bit.]

How are you feeling now?

[Offline]

[haori]

Better, thank you.

It...helps when someone's with me. I don't like being alone during these attacks.

[She nods slowly, she can understand that. It's always better when you're not alone when you're sick.]

...Well, I will be here any time you need me, okay?

[Offline]

[haori]

I appreciate it.

[He smiles and runs his thumb hesitantly over the back of her hand. It feels natural to him, but he's not sure what he should be doing.]

[She smiles a bit and looks down at their hands, this is the kind of thing that makes her wonder where they are standing.]

[Offline]

[haori]

[He notices her glance to their joined hands and stops moving.]

Ah...my apologies. If this makes you uncomfortable...

[nimquesse.livejournal.com]

No, don't stop!

[Coughs just a bit embarrassed at that and she flushes just a little bit.]

I mean...I'm not uncomfortable.

[Offline]

[haori]

[The sudden exclamation caused his eyes to widen.]

Oh...oh, that's good.

[He went back to his previous ministrations.]

[Offline]

[nimquesse.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry about that.

[She was so embarrassed that she was close of just getting out of there.]

[Offline]

[haori]

No, don't worry about it. I just confuse myself sometimes.

[He could feel her presence fluctuating and was worried for a moment.]

You don't have to leave...unless you want to.

[Offline]

[nimquesse.livejournal.com]

Confuse yourself....what do you mean?

[She took a deep breath and tried to calm down a bit.]

Well I don't, but if you want me to leave so you can rest, I will understand.

[haori]

[He cleared his throat a bit.]

If I'm in a new situation, I don't always know what to do or say, so if someone else is suddenly uncomfortable I don't know if it's something I did.

I like your company.

[Offline]

[nimquesse.livejournal.com]

Ohh, I see. Well I don't think you can do anything to make feel uncomfortanble.

I like your company too.

[Offline]

[haori]

Good, good.

[nimquesse.livejournal.com]

I'm also glad that you enjoy my company.
