Silver nights and smoky days, and miracles woven anew...

[A wooden bokken in hand, Ru-taichou runs through the motions of a kata; feet sliding smoothly through the stances, arms swinging to strike an invisible opponent. A sharp exhale on each blow, sharpening the strike. Her singular bang is plastered to her forehead, evidence of the several hours of practice she's spent out here.

[That...is awesome.]

Woah! Rukia-san can do that sort of thing?

[lionessofwinter]

[HI THAR, INOUE! This will be Captain Ru stumbling a bit, out of her forms.]

Umm...yes?

[returntohalcyon]

Uwaaaah! That's amazing!
I wonder if Rukia-chan back home is working on that sort of thing too?

[lionessofwinter]

[Blush~]

Ahh, th-thank you.

[returntohalcyon]

You're welcome! Who knew Rukia-san would have such a nifty Bankai~!

[lionessofwinter]

[She nods, sealing said bankai away.]

I've yet to completely master it still, Shirayuki has dances she's yet to show me.

[A small bit of shame there? Perhaps, its been more than the requisite ten years to master a bankai properly.]

[returntohalcyon]

That's okay, I'm sure you'll get them eventually! I believe in you Rukia-san!

[lionessofwinter]

...Thank you.

[It was so easy to forget what a force of optimism that Orihime was, and how it was good to have that around sometimes.]

[returntohalcyon]

[Nods, thinking for a moment] You know, this is the first time I've met a Rukia here.

[lionessofwinter]

...Really?

[returntohalcyon]

Yeah it's sort of weird, with how popular Ichigo and Me-chans and others seem to be to get pulled here, you'd think Rukia would be too.

[lionessofwinter]

That is strange.

[Though part of her is a bit relieved to hear her other selves have not been dragged to this place.]

[returntohalcyon]

Yeah, just a bit. Maybe when this place takes people it does it based on taste, and it doesn't like the Rukia taste! But if Rukia had a taste it'd be like a snow cone I think, and who doesn't like snow cones! So even then it's still weird!
But I wonder what I taste like then.

[ponders this aspect harder]

[lionessofwinter]

Ahh...

[Wait, give her a sec to catch up to that bit of conversation...]

M-Maybe you're bubblegum?

[returntohalcyon]

You think that would fit? I thought maybe yogurt and peanut butter sandwich could do it for me.

[lionessofwinter]

I guess those work too...
