[Sicker than any miserable mutt, Sasakibe must have looked two shades paler today thanks to the horrible cold he gotten after his encounter with a rather powerful zanpakutou spirit. He wasn't in his best of moods, evident considering he cannot seem to stop sneezing long enough to finish a sentence

Hm?

[hearing him, he comes over and shakes his head.]

Yare yare... seems you've got yourself in quite a state there, Sasakibe-kun.

[gonryomaru]

[Sasakibe could have sworn he hidden his reiatsu well enough not be detected but it seems that even in his best attempt to hide, he cannot.]

I've had worse, much worse than just some silly cold...

[He smiled a little.]

How are you, Kyōraku-san?

[oldshunisold]

Well, I hope you feel better soon.

[Sticks around, but keeps his distance - no offense there, Sasakibe.]

Me? I've been just fine. Doing a lot of walking and sunbathing and generally being myself. [chuckles.]

[gonryomaru]

[Wise man! The sole reason why Sasakibe decided to venture out this far was to avoid inflicting his misery upon someone else.]

Always taking life in stride, I almost envy you.

[He sneezed again but this time it was followed by some coughing.]

Ugh...how it possible for a Shinigami to get sick anyways.

[oldshunisold]

Well, if you ever retire, you can try it out sometime... not that there's anything wrong with relaxing even if you're not retired, hmm?

[Looks around in his sleeves for a handkerchief or something, but he had long since stopped carrying them for Juushirou.]

Saa... who knows. Ask the next Unohana-taichou you meet, maybe she knows something we don't.

[gonryomaru]

[Takes the handkerchief with polite 'Thank you' before sneezing right into it.]

This blasted cold... I doubt even Unohana-taichou could solve such a mystery. Sometimes I think us Shinigami are really more human than we let on.

[Frowns a little.]

I cannot afford to relax. There is so much that needs to be done but there is so little time. I suppose I allow my worries to get the better of me...

[oldshunisold]

Saa... well, maybe being pulled into this place was your ticket to a vacation, hmm?

[Yeah, you can just keep that.]

They say time kind of pauses, back where you're from, so you've got plenty of time to think about whatever it is you're up to back home.
