Up until Shuuhei announced that he was coming over after his declaration of un-love, Izuru had been keeping himself quiet company in his room. The posts on the network had been the last thing he had done before some journaling, but as the last hour had been devoted to responding to concerned friends and acceptances of his invitation to drinking (really, when had they become so reliant on the communicators?), he hadn't thought much of changing clothes in the case someone decided to visit. And then Shuuhei did. With only a few minutes' notice, Izuru had time only to straighten his yukata and throw on a light over-robe before the knock on his door came.

Taking a breath, he slid the door opened and tried--really tried--to give Shuuhei as warm a smile as possible. It fell short, and he finally settled for the half-hearted smile that came. "You really didn't have to come, Hisagi..." He murmured and stepped aside for his friend to come in. Izuru knew he was well-known for his melancholic moods--and he had been getting better about them, really--but this was something he had resigned himself to dealing with in quiet solitude. It didn't make it easier, and he hadn't dared to give form to the words, even in his journal (which was stowed neatly in the side table in the corner) until it was unavoidable with Shuuhei.

Once Shuuhei was in the room, he closed the door behind him and stared between the bottle and his friend's face. "Really, it is stupid, given the circumstances going on in Seireitei."
