Content: With Ichigo gone and Rangiku being worryingly serious and upset, a worn out Orihime moves in with the two 10th Division shinigami
Location: Casa de Rangiku etc.
Time of day: Late evening (AFTER Renji's meeting.)
Warnings: None
It had been a very long day, and Orihime was utterly exhausted. Weighing on her even more than what she'd spent in both physical and spiritual energy her worries was the dull ache that came with Ichigo's absence and her worries about her friends, particularly Rangiku. Inoue wasn't so concerned about the 10th Division captain, though she really wished that he had come to her right away; she should have just enough strength left to heal him tonight. Hopefully he and the rest of her friends would listen to what she'd said at the meeting though, and actually tell her when something happened in the future. Orihime would do anything she could for them without a second thought, but only if she knew they needed the help.
Some clothes and toiletries, along with a couple of the books of fairy tales to which she'd become particularly attached during her stay at the Library Hotel, made up the majority of her possessions. Moving them from one residence to the other had not been a difficult task and hadn't really needed three people, but Orihime was grateful for both the company and the help with physical labor. "Thank you," she said with a tired but genuine smile at both Soul Reapers. She managed to keep her relief at finally being just about done with the day mostly concealed, but she was looking forward to sleep.
