Ninth Secret: Mirror flower [accidental]

[The feed finds Aizen at the shaded porch of the house he'd settled into, one of the traditional Japanese houses. He is kneeling on the bare wood, hands crossed in his lap and eyes shut, meditating. The sharp-eyed would notice that while he still wears his shinigami uniform, his lieutenant's badge is gone

*Is this deliberate or not? Impossible to tell if you know how much the PCD loves to come on while he's stalking other posts.*

Cifer-san...

You have not had any trouble with the recent arrivals from our world, I hope.

[foundtheheart]

So far, only one has seemed unwilling to adhere to the truce but has said she will not force me to harm her.

[divine_dork]

Sarugaki-fukutaicho, no doubt. Do be cautious, she is hardly all talk.

[foundtheheart]

I'm aware of her skill, to some extent. I plan to avoid contact unless necessary.

[divine_dork]

You have encountered her before?

[foundtheheart]

No, I have been briefed on the basics of the Shinigami and their potential allies.

[divine_dork]

My doing, again...

At least, it's a relief to know that she is still alive and well, in a hundred years' time.

*Oh Aizen-sama, why so confusing? It's confusing being a loyalspada when your boss isn't like you remember.* I only intend to use the information in self defense.

[divine_dork]

I would expect no less, while you are here, although of course one hopes it does not come to that... it is quite remarkable, you know, that you and the others have been able to maintain the status quo for this long. Even... what was his name? Kurosaki?

[foundtheheart]

We are all aware of the fact that fighting here would do nothing but waste energy and resources. Even Kurosaki should know better than to attack without direct provocation.

[divine_dork]

I confess that, from the memories you have shown me, he did not seem particularly selective in his aggression. Perhaps I have misjudged him... have you two spoken, here?

[foundtheheart]

He had personal reasons to want to defeat me.

We have spoken over the PCD.

[divine_dork]

Are you on... agreeable terms, now?

[foundtheheart]

We have avoided outright conflict.

[divine_dork]

... could I make a request, Cifer-san?
