Hisana had wishes. She had lots of tiny wishes, simple things that he would not hesitate to grant, reaching up into the sky and plucking whatever she so desired because his power and reach were great and she deserved anything and everything he could give her and more.
He had never had any, not until he met her. He'd been raised to use his power to attain whatever he wanted, not to waste time wishing and hoping for something.
He's a little surprised at himself when he shows up, out of uniform, lacking anything that separates him from a common man save for that straight posture and noble air, but that pride that is usually there in his eyes is a bit more distant. He's not here for anyone but Hisana, a time to reflect on something he hadn't in a little while.
He ties his own little wish, an impossible one, but a most important one. Hisana had always said even a prince had a wish. He'd never believed her until she died.]

It's even more surprising to see him without the captain's haori and shihakushou.
His greeting when he approaches the younger shinigami is a little less enthusiastic than it might be--if he's here of his own accord, it's best not to push him--but he still gives Byakuya an easy grin.]
You should dress casually more often. It suits you a lot.
[He himself is out of uniform, which he isn't usually--he's comfortable enough in it to wear it for everyday purposes. But hey, it's a party.]

It is reserved for special occasions. [The only time he'd ever walked around without those noble heirlooms had been around the estate and usually only in her presence. It feels odd.]
Have you made a wish?
Reply
Don't think I've ever seen you out of uniform, actually.
[And then a soft chuckle.]
Yeah, I have.
[He doesn't say that part of the wish is for Byakuya to see him as a friend someday]
Reply
There hasn't been a reason to.
[He says nothing about that chuckle, though a little part of him is curious as to what, exactly had been wished for.]
... It is calm. [A little distant, though he's careful not to make it seem odd. It's just an observation, after all those zombies that had attacked (and dragged back). This peace seemed surreal.]

Once he had placed his wish on the plant, she picked up a cup of hot tea and brought it over. It was possible he wouldn't acknowledge her in public. He never really did before. But she believed she had to be civil to everyone.]
Would you like some tea, sensei?
Reply
His regards her with a stare that probably isn't as intimidating as he intends.]
... that is unnecessary.

I think the festival is going quite well. Are you enjoying yourself?

What did you want?

I wanted to offer you some tea. That's it.
[She paused. It was probably better to hold her tongue. What good would it do to stir up trouble during this festival, when everything was going so well and everyone was forgetting some of their troubles?
Why is that a big deal?
[Utena had never been good at keeping her mouth shut.]

[And, to him, that should answer all of her questions. He had never asked for it, he had never given any indication he so wanted it, so it should never have been brought. Even after nearly eight months in this place, he still has not changed those habits. He refuses to.
His stare is disapproving, however and he believes that, too, should be enough to silence her, to send her on her way. Well, that is the intent. He's aware they aren't intimidating without his kenseikan.]
Reply
[Really? This over some tea and small talk?]
I forgot that polite isn't something you do.
[Go on, keep staring. Utena didn't look away; she would not be intimidated by his glare.]
