I'm going to need an outfit of 'evening attire' in a few days.

... Is there anyone who knows about those things and wouldn't mind advising me on where to buy it, or what it should be like, or things like that?

Would it be all right if I visited? I can bring... something.

You should wear like a western suit, eh? You'd look good in it.

[small_comfort]

Oh, thank you!

Western suit is like...
What kind of a suit is a Western suit?

[notawhiteant]

You know, like a sport-coat with a tie and trousers.

[small_comfort]

Sport-coat...
Sport-coat, tie, and trousers.
I'll remember those so I can ask someone at the store about them. Thank you!
Why is it called a 'sport-coat'?

[notawhiteant]

...I don't know. Maybe because it's sporty to wear them, or something?

[small_comfort]

What exactly does it mean to be sporty?

[notawhiteant]

Um...cool, basically.

[small_comfort]

... Oh!
Well, that'll be something to look forward to, I guess.

[notawhiteant]

Are you going to a party or something?

Captain Kuchiki is having a political dinner or something... To be honest, I don't know the details.

Ooooh. Shinigami matters. I wish I had been invited, but since that shinigami has already told me the only reason he doesn't kill me is that he doesn't want to dirty his blade with my blood, I'm not surprised.

... That's just the kind of person he is. You shouldn't take it personally. I think the only reason he was willing to dirty his blade with mine is that I'm a Gotei 13 officer, so it was within his jurisdiction.

[notawhiteant]

Er...wait. He tried to kill you before?

private;

[small_comfort]

Uh...

...

'Tried' is such a strong word.

[notawhiteant]

But he was coming at you, ready to attack? What for? I thought all the shinigami were allies...and I can't imagine why he'd want to attack you.

[small_comfort]

Uhh...

'Coming at me' is probably going too far... I mean, he doesn't need to move to direct his shikai

It was just a, you know... I mean, I was guilty of high treason at the time. ...It turned out all right in the end.
