Cough 033 - [Video]

[taichou_tb]

[Ukitake is out in the garden, small though it is, and tends to his bonsai plant, carefully pruning it again.]

I know it's not much, but with the nice weather, I was thinking of having a viewing in the garden.  It would give everyone a nice chance to relax and enjoy the life around us.

[He smiles, but then turns away, coughing a few times.  He frowns

Are you alright, Ukitake-taichou?

[taichou_tb]

I'll be fine. This isn't bad. I'll just have to make some tea when I head inside.

[mere_shopkeeper]

I can bring some tea over, if you'd like...

[When was the last time they had tea together?]

[Video]

[taichou_tb]

Ah, you know I have a weakness for tea, Urahara-san.

[...That's a good question.]

[A grin.]

Would you prefer chamomile or jasmine?

[The answer: too long.]

[Video]

[taichou_tb]

Hm, it's been a while since I last had jasmine, thank you.

[Clearly.]

I'll be there in a bit!

[And indeed he is, dropping out of shunpo in front of Ukitake's door, holding a teapot and two cups in one hand, knocking on said door with the other.]

[Ukitake watches Urahara knock on the door, smirking a little bit.]

It appears you overstepped the garden, Urahara-san.

[He turns, faking surprise with a grin.]

So it seems I have! Yoruichi-san would scold me were she here~

[Stepping over to the garden, he set the teapot down on the small table there before pouring out fragrant jasmine tea for the both of them. Cradling the cups in his hands, he walks over and hands Ukitake one before bending down to studying the bonsai.]

It seems you've been taking very good care of it.

I won't say a word to her.

[He takes the proffered cup with a nod and sips it, humming in contentment.]

Thank you. It's a little piece of home.

[mere_shopkeeper]

I appreciate it, though I won't be responsible if she finds out you were hiding things from her~

[Urahara brings his own cup up to his lips, blowing on it gently before taking a sip himself.]

Your welcome.

[taichou_tb]

I will put on my best innocent face.

[mere_shopkeeper]

[A sigh and pout.]

Mine never seem to work on her...

[taichou_tb]

I believe your 'mad scientist' vibe gives the game away.

[He sips the tea again.]

[mere_shopkeeper]

[Have a jaw drop before it's overtaken by a hurt look.]

Mad scientist? Me?

[He's just going to smirk.]
