(I'm listening. I'm trying to listen. Don't get angry with me; I know already. I'm just as frustrated. You're not helping.)[Since returning to Seireitei, and against Rangiku's advice, Ashido had been training without stopping to rest. Unlike his usual cool efficiency when fighting Hollows, he was throwing everything he had into this; experimenting

[Watches.]

[oneremaining]

[His frustration is beginning to show, just a little, as an attack falters again and his reiatsu flares angrily. Although, outwardly his expression barely even flickers.

His pause is a little longer, this time, as he regains his composure, glancing briefly at his feline onlooker. He really shouldn't find being watched so disconcerting, especially not by what at first glance is simply a cat.]

[ucannotcatchme]

[This one sure looked special. Strong too, for boy who didn't have shikai.]

You're pushing too hard.

[oneremaining]

[...Correction: Simply a talking cat.]

I'm... just doing what I need to.

[wrathoflove]

[ Came out for a walk; lo and behold, someone else is training for once. ]

[oneremaining]

[Not all in Seireitei are slackers, thankfully. Although some have more need to train than others.

He senses you there, Ichigo, but he's going to finish this round of attacks before he stops to acknowledge you. Can't let yourself be distracted too easily, after all.]

...You were the one during the Menos attack.

[He's still such an conversationalist, isn't he?]

[wrathoflove]

I was. Hell of a time.

[oneremaining]

If that's what you'd call it.

...You're still hanging around here even after what happened with the Soutaichou?

[ltnumbernine]

*silently watching from a distance, he's been attracted to any small activity near the border since Hinamori's wanderings*

[oneremaining]

[Now that one's distracting; one of the issues that's been weighing on him since he'd reported to the Soutaichou and received his orders. Speaking to Kensei about it had done little except reinforce what he was already worried about.

For now he's going to try and ignore Hisagi. Perhaps he should have stayed further away from Seireitei while he was training... even if he risked attack by Hollows by doing so.]

[ltnumbernine]

*striding a little closer, after watching Ashido exhaust himself the same way he had been doing not so long ago*

...you have a lot of power. It could use some refinement, though.

[oneremaining]

[Hesitating somewhat as the other approaches. He hadn't expected it and he almost seems a little wary.]

...I'm working on that.

[His curt reply only reinforces the apparent distrust.]

[karakurakuchiki]

[Have a SubstituteShinigami!Rukia, who came along when she sensed the hollows. She comes out of a flash-step, but a few yards away.]

[oneremaining]

Rukia.

[He doesn't stop for long enough to take note that this Rukia isn't the one he's familiar with.]

[karakurakuchiki]

[She's never met him before, so she's watching him carefully.]

You know me?

[oneremaining]

[A pause. Come to think of it, her reiatsu was different.]

...No. Someone like you.

[dontaskformercy]

[He just watches him in the distance]

[oneremaining]

[Doesn't recognise that reiatsu, although it feels like a Shinigami, which he still - perhaps foolishly, considering he's been warned about the traitors - takes to mean that the stranger poses no threat. That doesn't make being watched any less distracting, though. He hesitates as he glances over at Wabisuke. This one didn't look much like a Shinigami.]

...Is there a problem?

I warned you, he acts like if he were high :D

[dontaskformercy]

[Smiles softly at him]

I just enjoy watching people train.

lmfao... Seriously, Wabisuke, those happy pills are for Kira.

[oneremaining]

It's distracting. [Though he should be above distraction.] ...And creepy.
