CVI.

[dark_butler]

You know what they say about idle hands being the devil's workshop?

Why then, when my hands are not at all idle, is the trouble still building?

[10thdiv_haineko]

Because that's the nature of the city.

[dark_butler]

I think rather that it is the nature of what I am. Or who I am. Or both.

[10thdiv_haineko]

So what did you do?

private

[dark_butler]

Little.

I helped Dark take Noitora to the forest and strung him up that Dark might take some target practice.

It will help me refine my weapon design.

[so_very_greedy]

How long have you been in this city, that you actually have to ask that?

[dark_butler]

Heh. Call it a conversation opener.

[so_very_greedy]

I'm just glad those three curse days in a row are over. My stone was achin'.

[dark_butler]

How's that?

[browning_baby]

I always hated that phrase.

[dark_butler]

Fortunately, I always took it figuratively.

[browning_baby]

That's a good thing.

[dark_butler]

It's just a saying. I don't set much stock in rote recitation.

[tinyvampiregod]

What trouble is building?

Yes, yes I could have read the ridiculously long number of comments before this, but going to the source is easier. Indulge please.

[dark_butler]

Difficulties with those idiot arrancar.

[tinyvampiregod]

Would that things stayed deceased in this place.

[dark_butler]

It would be much simpler, granted.

Still, I didn't abuse Noitora. Much. All I did was tie him to a tree and take notes.

[caged_song]

Trouble...?

[dark_butler]

Nothing for you to be concerned about, Nill.

How are you?

[caged_song]

O-Oh...okay...

I'm...I-I'm fine...Just...a little tired...How is Walter...?

[dark_butler]

Why so tired?

I'm well. Keeping busy.
