Gin lounged in one of the chairs, feet up on a desk, holding in his hands a lidded box, a little smaller than a hatbox perhaps, tied neatly with a ribbon. Unlike his other meetings with Susan, this time he would have been plainly visible to anyone since he was wearing his gigai (along with some rather more stylish clothes he'd picked up somewhere along the way. His right arm still ached a little, but at least in a false body there would be nothing to indicate that he was still finishing healing after his fight with Byakuya some weeks ago.
Oh, please do not concern yourself with such a thing. In truth, I have been away for a fortnight, visiting my father. But it was a mundane visit, one which I do not wish to discuss, should we meet.
And I would be most happy to have a walk in the garden with you. We must take advantage of the approaching summer months!
Oh, of course, I completely understand. After that unfortunate misunderstanding with Miss Sto Helit, I wouldn't dream of bringing up such topics as family matters.
Then perhaps later this afternoon? I entirely agree that we should take advantage of the season -- perhaps there are some new flowers in bloom since the last time we were there. I shall see you later, then!
And so it was that Gin waited in the garden, wearing the same rather stylish duds he'd been seen in earlier that day.
In no particular rush, he was literally taking the time to stop and smell the flowers. Gin appreciated beauty -- and the lilac bushes were particularly pretty today, he felt.
Of course I haven't forgotten - you and our conversation are most memorable.
And I have finished catching up with my friend (I was right, he was worrying about things in his life I wasn't even aware of. I'm such a bad friend, you might think twice about taking me on as one!). However, your owl caught me in the act of sending one off to the Hufflepuff prefect Kaylee to ask her help in moving me into the dorms this evening, viz. our talk of heading off any further misunderstandings with my housemates.
I hope to spend tonight unpacking and getting acquainted with the place. I'm waiting for her reply now. Is there another prefect I should be checking in with? I haven't heard of one, but aren't there usually two?
I've made tentative plans for tomorrow to go wand-shopping in London with friends, depending on their schedules, but perhaps we could take that stroll tomorrow evening? If you're not busy, that is.
I believe something happened to Lady Door, who was the other prefect, although I'm not sure what exactly. A shame, isn't it? Ah, well, I'm sure someone will step in to fill that vacancy shortly.
Not busy at all, Miss Palmer, not for you. I'll expect to see you tomorrow evening around sunset by the lake, then.
As far as I know, tomorrow around sunset should be fine; as I say, my schedule for the day depends on at least one other's, maybe two. I'll owl if we're going to be longer in London than I now expect.
Oh dear. I hope that popcorn thing hasn't happened to Lady Door. Wish I understood how or why that happens. To say nothing of how it unhappens from time to time. I hear the Gryffindor prefect is just back from the Popcorn Room, and it's thrown the House into a tizzy.
I'll look forward to continuing our talk on proper forms of address.

((*snerk* Well he is, according to the polls, most likely to change genders and like it... which is 110% true!))
Ichimaru,
I'm as curious as you are! I've yet to discover the identity of the author, however. Have you made friends with any psychics lately? Or ever had a roommate for more than one night?
Was that a love letter from you to Byakuya I saw?
Urahara.
P.S. I heard you had a little accident in the woods. How are you feeling? All healed up? Hohoho
((I was wondering if anyone would notice that one of the 'lovely ladies' was a man! But then again, he says 'atashi' so perhaps he's partway there already))
Urahara,
You know, for some reason nobody wants to be my roommate for more than one night? I should feel almost insulted, I think. But no psychics. At least... not that I know of.
Love letter? How funny. Perhaps my meaning was a bit too obscure. But you shouldn't interfere in things that don't concern you.

((*dies* Maybe he's a hermaphrodite.))
Ichimaru,
That's a shame. I can't ever imagine why. If you were in Ravenclaw you might have better luck~. Perhaps some other friend of yours has teased you about that same... subject, before the secrets board was put up?
Oh, I'm not interfering, there's no need for harsh words between us. Oho, I hit a nerve.

Gin,
I can meet you outside the Ravenclaw common room at your convenience.
-Susan Sto Helit
Because she'd be damned if she was letting Gin anywhere near her actual room.

Susan,
I think there may be an unused classroom near the Great Hall where we could meet, if you'd rather I stayed away from your roommate. ^_^

Fair enough. I'll look for you there.
