[Rei is sitting underneath a tree, carefully arranging slips of white paper into an envelope. Those that know her -- and know her practice -- may recognize them as the ofuda that Rei never leaves home without... which brings up the question as to why, exactly, she's got so many of them with her.

Her transformation wand is in her lap, but it looks

[You can has video, Hino Rei. Video that is propped conspicuously up on a table so that nothing below Hitsugaya's shoulders can be seen. But hey, he's sitting up without a death grip on Sasuke's shoulder.]

What is it?

[That makes her feel a lot better, Hitsu, despite what's on her mind. She doesn't say anything regarding his state, though -- that's for another time. Want a distraction, Hitsugaya? You got one.

She hesitates, only for a moment, before speaking.]

Ciel's butler, Sebastian, is a demon.

[Blunt always works best.]

[Thank you, Hino. That is exactly what he wants.

That particular revelation, however, doesn't seem to surprise him. Instead, it makes him thoughtful. Tense and certainly not happy but not shocked.]

...How did you come to a conclusion like that?

[marsfireignite]

Because I went to Ciel's house and I felt like I was stepping into a gate of Hell.

[Okay, an exaggeration... sort of. Sebastian's aura covers the place like a thick blanket.]

... Ciel was injured. I decided to go help. The minute I walked into that place, I felt it. And when I got upstairs and tried to get Ciel out of there, he refused, and that thing just appeared in the room behind me. I didn't even hear him. And... he told me.

[She fiddles with the PCD for a minute, worrying at her bottom lip. Sebastian had told her he could kill her if he wanted, if Ciel ordered it. Every single thing about the demon made Rei believe him, one hundred and fifty percent. Telling Hitsugaya isn't about a pre-emptive strike, necessarily. She just needed someone to tell.]

You look different.

[Way to comment on the obvious, Cloud.]

[marsfireignite]

Must be the event.

[mirroredecho]

Is that the reason you look so tired?

[marsfireignite]

That and other things.

[So Faye is now, like, ten years old. And curious. And spamming everyone. :|]

... Stay safe from what?

[Video]

[marsfireignite]

[... blink.]

Faye -- oh, the event. It's always best to be safe during these things, right?

[Video]

[speaklikechild]

But I don't see anything bad.

[marsfireignite]

Well, we can keep it that way, right?

[She blinks.]

... hey?

-=perks up just a little bit! Someone's talking to him.=-

H-hello.

[marsfireignite]

What's your name?

[She has an inkling, but it's polite.]

[buntails]

Rei-chan? What's going on?

[Oh, Usagi. Seeing you makes her canon update so much worse.

A filter switch.]

I'm going to stay at the clinic tonight with Toushirou.

But you have your ofuda.

[marsfireignite]

I always have my ofuda, Usagi.

... have you been affected by the event? Do you feel any different, remember anything new?
