It seems as though many people are beginning to contemplate career decisions these days. Some of them are quite quaint. One might even say they can be considered charming

Maybe I could pick up a cake for the next time you two have tea.

Wonder if she has a nice singing voice?

[infidus]

As it happens, I don't think she's much for cake.

[Intestines, maybe. Or definitely. Now there's a bit of information worth holding onto.]

[He stays quiet for a moment, and then...]

Did you enjoy your reunion with Matsumoto?

[godslaying]

Aww, that's a real disappointment.

[Now he can't stand in the corner while she's eating it with that smart-ass little grin on his lips.]

'Fraid she's just as disagreeable as ever.

[Which is Gin-speak for 'Yeah, kinda did.']

[infidus]

Indeed. Though I'm sure we could find a plump woman to try her throat on an aria in the garden.

[Tea sip time.]

Some people never change. Well, you could say they choose not to. Hopefully she'll manage to keep out of trouble.

[Not that he actually cares. At all. But you do, don't you, Gin?]

[girl_unlocking]

Languages? I-I'm pretty good with ...well. [Then she remembers you saw her dream.]

[...]

[infidus]

Is there a problem... Dawn, wasn't it?

[Oh, he remembers exactly who you are. But let's not show our hand.]

[girl_unlocking]

[Sigh.]

No. It's not a...

...forget it.

What kind of languages are you thinking of teaching?

[infidus]

I'm particularly comfortable with Japanese. Though there are any number I've managed to master in my lifetime.

[What, waiting for the right time to kill your government leaves you with a lot of free time.]

[threedoctorates]

It's been my experience that our Unit Chief sees the field just as much as us regular agents do.

[A beat. He's curious now. He's a learned man, after all]

What languages?

[infidus]

I think it's fair to say that depends on the nature of the organization in question. What, exactly, is the nature of yours?

[Just asking. Not gathering info. ...]

I'd begin to list them, but I haven't the time. I am rather old after all, by most standards.

[By living standards, anyway. :|a]

[threedoctorates]

FBI. The Federal Bureau of Investigations, part of the United States government. I'm an agent with the BAU, that's the Behavioral Analysis Unit.

[Lucky for you, Aizen, Reid doesn't mind talking about his job. What he's allowed to, anyway.]

Age is often in the eye of the beholder, is it not?

[infidus]

Oh, an American. What is it you do in this Behavioral Analysis Unit? I assume it isn't a military position, if your commanders are sent to the field.

[sonvisage]

Excellent fight, by the way. You continue to be entertaining.

[infidus]

I, of course, am pleased to be entertaining.

[sonvisage]

And I am pleased to be entertained. [It's like a circle. Of horrible and bad. Only it looks like cake. And the cake is a lie?]

[ Voice ]

[swordofthenorth]

A rather illuminating performance you put on last night.

[ Oh, and it was quite put on, indeed. ]

[ Voice ]

[infidus]

Was it, then? I'm glad you found it enlightening.

[He's smiling, now. It's almost audible.]

You were late, weren't you? Isn't that considered impolite?

[ Voice ]

[swordofthenorth]

My, aren't we ungrateful this evening?

After all, it's better to be late than to not arrive at all, Aizen.

[ Voice ]

[infidus]

Ungrateful? That's an interesting way to put it. In the end, it was only an exercise.

[Clink clink. Someone's adding sugar. :|a]

Did you enjoy yourself?
