[Byakuya's monthly announcements. You're probably expecting them. It can't be helped. He is a very busy person, many people to keep in line. There's the Police Force, the Calligraphy Society and he is the recently appointed babysitter of the Gotei 13 and its associates. In fact, if he hadn't developed this wonderful plan in his head a few moments ago, that would probably be what this was about. Perhaps that is a blessing.
There's that telling silence that settles, that one that says he's waiting for your attention. When he's positive he has it, he speaks in that level, no-nonsense voice you all know.]
Rukia. [Nothing revealed. There's a right moment for that. Not even a barely audible inflection. And it only takes a breath of time for him to come to that moment.]
... You are invited to join Hisana and I for dinner. [Those words are really just a formality. And it's probably wise to ignore that it should be private. Byakuya has his reasons.]
