[Well, here's Kaien--he's about as roughed up as anyone else who had to escape those cages, and tired as well, despite spending the last day in the clinic. Those who can sense it can note that he's weak, too. His power is still dulled from whatever they put in him, and his hands shake just slightly as he grips the Forge.]Hey, everybody. I'm sorry I

[ That is a smile, there. ]
You've seen better days.

[A tired little grin in return. He rubs at his neck.]
I guess that's true, huh.
How are you? The elves didn't get you too, did they?

[ Not kidding, though from the lightness in his tone, it might seem that way. Part of the Intelligence job back home. ]

[ A death god. That's frightening. He sobers up pretty quickly. ]
I'd like to believe this world revives the dead. It would be a nice dream.

do you think those who have died will come back ?

I'm almost certain of it.

...Sometimes a lot longer. But that's rare. And it's even rarer for someone not to come back.
[At least, with confirmed deaths anyway. No one really knows what happens to those who disappear--the hope is that they've gone home.]

Um.
[the brunette pauses, sucking in her lower lip.]
Are you...are you alright?

Ah, I'm alright. Just a bit tired. [You know. Recovering from being poisoned drugged and all.]
Are you okay, Minatsuki? You'll stay inside, right?

You should get some - some rest.
[it's...surprisingly easy to play concern.]
Y - yes. I stayed inside, but I'm still a little scared. [gulp.] You're...you're not fighting those things, are you?

That's what I'm here for. [And panning out slightly to show where he is--the Clinic.]
[And despite the tiredness, his smile softens into an expression of reassurance.]
Good. Don't come out until the elves are gone--you'll be safe then.
[He'd promise that, but it's not as if he can back it up, as he is right now.]
I wish I could be, but I'm...not exactly in top form right now. [Another of those laughs, a bit self-deprecating this time.]

Um. You're welcome.

You're...new, right?
[That is some really shitty timing, Door.]

...The city isn't usually infested with flesh-eating elves like this.
[Some clicky noises as he searches through his new Forge. Have a text link!] That should explain...most things about this place. It's a little out of date since the guy who wrote it disappeared.

[ When both Policing Division and Patrol are stretched thin, as it is? What a decision to make.
But Ukitake is not yet overwhelmed, and the copper crust of blood that streaks the side of his face is not his own - it is a testament to an elf long gone. ]
Ah. In good time, perhaps.
Tell me, how is the clinic withstanding the siege? And what of your friend, Xerxes Break?
[ A beat, and the bare hints of a grin as he murmurs - ]
In recovery, after exposure to a dart laden with debilitating toxin, and you still manage to give quite the speech, Kaien.

It's not him he worries about so much as others. People that will fight to their last breath instead of falling back to regroup (People like him, really).]
We're holding up alright--there haven't been any elves that have gotten in so it's still safe.
[A light chuckle at the inquiry about Break.]
He's fine too, still stubborn as ever. Keeps trying to run off and join the fighting.
[A smirk.]
I only learn from the best, taichou.

You flatter me.
If, at any point in time, the circumstances regarding the clinic should change, I ask that you notify me immediately. Let us ensure it stays safe.
[ And then, a light sigh - ]
It would seem Break-san requires more looking after than Kusajishi-fukutaichou, herself.
