[There are a couple of reactions here, when he sees that face on the screen.
The first is of relief. It'll be good for Ukitake, to have his best friend here, and he could definitely use another friendly face while he's recovering.
The second is...more like dread. Because he's reminded by this arrival, by every arrival of a shinigami, that he is to die in his world. And he needs to explain why he's alive in this one. Even if he hasn't died yet.And sometimes he wonders, if Kyouraku resents him for hurting Ukitake with his death, just as Byakuya resents him on Rukia's behalf

[There's a small widening of the eyes as he sees that familiar face in the screen. Shiba Kaien, a man who had been like a son and more to Ukitake. His death had been devastating, not only to his friend, but to Thirteenth as a whole. To this day, Ukitake still hadn't appointed a new fukutaichou, although perhaps someday Rukia would be ready to take the role

I'm told I've been here before, but I seem to have lost the memory. We old-timers do that sometimes. [He grins in self-depreciation, although he certainly doesn't look old by most standards, two thousand years or not.]
But I'm always delighted to meet pretty young ladies--especially those who address me so charmingly~.

[Wow, dude, you look like shit.
...Which means he must have been in a battle. And not a very good one, from the looks of it.
Damn.]
We're stuck in a city called Anatole, I dunno if anyone's given you more information than that.
