[Kuukaku looks like ragged hell that's been driven over by a sixteen-horse carriage. Almost a month of being in crisis mode - between battling out the invaders in the Rukongai then spending the time ever since between trying to coral the uprisings and protecting the citizens caught

[voice--not that she'll likely hear it at the moment]

I'm on my way--they can't tell us what to do when we're off duty. Fucking hell.

I'll join you. They'll probably need a healer, stat.

[When he gets there, the house is smoldering. The roof is gone, as is most of the left side of the house - the kitchen, the parlor, her bedroom, the library mostly. The underground complexes such as the workshop and the storage is seemingly untouched. Thin veils of smoke curl into the air, but Kuukaku just sits on the grass, covered from head to toe in soot with her head tucked against her knees.

She doesn't move, doesn't even acknowledge his presence for the moment.]

[Her shoulder flinches under his touch as she turns her head to look at him from under ashen bangs and a soot-smeared face. A flash of anger in her eyes shines before its over come by an expression of sheer...done.]

...Fuck.

[Nothing really here, but Shunsui's gonna take the time to go out that way before too long. Whether you see him or not is a different story. Doesn't want to cause a stir, after all.]

[[Byakuya is overcome with indignation at this.

He is indignant that the work being done to the noble homes has become such a target for ridicule. The repairs are being done under the inflexible orders of Central 46. Byakuya has delegated the work to his own division as to keep the burden of this labour off of the other divisions while still effecting the repairs as quickly as possible.

He is also indignant that the people of Rukongai would do such a thing. Despite her status in the eyes of the Seireitei nobles, Kuukaku is still a proud Shiba and had made herself out to be a trusted and notable member of the Rukongai.
After all her efforts to help them as a leader should, how dare they treat her this way?]]
