Shasata was certainly quite the old sight for Isshin - having lived here for a bit during his youth, it was easy enough to see just how much things had changed in the last two decades that he wasn't here. Back then things weren't certainly as lively as it was now, that was for sure.

But that aside, things had been a bit more hectic now ever since Hakkai and Ryuuken and both taken their leave from the ship. Isshin was quite sad to see Ryuuken leaving after the time he had spent together working from the Silvana to here, but he knew that the man only left because he had his reasons. He could respect that much, at the very least. But at least there was still Estelle-chan, who did look a bit down for the past few days

The sound of Isshin's voice instantly brightened Estelle up, but even though she graced him with a greeting smile, it didn't reach her eyes. "Good evening, Dr. Kurosaki. Things are all right... it's been very quiet with half of the crew off of the ship. Oh, and I noticed we were low on a few bandages." She punctuated her sentence with a lift of the hand currently wrapped around two rolls of gauze.

Despite the cloud hovering over her head, she was always grateful for his presence. She looked up to and respected him too much to let herself ruin his day with her melancholy mindset, so feeling it was rude to keep restocking, Estelle set the materials down on the counter and faced him.

It was pretty obvious to Isshin that Estelle look very much down in the dumps, but the man just had something to fix that right back up.

"Well, that's good to know!" the elder doctor returned with a grin as he made his way towards the tables with the box in his hands. "I'll go to town to get the bandages tomorrow - who knows when we'll need them soon enough!" Especially with the crew of Serenity like this; they were really quite the rowdy people, alright. Isshin himself was used to it at least, though he did wonder how Estelle seemed to be holding up. She hadn't really been quite herself ever since Lowell-san left the ship

Estelle had been ready to open her mouth and tell him that there was no need to head into town; she could do it herself, and the distraction would've been appreciated. But she fell quiet, a curious look passing over her pretty face as Isshin drew her attention to the box he'd carried in. In all honesty, though she'd seen the box, she hadn't quite wondered what the contents of it were, figuring it probably wasn't for her anyway. Curious as she normally was, it simply hadn't been important.

The very second he opened the top, her body froze in place, and words failed her temporarily. He bought it for her? For them to share? All of Estelle's worries swirled down an invisible drain as she clasped both hands together. "I..." Those sea green eyes of hers, filled with awe and gratitude this time around, traveled up to his grinning face. "I don't know what to say."

So she picked the most obvious thing, smiling a real smile for the first time that day
