Old muse wakes up

[tinypinkmenace]

Eeeeh? [Yachiru sleepily rubs her eyes and yawns]

Munnie? Is that you? [Suddenly, she is much more awake. A huge smile blooms on her face as she bounces excitedly]

Oooh! Oooh! Is it time to play again? Are we gonna go somewhere fun?

[She giggles a bit when he lays her hand on her head. Only a handful of people do that nowadays. Her giggles turn into a pout at the age comment]

I'm not that young anymore. I'm almost 310 years old. I've grown a few inches too!

[She nods]

It's Ken-chan and mine's job as Captain and Lieutenant to fight bad spirits called Hollows. We make sure the Hollows don't eat people in our world or the spirits and people in the living world. Plus, fighting is really fun.

Yeah, we've been a team since the day Ken-chan found me in the forest and gave me my name. [She looks a little wistful] We decided we'd be the strongest to get into the Soul Society and then fight for fun.

[jocularly]

Three 'undred...? [He's gonna need to sit down. But she looks like a little girl.] So ye are not human.

[Like a demon? No, they seem different.]

Do ye serve any Master or Mistress? [He nods slowly, awkwardly.] It's good t'have ambitions, I suppose.

Yup, I think in human years it means I'm almost 10. [She is not really sure if that is right but it is a good guess] No, but I think lots of the people back home were humans before they died.

[Less demon and more ghosts that become monsters if they don't go to Soul Society[

No, we have Gramps who is really, really, really, really old. He has super long eyebrows, a real long white beard and a big walking stick. I heard from Ken-chan that Gramps is still really strong even though he's wrinkly and old.

He's like the head of all the Captains. I think we have a king too. I dunno. [She shrugs since she's still a kid and paying attention to politics is boring. Even though she does hold a position of power as a Lieutenant] Gramps once was explaining things but I got bored and drew a picture.

He has the best cookies and green tea. He always has some when I go visit his house. [Well, it's more like breaking into the house than visiting but tomato]
