You must be joking... Really? An island like that? A person like me?

I understand that there's a cast forming, and yes, I do enjoy the company of my friends and colleagues, but while they may be able to handle the setting, my ability to adapt to something that threatens my vascular health is a bit of a questionable aspect, don't you think?

Retsu, no doubt, will be as unhappy with this as I am. I don't need to create more worry for that woman than I do already. But...

But, if you insist, fine. I'll try to have a good attitude about it.

Ah, an island? But that sounds nice Ukitake-san. Like a vacation!

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

Most vacations do not require collars or bi-weekly intimate encounters, Miss Inoue.

[fivetimesover]

Collars? Do you get a pet too? How neat! I wonder which pet Ukitake-san would pick. A cat or a dog or maybe something exotic…

[too preoccupied thinking about cute puppies and kitties to register the last half of that statement :D :D :D]

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

-He can't help but laugh, though. Oh, Orihime. Just... Oh, Orihime.-

I'm not sure about cats, given how much they shed. I think I'd like one of those American Golden Retrievers, though.

[fivetimesover]

That's true, cat fur is hard to clean up I'm sure.
Uwa! Those are so cute and they look very noble. I'm sure it would be a perfect fit!

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

Though they can be a bit energetic and demanding of attention... Maybe something with a more mellow temperament?

[healing_touch]

Captain Ukitake... I take it your mundane has made up their mind?

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

-A sigh.- ... As made up as their mind can get, it seems. The "application" as it were, is almost done already.

[healing_touch]

A pretty good indication, once they have gotten to that point.

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

I apologize in advance for any trouble this might cause.

[healing_touch]

That you need not do. Yet, I fear I will not be as much help there as I am in Seireitei.

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

Ah, w-well... I couldn't ever ask you for that sort of help anyways, ha ha...

[healing_touch]

It is not always as simple as that, in that place.

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

I don't doubt it... but our friendship is something precious to me. I don't want to... taint it.

[healing_touch]

It has survived many things over the years. It will survive many more.

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

That... makes me feel a lot better about all of this, to be honest.

[healing_touch]

There is enough to worry about, without adding more to it, especially when it is unnecessary.

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

Well when you put it that way, it's almost a blow to my ego. -Not that he had any ego when it came to that sort of thing.-

[healing_touch]

It is hardly anything of the sort.

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

I suppose we'll find out, either way. The "application" is done.

[healing_touch]

Time does fly... A month, already.

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

And here I thought at our age that months never felt so long... But I suppose they do when you're apart from the people you care about.

[healing_touch]

Or living a month akin to that of a human.

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

It can't be all that different from a gigai, right?

Though, I suppose it's been a long time since you've been in one of those...
