This is Kenshin's personal city that was given to him by the Soul King himself. A massive undertaking it was making this city, it's the largest one out of all the members of the Royal Guard, as it spans out for miles on end, due to the sheer landscape and fitting all the mountains in the city. The ring itself measures a massive 60 miles, as it's home to several mountains, and a huge variety of wildlife. The main structure itself houses what remains of the Hiroshi clan. However, most of the members of the clan do not posses zanpakuto, they are allowed residence in the palace. This city is also home to the fifth seat of the Royal Guard, Jousake Hiroshi, because of the fact that he's Kenshin's brother and they both believed in living with the rest of their clan in this city.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.кєηѕнιη нιяσѕнι  ⇨ ~ Leadership isn't about speeches or being liked... Enjoying his slumber, Kenshin snored throughout the night, as he needed to get some rest after coming back from his last mission. As the hours passed, night soon became day, as Kenshin slumbered on. However, as time went on, Kenshin slowly but surely awoke from his slumber. Thirty two hours had passed from the moment Kenshin fell asleeping. Sighing, Kenshin got out of bed and looked out his window, as he looked down and saw the residents of his city enjoying the peaceful environment that he was able to bring to them. As he got dressed, Kenshin wondered how the others were doing after returning from their mission.
It worried Kenshin dearly that the threat from the last mission nearly got their hands on a Ōken. This began to spark the question if other individuals outside the realm of the Royal Palace could get as close as those people were able to. Brushing this to the side, Kenshin was fully dressed, as he made his way outside of his apartment and made his way out to the town square, where children were playing among each other and many were just enjoying the fine day that they were having. Smiling, Kenshin was glad to finally return home. "Finally home once more. Sure is good to be back." Thinking to himself, he took a seat right in front of a water fountain, he noticed that some of his family members came by to say hello. Talking to them for hours, he was glad to see everyone in his family was doing okay, as he worried for the safety of his family while he was away on his last mission.
As the time passed, he continued to talk to his family, but was a bit worried that he hadn't seen his younger brother Jousake since they returned from their mission. One of his family members noticed this and assured him that Jousake was just fine. They explained to him that he was beat from his mission and was still resting back at his apartment. Sighing in relief, he continued to talk with his family for quiet some time. He however was still just a bit curious to see how the rest of his comrades were doing, but decided it would be best to catch up with his family first before checking in on the others. ...it's the end result that counts ~ ⇦ ┏xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx┓

 и σ c є ℓ ℓ αxxк υ я є и α ιｃａｒｍｉｎｅxx.ｃａｒｉａｄxx- u o ɯ ǝ pxxx/xxxɐ ɯ ɹ ɐ ʞ -▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂xxxWith a timely leap, Nocella Shunpoed down from the air and onto the edge of Kenshin's ring, having taken the sky path here from her own ring. The walk had been annoying long, but she didn't mind. After all, it wouldn't be good to see two massive rings crashing each other because of close proximity. Though it would certainly be a good idea, and extremely amusing, such a waste of landscape would take months to repair. And she certainly didn't want any dimwit to go crashing into her living space. Not that her own ring had much on it. She hated crowded places, and this huge city was quite to her distaste. People, in general, was to her disliking. Why else would she practically live like a hermit in her own ring?
Mentally grumbling to herself, she began her slow trek towards where she had pinpointed Kenshin's reiatsu. Not very hard to do, considering how much reiatsu the guy stored inside him. Around him were itty-bitty pieces of reiatsu, which she easily figured to be his family. Ugh, she really really hated crowds. Now if they were a crowd of hollows, that was an entirely different story. Or maybe a crowd of dimwits trying to get their hands on an Oken. Now that mission had been one of the best things she had done in a while. A nice stretch of wings from the boring patrolling, daily reports, and slaying hollow ticks in the World of the Living. A girl needed some spice of life in combat. She enjoyed beating the crap out of them little shits. There was always this itch for a strong opponent, that she could never seem to scratch. Oh sure, the Royal Guard could more than appease her need for a strong opponent. However, she got the feeling that the Soul King wouldn't be too happy if they completely obliterated the Royal Palace.
Clutching a bundle of papers to her chest, she edged past the townspeople, looking as meek and harmless as a deer. She really ought to get some glasses to finish off the look. With her petite stature and her huge eyes, anyone would think that Nocella couldn't hurt a fly. Fat chance of that happening. A master deceiver, she's ground that fly into the ground until it was reduced into a minuscule piece of ash. Just like she had hoped, her outward demeanor allowed her no interruptions in her stroll. No one would mistake her for a Royal Guard member, much less a Shinigami. Noce didn't need a whole crowd of people on their knees, paying their respects and worshiping her like a God, or asking for autographs, or whatever the s**t humans wanted from famous people. Well actually, famous would be an insult. Maybe infamous would work better for her. Never seemed to keep people away though. Her old Onmitsukido members knew better. Others didn't. She ought to pike a head outside her lawn to make an example...other than the fact that she didn't have a house, nor a lawn. Even four walls made her claustrophobic, and she lived for the wild.
"God, why did I sign up for this job... she thought sourly. A very rhetorical question, considering the fact that she didn't even need to be here right now. The papers clutched to her chest had been a report that she had worked on all last night. Kenshin neither asked, nor expected a full length report on their previous mission. Out of habit and unwillingness to sleep, she did it anyways. Hell, who gave a s**t. Someone would have to do a report eventually and give it to the Soul King. If it wasn't going to be her, then who else? Probably Kenshin, but she took that load of work off his back. Win-win situation, right? She literally lost sleep over the fact that she didn't do full reports on missions. Some stupid OCD crap that was drilled into her in her Onmitsukido days. Oh, that was some fun stuff. Doing boring reports, training endlessly, doing missions...who the hell had time for sleep? Noce would wager that she was the only one out of the five Royal Guard that didn't catch a wink of sleep last night, no matter how exhausting the mission had been. On the contrary, the recollection of yesterday's events had sent blood pumping through her veins. Oh, the joy of smashing that Visored's face in. All in full, bloody, gory detail in her report. She really hoped Kenshin and the Soul King enjoyed reading that little tidbit...
When Noce finally spotted Kenshin, she leapt into the nearest tree to bid her time. No way was she going to approach him with all those people around him. The corner of her mouth turned down into a frown at the thought. She was contemplating whether to wait it out, or just drop down the report without being seen. You know, like ninja messages. Send it down in a little bamboo box with a smokescreen bomb inside. Once delivered, poof, gone like the wind. Or maybe she should just crumple up all the papers and catapult them at Kenshin's head. Like seriously, catapults were the s**t in the medieval days. Wouldn't that be hilariously fun? Mulling over all her sarcastic options, she decided to go with the former and just wait it out. She could be a real b***h at times, but she knew her place. Wouldn't be fun to embarrass the Ring Leader in fun of his family. Noce wasn't in the mood for a lecture, or being berated. Maybe she'd scratch the bark off the tree while she waited...

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.кєηѕнιη нιяσѕнι⇨ ~ Leadership isn't about speeches or being liked... As Kenshin resumed talking, the thought of checking in on his comrades continued to ponder on in his head. Sighing again, he was soon distracted, as he detected the spiritual pressure of a familiar person. "Noci." Recognizing this spiritual pressure being that of one of his comrades, he was at ease knowing that one of his comrades was doing alright after their last mission. However, Kenshin was as concerned with Noci than he was with the others, as she seemed to enjoy this mission more than the others, especially when she beat down that vizard fellow. Sighing, he knew that she was going to take her time coming over to Kenshin, so he continued to have his talk with his family members.
As they continued to talk for quite some time, he noticed that Noci had found herself a nice spot right on top of a tree. Typical for her to do a move like that, as it was apparent that she wasn't a big fan of being around people. No matter, Kenshin stayed with his family just a bit longer, as the day was slowly turning to night. Once it started to get close to dusk, his family said their good-byes and invited Kenshin over to dinner later on at night. He gladly accepted and said good-bye to the rest of his family, as they all went on over to prepare a feast in return of their clan's figurehead. Sighing, he then got up and looked around, as he took a moment to enjoy the city he was able to create for his family and for himself. No matter, he had other matters of business to attend to.
Using shunpu, Kenshin appeared next to Noci, standing on top of a stable branch that could support the weight of the two. "Hey Noci. What brings you over here to my ring on this fine evening?" He then paused for a moment, as he stopped himself from asking about the mission they just returned from. Chances were she probably made her way over to Kenshin's city to Ellipsis to hand in her report from the mission. She usually was the one to do this kind of thing, so it would certainly be a relief if she did a report on the mission already. He remained quiet, as he waited for Noci's response. ...it's the end result that counts ~ ⇦ ┏xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx┓

и σ c є ℓ ℓ αxxк υ я є и α ιｃａｒｍｉｎｅxx.ｃａｒｉａｄxx- u o ɯ ǝ pxxx/xxxɐ ɯ ɹ ɐ ʞ -▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂xxxNoce yawned as she watched Kenshin's family members leave. Toodles and good riddance. Speaking of which, dinner would be nice right now. She hadn't had a good meal, unless you counted that awesome shower of blood that rained down on her when she dug her blade into the Visored's arm. That had been a nice fountain of spray, considering that it had launched about five feet into the air. The tip of her blade had sliced right down the path of an artery, which was artistry in itself, and an even better sight to behold. Anyways, what was she thinking about? Oh yes, food. Noce never failed in distracting herself with other thoughts. But then again, why bore herself with reality, when fantasy was so much better? Her sadistic fantasies never failed to send a tingle down her spine. Partially the reason why she made such detailed reports. What better way to relive a brutal mission than to write it all down in vivid detail? Some would criticize her for this, but she had a fine talent of giving some nice imagery through writing. Though she was far from the skill of a novelist, her memory never let a single detail skip past the report.
As the weight of the branch tipped to the left, so did the incline of her head as she heard her disgusting nickname. Noci. Sounded way too cute and endearing. Ew, there were few people in the world that could call her that without minding, and Kenshin was not one of them. Far from it actually. She made no move to scold him though, as she handed over her folder of papers that contained her report. "A marriage proposal. Just sign on the bottom." she said sardonically. A bad pun, but a pun nonetheless. Fortunately for him, it was only twenty five pages full of a bunch of idiots trying to make an Oken. Extremely ironic, considering that six "Oken" were right in front of them the entire time. Like, holy s**t, talk about karma. You try to resurrect something and it comes to shove a sword up your a**. Oh, the irony. Just thinking about it nearly made her laugh aloud.
"That all you need, Cap'n?" she drawled, inspecting her nails like she didn't have a care in the world. She was itching to get out of this city and go find some action. Either that, or a quiet place to stay. Ugh, who could stand all this clamor and noise? With a sigh, she flipped her hair over her shoulder, tossing her head like some prom queen. Just another one of her multiple personalities. To be honest, all this covertness and conning had become a really bad habit for her. She didn't even know the difference between how she should act, and how she did act anymore. Just another thing to watch out from her. With a stretch and yawn that looked increasingly catlike, she swung to a different branch and perched there, waiting for him to skim the report or dismiss her...whatever came first. Oh yeah, absolutely charismatic. Quite frankly, she was all business and not one for small talk. Charming.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.кєηѕнιη нιяσѕнι⇨ ~ Leadership isn't about speeches or being liked... Kenshin smirked as he heard Noci's sarcastic remark to his question. No matter, he grabbed the report that she wrote up and skimmed through it. As usual, it was a flawless report, though it had a bit to much detail on the misfortune on that vizard fellow. No matter, Kenshin slid this report inside a concealed pocket inside his suit jacket and looked back at Noci. "This report looks good so far. Though I'll have more time to go over this report once we can say good bye to our guests." Kenshin was of course talking about the members of the Gotei 13 that were brought to his ring to recover from their wounds after their battle with those disgruntled shinigami. Although this was a violation of protocol for the Royal Guard to do so, he needed to speak to their Commander about the events that had just occurred.
Sighing, he then paused for a moment before answering to Noci's question. "I think that will be it for now. Though do you know the status of those captains we brought with us to recover from their injuries? After all, they really took a beating that the fourth division couldn't completely heal. Afterall, we can't have that happening now can we? We'd have to step in for the Gotei 13 for nearly everything." Finishing with what he had to say, Kenshin sat down on the branch, as he looked around and continued to wonder how the others were doing after returning home. They all seemed beat, with the exception of Noci, who worried Kenshin a bit, as he was beginning to think that she should take some much needed rest.
"Say Noci, shouldn't you go on and get some rest? i'd imagine you must be tired considering you were able to write me up this report. It's obvious you stood up for quite some time writing up this report, so why don't you go on and take some rest? I can organize a debrief with the others once we can send those members of the Gotei 13 back to the Seireitei." Kenshin doubted that she would go on and get some rest, but he wouldn't be surprised if she left to get away from all the people who were living in Kenshin's ring. He knew she wasn't a big fan of large crowds, so he was simply just making things comfortable for his comrade. ...it's the end result that counts ~ ⇦ ┏xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx┓

Ugh, she couldn't imagine why the members of the Gotei were all being holed up in here. It was just another thorn in the side, and she knew the Soul King would not be happy with that. After all, if three Shinigami had just defected on their last mission, who's to say that the "injured" members of the Gotei wouldn't have another traitor in their midst. Come on, like Aizen and his Oken plan had absolutely nothing to do with this follow up coincidence. Nocella would have gladly bashed her head on the ground in the furious stupor of stupidity displayed in front of her. Tactful as always. But she supposed that she was being hypocritical, noting the fact that she really didn't mind if the Gotei were now stationary here. Any suspicious movements from them, or even a glance at the Soul King Palace...swipe. A nice tear through the jugular and the weather in the Royal Palace would turn from sunny, to coppery rain. Ooh, now there was a fun idea.
Noce started whistling to herself as he told her that she was dismissed. "Aye aye Cap'n." she replied, only to be interrupted by his follow up of the condition of the Gotei 13. "Naw, should I care about their status?" she said callously, continuing with her impersonation of her drawl. She wished she had a cigarette to complete the look. "Ain't nothin better than falling on a bloodsoaked battlefield of glory. An' if they do fall, that's their own folly. Y'know Leonard Darwin? Son of Charles Darwin, and a famous quote by him is: 'Of all the problems which will have to be faced in the future, in my opinion, the most difficult will be those concerning the treatment of the inferior races of mankind.' Tough luck, but those that don't survive, are probably not the ones that are meant to survive." she sighed.
In all actuality, the really didn't care about the well being of the Gotei. They could take care of themselves...and if they couldn't, well why the hell become a Captain in the first place? Bull. s**t. Take your a** and go ship yourself off to Antarctica. Besides, with the Gotei gone and incapacitated, it would be exactly as Kenshin said. The Royal Guard would have to take over the Gotei 13 and then what? Lo and behold, argh, avast ye pirates! Bountiful throats to cut, hollows to slay, evildoers to punish...who had time for anything else? Oh, how she loved the thrills of life. Staying cooped up in a building doing reports was no life for this girl. She was like a ticking time bomb about to explode, and penting her up in some palace wasn't going to do any good for her, even if she was really good at hiding the ticker. Noce really hoped that this Oken thing wasn't a one time thing, as it had been the most fun that she had had in months. If she was lucky, the gut feeling in the pit of her stomach was an itch of danger...foreshadowing...the impending pendulum of a crisis. A sign of some apocalypse to come. Maybe she was paranoid, or maybe she really was just insane, but you never dismissed a gut feeling out of logic.
Doing a double whistle, she fell backwards off the branch and swung around it to grapple the limb with both forearms, leaning on it like it was the back of a chair. "The day I take a break from my duties is the day my genius brain mentally combusts." she said, pursing her lips. Disappearing via Shunpo, she appeared behind the trunk of the tree, adjacent to Kenshin so she was out of sight. "I'll be watching in the shadows." she commented, clicking her tongue as she referred to more possible traitors within their ranks, both inside and outside the Royal Guard. "Buuuut..." she paused, flitting around once more with a Shunpo. She appeared next to Kenshin, lifting up her pointer finger. "...anyone needs healing, ya know where to find me." Smirking with a knowing smile, she jabbed him in three different places on his arm with her fingertip, referring to her notorious Shikai ability of healing people. With a final Shunpo, she reappeared on the tallest branch, having the entire tree bend over with her weight as she blew Kenshin a kiss and flashed the peace sign. As a breeze flowed through the area, the flirtatious woman suddenly disappeared, as if stolen by the wind.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.נσυsαкє нιяσѕнι ▭ "You don’t have to force a party." As the day started to turn to dusk, Jousake decided to take a break, as he got another long day of healing those captains who needed healing. "Alright guys, you're still not completely healed yet, so please don't use your zanpakuto's and please try to refrain from getting involved in combat." Taking off his medical equipment and putting on his usual outfit, he got out of the building where the captains were healing and left to roam around the streets of the Hiroshi stronghold. He had a content look on his face, as he was finally glad to be back home with the rest of his clan and his comrades in one piece after facing those traitors.
He was exhausted along with the other members of the Royal Guard and the Gotei 13, but didn't get much sleep due to the fact that he had to stay up and work on healing those captains who needed emergency recovery from their injuries. Roaming the streets, he waved at many of his clans members and the other locals who called this place home, as they were all glad to see him back home safe and sound. No matter, Jousake looked around, as he was trying to find his older brother, as he felt the need to talk to him about their last mission. This not only took a huge toll on Jousake, but also on the Gotei 13, which greatly concerned Jousake.
As he roamed the city, he finally made his way to the town square and found his older brother sitting on a branch on top of a tree. Looking at the tree, he yelled out loud to Kenshin. "Yo Kenshin! The hell are you doing on top of that tree brother? Come on down here man! I need to talk to you for a sec!" Smirking, he then noticed that his brother was standing right next to him. The two then sat down in front of the fountain that was in the town square and the two began to talk about the events that occurred recently. The two did share the same concerns in regards to those traitors and how close they were to getting their hands on a Ōken. Thankfully they were stopped by the efforts of the Royal Guard and the Gotei 13 before things got out of hand.
After talking for quite some time, Kenshin said good bye to his brother and told him about the dinner that his family was holding, as a welcome feast for the two to return safely. "Sure thing man. I'll see you in a hour roughly. Just make sure that you guys don't start any serious parties without me being there, alright bro?" Smiling, he waved good bye, as he looked up at the sky and enjoyed the sunset, as he decided to take a moment to just relax and take things easy at the moment and enjoy this moment of peace while he had the time. "Just love life and the party happens effortlessly." ▭ ┏xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx┓

As the sun began to show behind the beautiful horizon one thing only crossed Rias mind, the battle that had taken place on the Gotei 13 but a mere few days ago. Rias was among the few that were rescued by Kenshin and brought to the Soul's King palace for recovery, so lucky they were of been alive unlike some of their comrades who had withered to the blades of the enemy. Rias looked out her window and spotted both Hiroshi brothers speaking near the fountain just sitting there with a certain worried look on both the faces, there was no guess as to why the conversation was about at that point but the events at hand.
It had been but a few hours after the remarkable full recovery of Rias although her body was aching from the battle, furthermore the screams of her fallen comrades continued to echo through her head like an unstoppable noise been replayed on her mind by some demon who enjoyed her suffering. As the breeze began to pick up playfully swaying her hair from side to side Rias decided that it was in order for her to thank Kenshin and his brother for all the effort they had placed into rescuing her and the other captains.
Rias went down the large amount of stairs from the chambers were she was staying to the streets, It wasn't indeed the first time she had seen the area but she was still new t the streets and concepts of the place. She walked slowly due to her body aches and fragile body, once she reached the fountain she stood a few feet away of the 2 respecting their conversation and as to not mettle in what could of bee private matters. As Jousuke began to walk away Rias made her way towards him stopping roughly a few feet away from his location in front of the man.
"Ohayō Jousuke-san I am sorry to interrupt your rest so abruptly but I wanted to thank you personally for your help back at the Soul Society. I am Rias Gremory Bloodraven Squad 6 Captain I believe we met once before during a meeting back at the Gotei 13." Rias spoke in a kind and considerate tone as she bowed at the man in sign of respect and gratitude. Rias knew little about Jousuke to be honest but they had exchanged a few words back before. Rias regained her posture after bowing looking at Jousuke in the eyes awaiting for his response.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.נσυsαкє нιяσѕнι▭ "You don’t have to force a party." As Ken left, Jousake remained observant of the sky as it slowly turned to dusk. The beautiful sunset brought Jousake's mind to ease, as he was glad to finally return back home after that rather troublesome threat that hit the Gotei 13. No matter, he remained relaxed while sitting down on the bench that was in front of the fountain. However, he soon heard the voice of a young woman. Looking down, he noticed that it was the voice of one of the captains that he was helping return to her original strength. He listened as she introduced herself to Jousake and showed her gratitude for saving her. Jousake looked at the captain and couldn't help but notice that fact that she was being a bit to formal and respectful.
Smiling, he looked up and began to speak to the captain. "There's no need to be so formal with me Rias. Besides, I was only doing my job. It wasn't that much of a problem for me anyways. Besides, as long as you and your comrades are doing just fine, I feel like I did my job properly." Pausing for a moment, he noticed that she was standing relatively far from him, as it seemed that she was a bit shy or was just keeping a respectful distance between the two. Sighing, Jousake wasn't familiar to this kind of treatment before. On several occasions in the past, he's dealt with people who give him this level of respect and treatment that he wasn't to fond of mostly because of the fact that he was a member of the Royal Guard.
Regardless, this was something Jousake grew used to over the millennia, as he became used to being a member of the Royal Guard. "Hey, ease up a bit won't ya? You don't have to be so respectful around me. I mean come on. The night's just about to begin, people are enjoying the return of the two fabled Hiroshi brothers, and the fact that we all made it back safely home!" Getting up, he walked over to Rias and grabbed a hold of her right hand. "Come on! Why don't you tag along with me for the night and get to know each other? I mean you're going to be staying here for a while so why not spend some time to know more about your rescuer?" With a honest smile, he started to make his way along the streets, as he was going to head on over to the main feast that was going on at Ellipsis. "Just love life and the party happens effortlessly." ▭ ┏xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx┓

Rias listened to Jousuke closely almost astonished as how nonchalant he was for the most, he seemed nothing like one would expect out of a Royal Guard soldier but this was indeed a good trait. As he grasped her hand and spoke about hanging for the rest of the day and getting to know him better Rias face reddened a bit, she was not use to people been so friendly and warm towards her on the contrary most people avoided her due to her scary aura and fighting style. "Umm..Sure" Rias said with a shy and kind tone as she followed the man closely.
It was indeed a nice ambiance on this place one that would have to end sooner or later but for now it suited the night quite nicely, the temperature was quite interesting due to the wind that would occasionally blow messing with Rias's hair almost swaying towards Jousuke's face. "So Jousuke-san how is it living in such place as this?" Rias asked with a kind and polite tone as she was rather curious what kind of lifestyle this people carried.
Rias was still shocked by the response she had gotten from Jousuke and her head seemed to keep pondering as to why this man was so nice and friendly, after all he had gone through a lot of trouble just to save her and the rest of the captains how could he be so nonchalant about the whole thing. Whatsoever it was a nice view and getting to make new friends even under such conditions was rather pleasant, at least she sure was hoping so. As they walked through the streets magnificent sights of kids playing and people chanting could be heard , it almost resembled a festival on the springs days when Rias was still alive she could not help but feel nostalgic about the whole thing but she hid it well while she tighten her grip on Jousuke carefully as to not harm him.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.נσυsαкє нιяσѕнι▭ "You don’t have to force a party." Jousake smiled, as Rias accepted his invitation to hang out for a while. He noticed that she was still relatively shy and sounded a bit hesitant, but hopefully her mood would lighten up once they arrived at the feast. Looking around and waving at the children who were excited to see Jousake back home, he stopped for a moment and said hello to those happy children. It brighten Jousake's face seeing those kids in such a good mood and gave them all some candy before saying good bye to those children.
Then returning his attention to Rias, he answered her question that she asked him earlier in regards to living in this marvelous town. "I personally love it. Not only do I get the chance to finally be back together with all of my family members." Pausing for a moment, he thought back on the hardships the Hiroshi clan has faced throughout the ages. Sighing, he looked back up at Rias and resumed speaking. "These people have been through a lot, so it makes me glad seeing them enjoying this peaceful environment my brother was able to create for them."
Smiling, he continued to walk alongside with Rias, as he was getting excited for the feast that was being held in honor of the Hiroshi brothers. As the two continued to walk along the streets of Ellipsis, Jousake was curious to know more about Rias and what type of person she was, so he figured he should get the balls and ask her. "So how about you? How's living in the Seireitei holding up for you? I haven't been there in quite some time, so I'm not to certain how things were before that problem hit you guys earlier." With that, he continued to walk, waiting for her answer, as he was eager to know more about this captain. "Just love life and the party happens effortlessly." ▭ ┏xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx┓

Rias kept her eyes on Jousuke the whole time scanning his every move, indeed this man was so kind hearted and nice it was almost odd. It was whatsoever pleasant to see someone so happy to be alive and make everyone who lives around him life a little better with his kindness, as he spoke the pause on his sentences would reference there was something in his past that bothered him which was confirmed with his second statement. This brought more puzzle to Rias as to how someone who had gone through such pain and suffering could be so carefree and kind without letting remorse eat him inside, he was a remarkable kind of man it would seem.
Rias continued to walk next to him, it would seem they were headed towards Ellipsis, but why would they be going there out of all places. Rias noticed the people whispering among each other about who she was and why was she holding Jousuke's hand like that, Rias could not help but blush a bit at the comments since it was obvious that Jousuke was attractive and kind of an idol in this place. Turning back towards Jousuke she listened to his question closely her face turned a bit gloomy for a moment remembering her friend who had died and the rest of the fallen comrades from that dreadful fight.
"Well living in the Seretei has been pretty overwhelming for me, I was never used to that kind of life and the fact I have been there for a short amount of time truly does not help. Whatsoever I do enjoy the company of the people of the Seretei and occasionally visit my old friend on the Rukongai." Indeed it had been not nearly enough time for her to feel comfortable doing what she did, but as a shinigami she had a goal and that was to defend all the souls of the Soul Society, and she also had an oath to herself to avenge her friend's death but it was proving to be rather difficult. As Rias finished talking and pondering she look upwards at Jousuke and smiled kindly at him before focusing on the road again.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.נσυsαкє нιяσѕнι▭ "You don’t have to force a party." "Huh. Thank God I don't live in the Seireitei right now. Sounds like a pretty boring place to be. Besides, it sounds quite stressful by the sound of it." Chuckling, he was being a bit sarcastic about his first remark, as he honestly had no problem with the Seireitei but preferred his home in the Royal Palace any day. No matter, he continued to walk with Rias down the streets, as they were getting close to the feast. As they were approaching the feast, the sounds of music being played by the locals and children running around ever so innocently made it clear that they were getting close. The streets were adorned with several Kangetsu-kai lanterns all over the streets and a beautiful display of flowers were being displayed by the shop owners and residents of the city.
"Welcome to Ellipsis Rias! This is why I love living here over any other place. There's a party every single night and the people are just marvelous!" A big smile could been seen on Jousake's face, as he was enjoying the start of this marvelous feast. He grabbed Rias right hand once more and began to rush over to a rather large building with her. "Come on now! Let's go ahead and enjoy the feast while we still can!" Laughing, he walked right inside the dining hall and was greeted by a large welcoming party, who set up signs for both himself but his brother and for the others who made it back home safely. He led Rias over to the back of the dining hall, where there was a elevated eating area that was reserved for the Royal Guard and their guests. Naturally the others hadn't shown up yet, so Jousake set up the area for just the two of them to get to know each other.
"So Rias, when are you going to lighten up a bit and enjoy the party? I have yet to see you smile during this time of celebration! Come on! Be glad that you made it back safely and that you've been blesses with this opportunity to rest at the Royal Palace!" Speaking with such enthusiasm, he called over a waiter and asked for a large bento box to be delivered for the two to share with one another along with some sake. Smiling, he then waited to see if Rias would lighten up and enjoy the grand feast that was being held in their honor.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.кєηѕнιη нιяσѕнι⇨ ~ Leadership isn't about speeches or being liked... Kenshin soon arrived, as he was greeted by the welcoming party. He gave the audience a modest smile, as he was humbled by the appreciation that his clan had for him. Looking around, he was impressed at the gratitude his clan had for all of what he and his younger brother have done for the clan and for the greater good. Looking around for his brother, he finally found his brother up at the elevated eating area with a female captain. Smirking, he knew that he should give his brother some space for quite some time, as it seemed that he was pretty intrigued with this woman.
Being that this was the case, Kenshin started to think on ways to kill time while he brother was busy with that captain. Although he wasn't to fond on parties on this scale, he decided to let loose for a bit and sit down with some family members for a while. They seemed quite excited to see the man of the hour at their table and started to talk to him. Enjoying himself, he started to drink a few shots of sake with those people he was with his family. Laughing, he was having a good time, as he waited for the rest of the Royal Guard and those captains who were recovering in his ring to arrive at the party. It was clear that it was going to a while for the others to appear, so he decided to enjoy the moment while he still could. ...it's the end result that counts ~ ⇦ ┏xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx┓
