XXXXX Tanji enters the teahouse as he is in the midst of a big yawn, and nonchalantly makes his way over to a window seat, seemingly not even noticing the path of destruction that had crashed it's way through the tea house but moments before he entered. After sitting down at a reserved window booth, Tanji lets out another yawn as he slumps down to rest his head on the table he is seated at. Shortly after his face makes contact with the surface of the table, Tanji starts loudly snoring as he seems to instantly fall asleep at his table.

"I guess I shouldn't hold back in this fight": Offensive Fighting Style (currently +10)
The short time Niru had spent in the academy training had been more than enough for one day. He hated such mindless practice, even if he was rusty at kidou. He had been quite adept at the demon arts when he had been in the 5th division, but laziness had rendered him unpracticed and rusty. Much better to spend his time relaxing and sipping tea, than mindlessly casting away with the sweaty masses of poorly-dressed shinigami.
He entered the Tea house as if his feet did not touch the ground. His entrance turned heads, as it always did, his beautiful kimono flowing behind him, as if carried by some invisible wind, the silk fabric shining in the low light of the tea house. He looked around, trying to find an empty table. There seemed to be some sort of commotion going on here, though he was unsure of the nature of it. It didn’t seem to be anything to be concerned about, and even if it was, there were other ranked shinigami here who could handle such a menial task as breaking up a fight. He was here for tea and nothing more.
As always, Niru was the best-dressed person in the room, his robes outshining even the beautiful robes worn by some of the female ranked shinigami. He was not one to be outdone.
He found a table in a corner, and made his way to it, taking a seat and resting his chin in his hand, watching the commotion with a bored expression. A waitress made her way to him, asking him what he would like to drink.
”I’ll have a hibiscus tea. With honey, darling.” he said, with a fake smile, as the waitress scurried off to fill his order. He made sure to set aside a few ryo for a tip. He had been a waiter once, before he had been scouted by the Seretei. He knew how hard these girls worked, and the things they had to deal with.
His long fingernails tapped against the wood of the table, absent-mindedly, as he waited. He did not have to wait for long. Within a few minutes, the waitress was back with a steaming cup. He nodded his thanks and slipped the girl 100 ryo. He had the money to spare, and it was always a good idea to make nice with the service workers. That was how a reputation was formed.
As the waitress stammered her thanks, he merely nodded, and waved a hand to bid her to leave. He looked down into his cup, admiring the light pink color, and the floral scent of the tea. It was a thing of beauty. He took a sip, closing his eyes and enjoying the flavor for a moment before swallowing.
Niru was grateful for the free time. He wasn’t even ducking his work, he simply had nothing that required his attention today. It was nice to spend such days in a place such as this. Though a few of the patrons stared at him, obviously admiring his ornate clothing, he did not seem to notice. Instead he studied the gathering of shinigami, trying to figure out exactly what was going on, if just to sate his curiosity.

XXXIKit was starting to think she was just cursed today, surely the worst thing to happen was ending. She tried to work to catch her balance but knew the fall was unavoidable, or so she thought. Within a few moments something crashed through the ceiling and a broken chair was flung to her. She winced as she landed on it and from the damage already done it creaked and caved under her. She looked over to see where the chair had come from only to see the full chaos. Her pale blue eyes widened as she saw the mess and an unknown man at the center. She was not familiar with the man but from his words she realized he had done that on purpose while recovering from a landing? Just who was this man? She realized he knew Ikasu and frowned. Wait what had he just said? Pleasant to the ...eyes? She repeated in her head as she felt her face heat as she glared at him. She clenched her jaw as she mused on the fact, he used such a line to every woman in the place. Did he really think that made it a good thing? Looks must be all someone like him went for. For a split second their eyes met before she huffed and looked away. They were related then? She bit back a sigh, offering money to repair the damage was not a bad thing to do. She should offer to pay for the mess she caused but at least it was not as bad as this one.
Kit flickered her gaze to the other woman who saved the waitress and sighed. She noted she for sure heard that comment as well. She wondered if any of them actually were flattered by that? Still maybe they would forget about her mess and pay more attention to the one who made a hole in the ceiling. Kit made mental notes to ask about how much she could pay for what was her fault. It took a few moments for her to realize she was still sitting on the floor with the broken chair. She knew this was going to be fun getting up from, she could see where some of the tea had gotten on her pants. Well, it sort of served her right.
All thoughts of her outfit and mess she had made halted as she realized he had answered her. Wait, date? He said date? She looked up at Osano, face flushed brightly as she struggled to find her words. Ah idiot say something, he is waiting on ...something She scolded herself. Okay? She glanced down at herself and the chair and sighed. ” O-oh... Uh yes... I am... I think I am ok. He did one thing right I suppose... And uh... ab-about that uh... returning favor. I mean... Sure... Seems only fair” She told him softly, still blushing brightly. Why was she blushing? This was not something she was used to, feeling bashful. Then again, she did just make a fool of herself in front of everyone. ” It seems... I am having a very off day. I am sorry for ...starting this messy chain of events.” She said after she managed to regain her nerve and voice. For a few seconds Kit looked past Osano as more people came in, one did not seem to notice the disaster going on and just went to sleep? The other seemed to have an air of arrogance and he too did not notice the hole in the ceiling. Still neither of them was interesting enough to keep her attention for long. She flickered her pale eyes back to Osano as she shifted herself to start getting up. ” I uh... I.. t-tea? Right... do.. Do you want a snack or something to? I also.. Need to pay for the mess I made. Maybe I could volunteer to make up for it so that poor girl can have a day off. Oh uh... eh-he I... can imagine what you are thinking with that. Normally I am... not like this. I... Do not usually interact with people. ” She admitted, rambling a little. Ugh why did she care what he thought? Did she? No! Yes... maybe? He seemed the most nice out of the bunch for sure. It was only right she explain after ruining his tea. ” Ahem. So what.. Is your favorite kind?” She asked him after a moment, trying to hide the fact her face was so red.
"Wasnt this quite casual though? There wasn't even any fire this time. I dare say, an improvement over the last few for sure." Kreios says as he gestures to the destruction that he had caused behind him absently, his golden gaze not even glancing back to really look at the outcome after the dust had finally settled itself. He smiles downwards at the young kid, Tsubaki as she asks about food and pancakes and what not. Though he hadn't really planned to barge in here, he figured that it wouldn't hurt to snag a free meal from Ikasu. Kreios takes a casual step forwards leaning in towards Ikasu as if he was intended to say a secret before he would speak in a normal if not even slightly louder then normal volume, with the back of his hand pressed up by his lips so that those that his palm was facing couldn't see his lips move. "You're with a rather up tight group today don't you think? I arrive.. One goes tumbling to the ground, another grabs their weapon.. PTSD maybe? Shame. Boyfriend of the falling one death glaring at me like I'M the cause!" He pauses as he lowers his hand to then gesture across the room at the shinigami that had walked in and immediately fallen asleep at another table. "Everybody's gotta relax more like this guy. Not a care in the world, just looking for a comfy seat!" He says, before turning and making a rather exaggerated lazy salute in the direction of the sleeping male and then turning his attention back onto the group of Shinigami that he had quite literally barged into the middle of. His golden gaze gleaming with nothing less then mischief as a carefree smile forms itself across his face. "I've never been here before.. Think they offer anything stronger then watered down leaves? Could really get this party going, maybe get some mistakes happening eh? Eh?" Kreios finally says as he walks away from Ikasu, grabbing a nearby chair with a rather fluid motion and sliding it across the floor to come to rest right before the purple haired shinigami that had just relaxed enough to release her weapon from her hands. One of his legs stepping over the chair as it slides to a stop, so that he would immediately sit down with the back of the chair covering his chest, his arms resting over the back of the chair as he leans over it slightly, golden eyes watching the purple haired shinobi intently. "So.. Whats your name?" He says while winking one eye, his right eye to be specific, only to reveal more of the same strange runic lettering to be covering every the eyelid itself like it did the rest of that side of his face.

Ikasu smirks as his cousin makes his quips then leaves to flirt with the newcomer. As he walks past, he slips him a bottle of Nakamura Sake - the most top shelf sake available in his opinion. Of course he is biased. 'Hm, I did not know that about him. Well, I suppose that shouldn't surprise me too much. He wouldn't be the first relative to swing both ways,' he ponders, continuing to grin like a Cheshire cat. He flashes a wicked smile at Osano and Kit. "You two love birds look like you are off to a fine start. I'll give you some space to allow the adorableness to continue naturally." He gently ushers Tsubaki back towards their table, but then quickly diverts to Tanji's table. "Tanji-kun~! Watashi no shin'yū!" he says cheerfully and plops down in the chair next to him. "How's my best friend?" Tsubaki hops out of her chair and climbs up onto a chair at the same table as Tanji and Ikasu. "Tanji-oji! Yay! You came to join us for dinner!" she cheers.
Tora walks into the tea house and looks around for her fiance. As she looks around she notices several staff members cleaning up the hole she had noticed from the outside, the cause of the hole apparently flirting with an over dressed man who could be either returning from a kabuki or trying to impress somebody. Too showy for her tastes, but if it makes him feel happy who is she to judge? Maybe he just wants to look pretty. Whatever the case may be, she heads over to where Tanji is seated and stops short. Ikasu. Is. Crashing. Her. Date. "Konbanwa, Tanji-sama! Konbanwa .... Onīsama ... Konbanwa, Tsu-chan!" She smiles down at the cheerful child and gives her a return hug and sets her back in her seat. "Tanji-sama, you didn't tell me that you were going to invite my brother and his daughter to our ... dinner ... um ... meeting." Despite the fact that she has told their father and stepmother, she is still reluctant to tell Ikasu for fear that he'll go on a tangent about how no man is worthy of his little sister or do something completely embarrassing. Still, she is screwing up the courage to tell him and figure out how to deal with his inevitable unpredictable reaction.

✦ Kit wasn’t the only one having an off day. Hibiki was dumbfounded as two more patrons entered the tea house, the both of them acting like there was not a massive crater in the ceiling. Though it was even more surprising the waitress was still taking orders, which made the Shinigami question if this sort of thing was common for them. This place was getting too crowded and rambunctious for Hibiki. She had just wanted a peaceful hour or two to sip her tea quietly and spend away from the detention center. But instead, her lack of control for the flash step had spilled tea all over herself and a superior officer. She would have left by now to head to Shino’o to go finishing master the technique by now. But now she was a witness in the property damage. So, it seemed like none of her plans were going accordingly today.
She would raise an eyebrow from his comment, finding it distasteful he would call her precaution a sign of PTSD. He had literally crashed through the roof of a civilian establishment and she was the strange one for preparing for hostilities? If anything, the lack of similar reactions amongst the tea house was concerning to Hibiki. It was clear many of these people didn’t deal with assassinations like she had, or they would all be on guard like she was. The third seat would let out a deep sigh, straightening her posture and running a hand behind both her twintails, flipping them back behind her uniform. A thing she did when she was annoyed. The 2nd division had instilled a strict perspective of how a soul reaper was to behave in her. As an assassin, she was to be a soldier, her orders to be so absolute they would be the blood which flowed through her veins. To be one of the Seireitai 13 was an honor, and not to be taken lightly. A Shinigami was to be respectable, proud to uphold the values of the organization. Protect the soul society and her people and to eliminate all threats. So, it would come as no surprise when Hibiki saw people doing just the opposite of this, it didn’t put her in the best of moods.
She would keep her cold gaze on Kreios as he now pulled up a seat beside her, her head tilting downwards to meet his. She might have been jumpy when he first entered but now, she was locked on him, and she wouldn’t be slipped up by little antics. The features of his face were something which puzzled her. It appeared like writing was tattooed all over right side, though she did not recognize the script. It even obstructed his eye? A strange thing indeed for her, though Hibiki knew better than to just pass it off so simply. There was something suspicious about those runes that Hibiki would take note of.
He would ask her name, the purple haired shinigami crossing her arms over her chest while introducing herself, “My name is Hibiki Kodou, Third Seat of the Second Division and Corps Commander of the Detention Unit. Would you be kind enough to do me the honor of stating your name and title as well?” her magenta eyes would drift up to the ceiling for a split second before focusing back on his golden ones. Eager to find out who this crash-lander exactly was.
Reiatsu 272 | Speed 42 | Strength 60 | Defense 40 | Stamina 60 | Intelligence 20 | Spiritual Power 50 Osano turns to watch the two that enter, both of them ignoring the current mess, one going to sleep, the other ordering tea and just watching, before turning back and answering the Shinigami he still does not know the name of. “Things happen, it wasn’t your fault. It isn’t like you purposefully tripped into me. It is just a series of unfortunate accidents, not anyone’s fault.” He offers his hand to help when she goes to get up. “No need to pay for me a snack as well. And as for what I am thinking with that, is that you are sweet and kind, to want to make up for the trouble today’s events have had on the waitress. As well as the fact that you want to replace a stranger’s tea that was spilled.” He gives here a small grin after that, as well as doing his best to phrase what he says so that the statements aren’t putting her at fault for anything that has happened. When she asks about his favorite type of tea, he has to think for a bit. “Bergamot and lavender. I like the mint flavor combined with how it relaxes the drinker.” He then notices the Shinigami with the loud entrance continue to make a fool of himself by asking if the tea house served alcohol and sighs. “Although, with several of the others who have just entered, seems like there won’t be much relaxing here.”

XXXXX Sleeping heavily and snoring loud enough to not notice Ikasu and Tsubaki sit next to him and try to speak to him, Tanji doesn't seem to wake up until he hears Tora saying something about inviting her brother. He then rubs his eyes and says "Huh? I reserved a table just for the two of us, and didn't tell anyone specifically to have a date where we could get away from him. Besides why would I invite him to our little celebration for getting engaged if he's not even suppose to know we were dating." as he sits up from laying facedown on the table. After he finishes rubbing his eyes he turns to look around the room because he feels a draft, pausing for a second as he makes eye contact with Ikasu and realizes he was right next to him as he said all that. Without saying anything to Ikasu, Tanji then turns back to Tora and says "Can you believe someone busted a hole in this building's roof the same day we come here for dinner? What are the odds of that?" in a likely vain attempt to ignore the fact that not only was Ikasu crashing their date but just heard about his and Tora's relationship (including their recent engagement) straight from Tanji's own friggen mouth.

XXXTsubaki's eye twitched a little as she took in everything that was happening around her. First the spilled tea from the falling waitress that got on her, and not even a minute later suddenly someone dropped in the roof, causing a rather large opening in the roof and only a few people seemed to even care. What in the world was even going on? She noticed that people were separating off into their own groups and sighed as she stuck by Kitiara. Though, once the seeming flirting started she started to feel a little awkward. Perhaps she could leave without being noticed? She surveyed everything again and got rather annoyed that two new people who entered didn't care to even give the hole a second look. Just how many Shinigami would be completely useless if anything happened to the Seireitei? Obviously these people who are supposed to be in seated positions would be useless if this was their attitude about a giant hole in the ceiling from an unknown to them as they appeared afterwards. What did they think? That it was a design choice by the establishment? Just how dense could they be? Groaning a little, she rubbed her temples as a pounding headache started behind her temples. She needed to leave and get some time to herself to get rid of this headache and start figuring out what she could do to make sure that her squad would never embarrass her or themselves like the others. One was even supposed to be a lieutenant like herself for crying out loud! "I'm sorry Kit but we will have to have our chat another time. Things are getting well out of hand and I am getting a rather massive headache right now. I will see you back at the squad." She said before making her way to the door. If Kit chose to follow her then she wouldn't object, but she needed to leave at the moment. Perhaps go play her flute to calm her nerves before she had a talk with the squad. Oh of all the times for her captain to have left. If he ever came back he'd be so embarrassed by the state of the squads at the moment. Only a few were aware or even cared. Obviously the rest of the squads had gotten lazy and needed to be whipped back into shape. She would bring that up with the Captain Commander at some point. For the moment she needed to get rid of the building headache.
Niru's eyes went up to the hole in the ceiling, as he let out a bit of an annoyed sigh. This was not the peaceful place of beauty it normally was, with all of this ruckus going on. He silently people-watched, sipping his hibiscus tea daintily, savoring it. He tried his best to find the beautiful things happening there. There seemed to be some flirting going on between a few of the Shinigami. Young love was a beautiful thing, and one that Niru had sadly been without. His looks could make him intimidating, as could his rank. He took another sip.
For the time being, nobody approached him. Niru did not mind the solitude. There was plenty to see in here.

XXXKit did not know what was wrong with her, things had never gotten this bad. She was never this clumsy before, and she was always so interested in her job that she never did the whole social thing. She pushed that line of thoughts down and sighed softly. She never kept in contact with friends or for sure more than friends. She loved books for hobby but she also tried learning as much as she could from books After this mess, she was not sure she would ever leave the squad again outside of work. She was too nervous to even look at Tsubaki. Kit snapped back from her thoughts as the strange Shinigami started speaking, as if the hole was not even that big of a deal. She felt her temper simmering under the surface, but she was trying not to embarrass her vice-captain any more than she already had. Of course, the moment he started talking she felt her temper flare up, her eyes narrowed as she chewed her inner cheek in hopes it would help her keep her cool. But he just had to keep talking and she snapped a little. ” First off I was falling before you crashed through the ceiling! And if I had not been falling, I might have reacted the same, she is just a good Shinigami prepared for any situation. And... and he is not my boyfriend you jerk! While my mishaps were not your fault the hole in the ceiling that startled some of us is your fault. Instead of being obnoxious you should apologize” She snapped, biting back the part where she wanted to point out only some of them had sense to react to the hole being created in the ceiling. Alcohol was the last thing that idiot needed she was sure. And of course, then he started flirting with the poor girl, she felt bad for her but at the same time hoped she would put him in his place.
Kit had hoped his cousin would be responsible and scold him for such behavior but instead he turned his attention to her. She flushed as she heard him say love birds and frantically shook her head to deny it. ” N-no its not... not like that! He is just being... nice... And kind. Like a gentleman, something some people should try” She said, denying the statement and both complimenting Osano and insulting the crasher in the same breath. When Kit saw his attention going to his sister, she cast a slight sympathetic look her way, those two men seemed like nothing but trouble and headaches. She felt for the poor woman but at least the attention might drift off from her. She shifted her attention back to the woman who introduced herself as Hibiki and sighed, she at least seemed to not fall for the idiot's advances. She wouldn’t mind knowing her, but she was sure none of them would want to know her after the mess she had caused.
Kit offered a slight smile as she heard Osano speaking again, accepting the help as she glanced away shyly. ” I promise I am not usually like this. I guess I am still adjusting, I have spent so much time hiding out with my nose in books. Some for enjoyment and others studies” She admitted with a slight smile. She felt weird yet happy at his remarks, she liked thinking she was a good person. ” I try to be kind... it is the right thing to do. I feel bad for causing this mess, well the tea and slip at least. Anyone who causing an accident or mess should take responsibility for it and offer to help” She told him. His words did make her face tint just slightly as she beamed at his tea choice. ” Oh, that is a good combination. When I want to relax or am having issues with sleep, I like Chamomile and lavender. Lavender is actually very good in desserts as well. Mint is a lovely scent and flavor. You have such a lovely favorite; I feel silly in comparison. I rather enjoy green tea with ginseng, sometimes with lemon or honey. “She admitted, she was actually enjoying talking about different teas. She noted he did not even really react to the idiot's remarks, she felt a little ashamed now. ” You are... more level headed than me it seems. Maybe everything... just boiled over. I beg pardon... seems you have been dragged into my mishaps even more” She said softly before turning bright red at his remark. Did that mean what it sounded like. She felt slightly panicked but tried to hide it. She cleared her throat as her face got even redder. ” Oh, I uh... I see... W-ell... maybe we could. I mean if... You want. Maybe... take the tea outside?” She offered in a small voice. She was going to make a fool of herself, she was sure of that. Something clicked in her mind as she felt more ashamed. ” Oh... I am so sorry. I am a dreadful mess today. Bad manners... I am Kitiara Amaris, third seat of squad nine. But uh... You...you can call me Kit... For short” She told him shyly.
Kit paused as she remembered her vice-captain and shot her an apologetic look. When she heard Tsubaki wanted to leave she looked panicked as she gave her a pleading look. She was torn now. Tsubaki wanted to get to know her more but she ended up caught up in this mess, however while moments ago she would have loved the excuse to escape she sort of wanted to stay. She did promise him tea and she wanted to clean up a little. She chewed on her bottom lip before looking back at Osano as she answered Tsubaki. ” If... it's alright I uh... kind of want to stay... for a while” She told her. ” That is if you still want to have tea? If not that is alright to”
Kreios continues to sit upon the chair he had pulled over, his free hand snatching a teacup off of a nearby table and then using a portion of his shirt to clean any thing that was inside or on it off. His golden eyes only shifting away from Hibiki once before he casually pops open the alcohol that had been handed over to him and pours it into the tea cup held in his other hand. Once the cup was about half full he holds it out to Hibiki with a grin spread across his features. "Well, how about a drink, My Darling Corps Commander? He asks casually while his gaze snaps towards Kit who had begun spouting out nonsense towards him for a few seconds now, definitely ruining the fine and friendly mood that this teahouse was surely going for. He simply remained silent while she went through her tantrum and even managed to drop the liquor bottle between himself and the back of the seat so he could snag another cup from nearby for himself. Once Kit was finished he chuckled lightly and leaned a little to the side to face her a little better. "Now, now. There is no reason to be so rowdy in here. Obnoxious? Jerk? Jealousy is a good look on you. Pull a chair up and have a drink with us. There's plenty of me to go around!" He says with a rather taunting grin, while shaking his head slowly and turning his attention towards Hibiki once again. "Sorry about her. She seemed to be more mild mannered then that, when I first arrived." Kreios says with a slow roll of his shoulders. "I am Kreios Mi. Main Head of the Mi family within the Hi clan. Captain of the Fifth Division in a couple days, but for now. Fifth Seat. Five and five make some interesting insignia conceptals after all." He says with a smile, while taking a sip of the alcohol he had just finished pouring for himself and slightly raising an eyebrow while glancing down at the bottle in his lap. He recognized the flavor, good stuff. "Non the less. It's my pleasure to meet you, Hibiki. Naturally I apologize for the entrance. That travel spell still has some kinks to work out. Yet thankfully it doesn't hurt living things anymore, just locations. Which as we know, in Soul Society, everything is rather easy to fix and replace." He says casually to her as he takes another sip of the liquor and then adds more to his own cup.

Tora's jaw drops as Tanji lets the cat out of the bag, so to speak. "!" an audible wordless noise escapes her voice box. It was all but a squeak and much like that by a surprised cat, fittingly enough for a beast person. "I-" she starts, "But ..." She looks at him in shock and then at Ikasu for his reaction, noting the mixture of emotions that he is barely keeping under control. "Tanji! You just let him know everything all at once! I was really hoping that we'd break it to him a bit more smoothly." She gently picks up Tsubaki and moves her a seat over so that she can sit on the opposite side of Tanji as her brother. "Well, you've heard it. Go on, Oniisama, I know you're going to say it." She silently hopes that he approves, though she did get the approval that she wanted most: her father agreed that Tanji is a fine choice and most suitable for her personality and temperament.
Ikasu sits there stunned, hearing everything that Tanji and Tora had to say. "But!" he begins with a stunned high pitched objection. "You're so young!" It then crosses his mind that it is his best friend who is planning on marrying his innocent little sister. "Tanji! My friend! You. My sister. You both?!" he sqawks at first and it evolves with each punctuation into a more pleasant surprise. "Wait. That means ... you'll be joining my family?! AMAZING!" He suddenly lunges forward and pulls both his little sister and his best friend into a big hug. All this while a confused Tsubaki is eating her pancakes that she managed to order while nobody was monitoring her. In fact everybody got a western breakfast for dinner because of her. She looks over at Niru and smiles brightly, "You look lonely, Oji-san! You should join us! I bet if my Uncle Hax were here he'd happily keep you company. Maybe I can keep you company. You're pretty by the way."

The sourness of lemon is a nice touch in many things, especially in beverages.” Osano’s tone subtly seems to shift, becoming a little more formal, but not in a very noticeable way. His expression doesn’t seem to change at all. When she comments on his level headedness, he leans over and whispers directly in her ear. “I don’t believe myself more level headed than you. Let us just say that I am more subtle at times in my actions and revenge. Just wait, I will ensure he gets what is coming to him.” He then stands up and replies to her next statement. “Tea outside sounds perfect. Somewhere a little more peaceful, where one can properly enjoy tea.” He casts a glance at the jug Kreios had placed in his lap. He ponders for a moment, then decides that he doesn’t think he could pull his plan off without being noticed. He will just have to wait until another time to act. It is then that he finally learns his conversation partner’s name. “If you wouldn’t mind, I would prefer to call you Kitiara-chan. I would hate to shorten such a lovely name.” He then hears her vice captain mention leaving, and feels a pang of disappointment until Kitiara mentions staying. This evokes a slight grin in Osano. “I would love to still have tea with you. I feel as if I am just beginning to get to know you. It is rare that I get to meet such an interesting person.” It is then that he receives the announcement going around Soul Society, and his hand drops to Susanoo while he waits to see how the rest of the tea house acts, while also keeping an eye on the two Hi Clan members in the tea house to see their reactions, subtly positioning himself between them and Kitiara. His face drops from the grin into one of deadly focus.

XXXXX A quite exhausted looking Tanji, silently wishes he could just go back to sleep as Tora and Ikasu react to what he had accidentally blurted out while he didn't realize Ikasu was right next to him. Despite all expectations about how poorly he would take the news of Tora dating, let alone of how he might react if he found out she were secretly dating long enough to be engaged, Ikasu unexpectedly ends up taking the news of Tanji's and Tora's engagement well enough to force the both of them into a group hug with him. Tanji then is about to tell Ikasu he is squeezing too hard when he is suddenly interrupted by an alarming announcement: the head of the Sanada clan was found assassinated after a meeting with a member of the Hi clan. Tanji then say to "Uhg, please tell me none of yall have anything to do with that, because I don't have the energy to be making any arrests right now." Tora and Ikasu as he pulls apart the group hug, then proceeds to look over at Kreios and continue with "And that includes you as well Mi, sense I was already letting you get off easy without an arrest for all this property destruction."
