Thirteen Petals
The night air feels nice. I believe I will go out tonight.

Abarai, I will most likely end up at the pond, should you need me. Otherwise, use the journals.

[OOC: Someone's going for a walk and possibly swimming~ Hit him up should anyone wanna action log/talk to him. <3]

Nice to meet you.

Nothing bad I assure you. He seems to admire you a great deal.

[ Was that an invitation to go and finally make amends? It takes Renji a full two hours before he even starts wandering over to the pond, either way. ]

[He is standing knee deep in the water, his hakama still tied about his waist but otherwise he has no other piece of clothing on. The night feels cool and the water is refreshing. He turns only slightly upon Renji's arrival.]

[ ...Why does he always do that? What's more, why is Renji always surprised by it?

...Also, Byakuya is shirtless. Renji has no idea why he notices, but he does anyway. ]


Kuchiki-taichou... [ The way he greets his Captain makes it sound as though he hadn't finished, but he doesn't say anything to end the sentence. ]

[ ...One of the 64702 reasons Renji resents Byakuya, that. A muscle in his jaw clenches and unclenches. His speech is very deliberate. ]

...Thank you for taking care of me while I recovered. [ He bows, deep. ]

[He blinks, not really expecting that. He nods his head in return nonetheless, not showing his surprise.]

I trust, in the future, you will not prolong your recovery should you be injured again?

[ Way to go, Bya-chan, look how awkward you've suddenly made this. Hurr. ]

Uh... Guess I'll stick around. [ Informal, then. Renji sits down in the water pretty much as is; he doesn't really care. ]

[ Renji watches Byakuya's fingers idly, without really noticing he's following them. ]

Ahhh, pretty well, I guess... I mean, I been running around, doin' a little training by myself, so yeah, I think I'm good.

Good. Then you will not oppose to a spar in a few days time?

[His fingers dipped into the water briefly before he lifted them away, watching the droplets idly. There was a run off just a few feet ahead of him, leading to a long deep end. He decided he would take a much longer dip once Renji answered his question.]

[ The idea of sparring with his captain has always, and will always, make his heart pound and his muscles tense. ]

'Course I won't oppose, taichou, you know that.

[ ...That was unexpected. He wants to spar with Byakuya, he always does, and he never turns him down, but... honestly, that was the last thing Renji ever expected to come out of Byakuya's mouth. ]

What do you mean 'these days'? We haven't spoken in over a week.

[Leans back to smooth his hair back with the water, squeezing it out shortly after.]

Nonetheless, after seeing what others have done because of this experiement, I am loathe to look at the journals now.
