Sixth Snowfall: Thou art all ice. Thy kindness freezes.

-ishiro!

[It seems someone dropped the PCD while training, because the only view is of a blue sky complete with fluffy blue clouds--and a giant pillar of ice. After a few seconds, the column shatters into glittering shards, tinkling faintly as they fall to the ground

Ah, thank you, that's very kind of you.

Light thi--

Oh! Do you mean kidou? Unohana-taichou is very good at those.

...If you don't mind the company.

[He's been out in the wastes a lot recently. It always seems to be more productive when someone else is around.]

[juiceboxtopped]

Of course not, captain, I'd be honored.

[He snorts, though it's soft, and nods. Time to get up and move out.]

[Hey, hey, she's just an un-ranked, un-seated shinigami. Getting to train with a captain not her own is a pretty cool thing

She'll just be out here, practicing kata]

I'd like that, Rukia. If you'll have me as sparring partner.

[juiceboxtopped]

Of course, Raven-san, you are quite welcome.

[feel_nevermore]

I'll be there shortly.

[It's not far from where she lives and flying makes it even quicker to get there.]

[Rukia is running through some easy kata while waiting for Raven--she's never seen the other woman fight, which means this will be even more interesting.]

[shiro_megane]

Perhaps I shall.

[Unless any Shinigami and/or Espada he doesn't get along with show up. It's still a bit difficult to wrap his head around how some people-- some Shinigami, even-- think well of Ulquiorra.]

[juiceboxtopped]

I look forward to it.

[It's not like she trusts Ulquiorra fully herself, but Orihime vouched for him when she was here, and that goes a long way for Rukia... But she still wouldn't be comfortable sparring with him probably.]

[shiro_megane]

[It makes a large difference to Ishida, however, that he saw Ulquiorra snap Kurosaki's neck and blow a hole in his chest. How Kurosaki managed to survive-- or come back, at least-- from that, is still somewhat stunning to him. But all the same, he knows that Inoue has a kinder heart than he does-- and he saw the look in her eyes as Ulquiorra faded to ashes before them. He knows she has it in her to forgive the Cuarta what he did, to her and Kurosaki. And while Ishida might be able to forgive what Ulquiorra did to him, he won't so easily forgive what the Arrancar did to his nakama.]

I'll see you soon, then.

offline?

[Some things Inoue never told her properly, and some things there's just nothing like seeing it for yourself... But it's not like she's forgiven him for things. She just realizes that a truce, however fragile, is probably the most prudent thing to uphold in a place like this, especially once ordered by one's captain.]

Understood.

[Rukia seems to have acquired an appreciative audience.]

OOOOOOOOOOH! That was pretty!

[juiceboxtopped]

[Rukia doesn't bother to hide her pleased smile from the adorable little girl.]

Thank you. Sode no Shirayuki is very pretty, isn't she?

Re: [video]

[hardcorecute]

[Bubbles nods eagerly.]

She was very pretty! [She doesn't really understand why the prettiness is a "she", but she's taking this nice lady's word for it.] What is Sode no Shira... Sheer... Shir... What is that?

[juiceboxtopped]

[askjda why is it so cute?]

Sode no Shirayuki is the name of the spirit who resides in my sword, and is my partner in fights.
