As I had feared, a third misfortune befell me.
[With a frown he decides that there is nothing more to be said about that

I believe things to have turned around now. The past couple weeks have been unusually quiet, so I have taken advantage of the time. Senbonzakura and I have continued training. This endeavor to strengthen the individual speed and accuracy of the petals in shikai and kageyoshi has been progressing well. I believe myself to be just over one third of the way to it's full potential. I hope to accomplish the remaining two thirds in under six years. Being able to accurately slice an enemy's vitals with only a few petals will be a most satisfactory accomplishment.
Although very strange, another positive thing happpened yesterday. Some sort of creature, I suppose I could call it a flying rat, invaded my home. After I shot it out of the air with byakurai it expelled a package of wasabi bath salts and a candy. Rather surprising, coming from Kurotsuchi-fukutaichou. Having been assured that it is not poisonous, I tried the salts this evening.
[He found it quite invigorating, but won't bother writing his feeling on it.]
Finally, Senbonzakura has shared with me some of his findings from talking to the zanpakutou. It has mostly brought more questions than answers -- not even that. There are still questions to be found to ask. Some research will be necessary.
[[ooc: Any other zanpakutou want to chat up Senbonzakura? ^.^]]
