[Though she's feeling a little ill and sore, her face does not reflect this. As usual, Retsu appears calm and at peace with the world around her; there's no reason for her to be otherwise.]An unexpected trip, it seems, and quite far from home. It's most unfortunate, but I shall adjust. Just as many others from home must have adjusted; I can feel

[He... actually looks surprised.]

Unohana-taichou.

[calm_tempest]

[She's good at getting rare reactions from people. Have a benign smile.]

Ah, Kuchiki-taichou. Though the circumstances are not what they should be, it is good to see you.

[Video]

[soul_scatter]

You are well?

[A momentary pause.]

What is the last you remember before appearing here?

[Video]

[calm_tempest]

I am indeed. [What's a little nausea and soreness? Nothing at all to her.]

I had just finished tending to those on the battlefield in the aftermath of our conflict with Aizen and the Espada. It was quite unexpected to instead remain in the Living World rather than exit the Senkaimon into Soul Society, I must say.

[That's right around the time he left. He pauses for a moment.]

If you have need, Hitsugaya-taichou and I have lodgings. We would be honored to host you.

[Video]

[calm_tempest]

The offer is appreciated, Kuchiki-taichou, but I would not wish to impose upon you.

[Video]

[soul_scatter]

[The smallest twitch of the lip.]

You would never be an imposition.

[Video]

[calm_tempest]

Nevertheless, I shall manage. I assume you must have been in this place for some time?

I have been here four months now. I arrived after stepping through the garganta from Hueco Mundo. [He doesn't mention the other taichous here. He knows her strong enough to sense them.]

I will help you as much as I am able.

[Video]

[calm_tempest]

[Oh, she notices them indeed. And notices the Espada, naturally.]

I see. So this place distorts time. And I notice it is not only the shinigami that are here from home. I hope there has not been cause for conflict.

Any assistance you are able to provide will be appreciated, Kuchiki-taichou.

There are plans in place should they become necessary.

[He's doing paperwork, as always, save this time it's papers to grade, instead of division or Kuchiki business.]

Though they have not, as of yet.

[Video]

[calm_tempest]

Of course. Though I would rather prefer matters not come to that.

[She has to smile at the pile of paperwork in front of him.] I see you've been managing to keep yourself occupied while here.

[Video]

[soul_scatter]

[His eyes tick upward to the camera and there is that twitch of the lips just ever so briefly once again, before he goes back to grading.]

I have taken a teaching position at one of the Universities here. It was something I find myself oddly suited to.

[Video]

[calm_tempest]

They are lucky to have you, I'm certain. [Privately, she's wondering how many of his female students are enamoured of him and how many of the students in general are terrified to cross him.] What is it that you teach?

[Video]

[soul_scatter]

[Why just the females? Why limit it so? As for terrified? Probably more than he'd ever admit. Especially since it would amuse him. He's a cuddly teddy bear!]

I teach Japanese Literature at Hawthorne University.

I am sure that the hospitals and clinics of the island can benefit from someone of your experience.
