Humming to herself cheerfully, her haori draped delicately over her shoulders and her shihakusho sleeves rolled up slightly, if anyone were to walk in they would be in awe at the sheer normalcy of everything. When the Shinigami of the Sereitei imagined the captains they mostly thought of nothing but paperwork and training. Though they were very real and true aspects of their everyday lives', it certainly wasn't the extent of it. Even someone like Maiko, who was seen as one of the more zealous captains, enjoyed a bout of peace and quiet. And on such a day, she decided that she would share a few moments with on of the very few people she actually enjoyed talking to. Because of her seeking of pure and total justice, many people sought it fit to fear her and it made conversation weary. Her vice-captain was certainly a special woman, one-of-a-kind.

She's laid-back, calm, easy to talk to which complimented the fact that people were afraid of Maiko, she had a temper, and was much more uptight. In the younger woman's presence she found herself able to smile and laugh without much of a care. Kimura was the perfect antithesis to the rather stoic captain and, admittedly, Maiko used her as a soothing agent from time-to-time. They hadn't known one another very long, a few missions here and there, and since her promotion was only a week ago they hadn't really established much of a captain and vice-captain relationship. In fact, she was merely basing the decision off the few times they had talked on missions.

The kettle whistled as she finished setting up the cups and cakes. She almost decided to go with finger sandwiches but she had to give into her sweet tooth. The cold winter air whistled outside as she tied her trailing hair up.

It was rare to see Ayame not dressed in black. Today was no different occasion – she chose to attend each item of her agenda in her customary shihakusho. She believed fully in formality and tradition, and disliked forsaking code; her mindset was domineered by a strict frivolity.

Being the convivial woman she was, when asked to meet with her Taichou on what she assumed would be more casual matters, she was delighted. In times of strife and hardship, it would be pleasant to clear her mind by spending some time in good company. As she had been told before, being inept at staying level-headed could result in one’s downfall.

Ayame arrived around the point of time the kettle whistled. The sound reminded her of scolding heat, and the thought was welcomed in times featuring such frigid weather. She wasn’t sure if the preparations had been complete – she was unsure if she had come to pre-emptively. Either way, her sweet tooth was allured by what she seen. Diligent as she was, she didn’t want to merely idle if there was something she could do. Henceforth, she coolly made her way over to her Captain.

“Hello, Maiko-taicho,” Ayame chimed, “Thank you for inviting me! Everything looks just lovely – you included, might I add.”

Her Vice-Captain was truly something to behold. She arrived exactly on time - not a minute late nor a minute early. On top of that she arrived with a certain wind about her, it was truly entertaining. She knew, slightly, of the woman's adverse love of sweets and tea was better when there were treats to be enjoyed. She had chosen an especially delectable tea, and one of her absolute favorites, in the form of orange with spice tea. She grew her very own oranges and had the spice imported from the real world whenever her sanseki had a chance to procure it. It was something that only seemed to calm the usually seething woman, and as such allowed her to exist in a jovial and completely subdued manner.

Her presence was interesting, to say the least, and it amused her. Pouring the two cups of tea, she sat down in her seat and sipped. Closing her eyes in enjoyment, she savored every drop even as it slid down her throat. She smiled as her Vice-Captain spoke, it was an enjoyable mixture of playfulness and respect. She addressed her with the proper honorific necessary, and then spoke almost in a flirtatious manner. It was calming and allowed her to further forget the stresses of Hinaai-sama disappearing and Sojiro naming himself the new Sotaicho.

"Why thank you, Ayame. Please sit and help yourself to the foods and the sugar if you'd like it in your tea." Despite how uptight she sounded, it was actually quite formal for her.

The brunette couldn’t help but admire her Captain since she met her. From what she deduced, their sense of morality seemed to go hand in hand, and to boot she was a generous person, given the hospitality she was providing at the moment. With all of the things happening as of late, the demise of her former Captain, all of the foreboding changes in their balancing organization’s hierarchy, moments like these were much like an eye of the storm, a period of calm and comfort, in all of the unsettling things happening around her. She was appreciative, to say the least.

As she watched her Captain pour the tea, she thought just how little she’d be able to stomach losing another Captain. Certainly this time around she could not be so inept to allow her superior to deal with threats of that nature alone – she simply just would not have it if she had a say in it. The only thing that could potentially stop her would be an order to refrain from intervening; her law-oriented mind always coerced her into following an order regardless of what it was. Ayame continued to genuinely maintain her smile as she listened to her superior speak.

Subsequent to the suggestion, she gladly took a seat. She prioritized the tea foremost, and helped herself to feeding a modest amount of sugar into her own cup of tea; a result of her sweet tooth. She picked it up and took a sip, and was visibly impressed by the vivid array of flavours that permeated through her tongue. Wed to the heat of the beverage, she considered it absolutely wonderful.

“Oh my,” she began, flecks of wonder in her ruby eyes, “This is absolutely perfect! It is not lacking in any aspect.” She really would have to ask for the recipe later on. “How are you doing, Maiko-taicho?”

Another thing about Ayame that amazed Maiko was the sheer intensity of her gaze. Many people had weak looking gazes and, to be quite frank, that disgusted her. But, even while she was lost in her thoughts, the woman had a strong and independent look about her. A faint smile found itself upon the young captain's lips, and they soon grew into a lopsided grin. After the death of Okewa and all the tragedy around the Sereitei, the 10^th Squad was especially depressed among the other squads. Losing one's captain, vice-captain, and then several other captains from around the other squads was depressing and lowered their moral.

And yet her vice-captain found the strength within her to remain her smile and her unique disposition. It warmed a spot within Maiko's heart, but one that she quickly weakened. She had to care for her vice-captain, but she wouldn't allow the feeling to grow too much. Comrades died and when they did they were replaced and doing so was justice for the deceased.

Grinning at her vice-captain who, after dousing her tea with sugar, complimented her on it she couldn't help but release a bubble of happiness in the form of a light and airy giggle. The woman never laughed, it was something that she denied herself in order to keep a more stoic disposition.

"Thank you Ayame. I'm...I'm getting through. With the traitors escaping the Soul Society, Okewa-san and Hatsumi-san's deaths, and then the whole business with the Sotaicho disappearing and being replaced at the same time. Hinaai-sama may not have been pursuing justice as she should've, however, to attack her in an ambush with two captain's breaks the law and was so disgraceful that the very act releases flames into my heart. They anger me. And you know our relation with flames is very well, but, this flame is...it's disgusting. The Sereitei, maybe even the Soul Society, is heading into a dark era much like long ago before peace was finally attained. What is your take on everything? You have my permission to speak freely." She crossed her ankles, after her harangue, and awaited the reactions and response from her subordinate. She didn't ask for her opinion often, but, when she did, it was clear that the stress was beginning to wear on her.

Ayame felt a knife of hurt for each dismantling event integrated into the conversation. Perceiving the flecks of melancholy that pooled within her dark eyes would be a simple task to anyone looking at her. She respectfully kept her eyes fixed upon her Captain for the entire elaboration and as expected displayed a thick amount of interest in the words spoken, refraining from interrupting with any of the thoughts that were building up within her mind. In conclusion, she found herself looking deplorably into her beverage.

"Truth be told, Maiko-taicho, I'm ashamed to be concealing myself under a composed pretense. Losing a Captain took a toll on me..." She bit her lip. Someone had advised she clear her mind, because getting trapped in a bad mindset would make her unfit for battle when it really mattered. Ayame didn't want to regurgitate that. That day she found the concept of another more cold perspective interesting, but it didn't appeal to her on much of an authentic level. "There's been so much going on—everything's been so difficult to digest. I have a fairly selective outlook on this: Through acts of defiance these traitors, the ones conducting this ambush, the offense is indictable. It's treason."

The brunette exhaled, momentarily looking upwards, as though she were pondering. "I feel as though every criminal who commits a crime thinks it's justified in some way, but unfortunately, the law was still broken, and I'm an avid believer that if law isn't upheld, there'll only be chaos. If nothing is done about these things, people will attain the notion that they can get away with heinous things."

A raw look of worry surfaced on her face as she looked to Maiko. "I sense that infighting is imminent, Maiko-taicho."

It never ceased to amaze her how composed her vice-captain could remain, even though her optics were pools of sorrow and despair. It made her heart swell to see her subordinate in so much woe, but there was not much she could do to soothe her. Words had finite lengths and once they wore out, they were nothing more than that. When she spoke it was like she was directly appealing to Maiko, but she knew better than that. This was the reason that Ayame above everyone else in the squad was her vice-captain. They shared a single ideal that rang high above everything else, and that commonground was something that overshadowed everything else. She closed her eyes and drank her tea, losing herself to her words and allowed them to envelope her and soothe her raging anger. She couldn't allow her officers to see her in such a manner, she was a pillar to support them - cracks or not, they just had to know that she would do anything for them.

"Very well spoken, Ayame. You're wise beyond your years, qualities I see in myself. And you do know what our job in this must be, then, right? The law is the law - it is the only thing in this world that is concrete. The circumstances mean nothing, and it seems as the punishment corps are staying out of this. As such, it is our job to punish the traitors. Their crimes are not justified, nor will they ever be, and it is unacceptable!" Her composure wavered slightly as she noted that her tea evaporated from her reiatsu boiling out. Taking a deep breath, she ran a hand through her hair to settle herself down.

"Infighting is something I wish to avoid. Ideally, I'd like for the captains to settle this without involving the rest of you...but ideals are just that; ideals."

There was nothing quite like the feeling of receiving praise from someone you admire. It was elevating and lifted spirits. It could raise morale and benefit a predicament greatly. I wasn’t trying to be wise; I was genuinely just trying to give my honest feedback. It caught me a little off-guard to garner such a compliment, and with any level of scrutiny anyone could distinguish the pleasant surprise surfacing on my face. I would have stammered a thank you in response, but I held my tongue and listened to Maiko-taicho speak.

Yes, it was always incredibly unnerving when a reiatsu of such vastitude flared to the point where it became palpable. But it was a glorious reiatsu to behold, no matter how much I may have been daunted by its abrupt presence. I didn’t like the feel of mine. Enforcing the law came at a price. Years ago on my way to Seireitei from some of the most infamous Districts, sometimes I cannot shake the horrors that have haunted me, the things that I had to do, the extremes I’ve been coerced into doing for the sake of maintaining that one concrete elements. And maybe that’s what made my aura taste so peacefully sickening.

“I remember,” I started, turning my gaze upwards. Maiko-taicho was trying to keep cool, so I couldn’t let my emotions get the better of me – especially while bringing up such a touchy subject of mine; a personal subject on my behalf. “I remember a time where there was anarchy. Murder, theft, wanton destruction, abuse, everything you could think of. Cemented upon a land hardly fit to support life, but I guess that’s appropriate for the undying,” pausing briefly, I continued. “It was just like this. Where others were negligent – no, where there was no law, I had to turn myself into an utensil who knew nothing but her purpose to uphold the law…”

Sometimes I wonder, who am I?

“If it truly does come to this, Maiko-taicho, I will be ready.”
