Kenji and Aoire, Match made in Tears. (JT, R, closed)

[Arantima Kawada]

The Steaming Hot springs, that was a good idea. Well at least Arantima's Muscles thought so as he thought about making a trip down to the bathhouse. What the Body wants the Body wants, and Arantima knew that not only did he want to but he would need it to soothe his aching muscles. He Fluttered his fingers through the air as he had been doing moments ago to command his swords, but recalled he had sealed his release away and chuckles to himself as he reaches out to grab hold of his blade and sheathe it physically. The way he had to manipulate his Released sword was interesting, at least to himself, but was tiring at his current level of understanding.

He wasted no time in heading down to the hot springs, The gathering spot for most off duty shinigami - even though Squad 10 was never truly off duty he had the available time for the moment to get a little bit of relaxation in. He Opened the doors and went to the changing rooms where he could leave his affects, but he deigned to keep his Zanpakuto with him. He wrapped a towel around his waist and went into the springs carrying his blade by the scabbard, calm and cool as a cucumber. He looked around at the mostly empty bathing area and chuckled.

He Strode out towards the water, stepping at the edge of it, taking his towel off and laying it length wise near the edge of the springs. He sunk down into the water, keeping his sword above it and when he was chest deep in he set his sword down on the towel. He rested there for a good measure of time, eyes closed and head back as he sat at the edge of the springs, just letting his muscles rest and start to heal with the gentle heat of the water.  He looked back to the His Sword and chuckled, shaking his head as if he had heard something.

"Yes i am working on that i told you already.. But these things take time, I do not fully trust that you are what you sayy you are either.. Not just yet.. But you are growing on me Ten-ten." When he says the name Ten-ten it is like he is teasing someone who isnt really there. But with the smirk on his face even though his eyes are closed it is like he knows that thy can hear him, they just cant do anything about it.

[Masaaki Kenji]

One, two, three, four Kenji thought to himself as he spun around the room as the quickly in time to the music, one pirouete into a ballet leap and back onto the floor gracefully as the music stopped. Perfect performance Kenji thought to himself with a grin as he stretched his muscles, feeling them pop in agony as Kenji let a small hiss of pain lose. When did his muscles cramp like that? Probably just because he had finished such an intense session. Well, everyone knew where the best place to replenish your muscles was... the hot springs of course!

Kenji actually felt excited to go to the boiling morning to relax and just vegetate as he let his muscles recover after such a tough day of training and dancing. After all, it's something that he just had to do, plus he wasn't exactly complaining! He walked towards the dressing room, quickly getting undressed and started to fold his clothes. However, when he looked down, he noticed the beautiful and bright flower tattooed onto his back and he winced instinctively. Everytime he looked at it, all he could was get flooded with emotions.

He quickly wrapped a towel round his waist and stepped towards the hot water. He couldn't help but notice that the Vice Captain that was sitting and apparently talking to his sword? How weird. He looked towards Arantima before working up the balls to speak to him. "Mind if I join you sir?" he asked before, removing his towel at the edge before slipping into the water and sighing deeply as he felt the hot water reguvinating him almost instantly.

[Arantima Kawada]

Arantima looked up at Masaaki only when he spoke, his eyes moved over Massaki's form slightly, more to ensure there was nothing odd about the man before simply nodding "Not at all, Relax all you like the springs are free." He gestures around to the mostly empty waters around them and chuckles before laying his head back and closing his eyes. "I am Arantima Aoire, Vice captain of Squad 10. A pleasure to meet you." His eyes are shut and he is smiling obviously just perfectly relaxed. But it is at this angle that the large Chest scar that runs from his clavicle to well below where the water obscures him can be seen.

He Sits like that for a moment before looking over at kenji and Tilting his head. He Stares for a solid thirty seconds almost before tsking and shaking his head as he leans back once again to try and relax. The body of water ripping slightly with the motions. He looked up at the sky a moment before looking back to Kenji and speaking, "I Generally try to not be nosy.. I really hate prying into peoples lives. But you seem troubled by something, I can always tell when someone is troubled even just a bit." He looks over at kenji now sidelong but not suspiciously, just curiously.

He reaches over behind himself and drags a trail of water down the flat of his zanpakuto's blade, almost absentmindedly. It stays perfectly centered there on the blade, despite the fact there is no Blood groove down the center of his blade. His Zanpakuto now that Kenji has a closer look at it, at its base is the standard seal for the Konso ritual. Arantima's spiritual pressure to kenji would feel like a Warm Golden light that is mixed with a Radial darkness that roots it to his core. He is like a living embodiment of Yin and yang, a Darkness wrapping and overtaking the light as the light moves through, and both are yet still ever present within him.
