Rukia

Hmmm. I'm now running quite late.

I managed to buy Captain Ukitake's tea, but I also ended up with tea from both the Head Captain and Lieutenant Chojiro.

I'd best hurry back.

............

Rukia

I'm sorry that I'm so late.

Jushiro

Welcome back. You've certainly got quite the selection.

Rukia

Well, the only one I bought was your favourite, the Hagoromo tea.

These other two were given to me by the Head Captain and Lieutenant Chojiro.

Jushiro

Ah-hah, so that's why you were late.

Kiyone and Sentaro have fallen asleep, but it's not often that we have a chance like this. Shall we drink the teas you've brought back?

Rukia

Yes.

2. After the battle

Rukia

It's delicious.

Jushiro

Indeed it is. I suppose that's to be expected from such esteemed recommendations.

However, I think you should give yourself some credit for the brew.

Rukia

Oh, no... I... Thank you.

Jushiro

It's nice to take a chance on something other than my regular.

Rukia

*chuckle*

Jushiro

Oh? Is something funny?

Rukia

It was a long time ago now, but I remember Kaien saying something similar when he was served Hagoromo tea.

Kaien said that he didn't like sweet Gyokuro tea, and would prefer something more coarse.

Jushiro

He did, didn't he. Well, why don't you buy us some tea in line with his tastes next time?

Rukia

Of course.
