Renji

Man, that is seriously tough!

Rukia

Nonsense! What's so tough about simply standing still and facing each other?!

Renji

I'm not good at being still or pointing a blade toward an ally!

Rukia

It's not like it suits me to point a blade towards an ally, either, because it doesn't at all!

Soul Pager

*beep* *beep* *beep*

Rukia

Yes, Rukia here. Yes? What, really?!

Renji

Who is it?

Rukia

That was Sir Kirinji! He just told me that my brother has recovered!

Tenjiro

That was quite a long bath. You're the first to soak in my hot spring this long.

How are you feeling after all that? I mean, it's really pretty hot in there. Did the heat go to your head at all?

Byakuya

No need to worry.

I'm aware my powers are too feeble for anything to go to my head.

Now that I've survived, I need to gain a power strong enough that I can let it go to my head.

Renji

No way! He recovered?! Oh, thank goodness. By the way, when did you guys exchange phone numbers?

Ichibe

Hah hah hah! Oh, my! You two've become quite chatty!

When you first got here, you two could barely move. You spent the entire time crouched on the floor. But just look at how far you've come!

What do you say? Do the two of you want to go and start training with me in the back room now?

Yes!
