Dravocn and Captain Kuro

It was a quiet and rainy day, the droplets hit the Seireitei concrete-esk floor tiles and roofs like a heavy and massively extended drum roll. The animals either pouting and hiding, or simply staring at the water puddles that the heavy was causing. The poor civilians just outside of the walls of the Seireitei had issues as their roads were becoming more like mud or simply just being trashier than they were before. The Shinigami and citizens would usually stand in the rain for gatherings but as there were none, most of them were indoors.

Dravocn, however, had decided to take a walk in this pouring rain, his every footstep drowned out by each raindrop, he was doing distance running, hoping to increase his speed. He ran around through the hallways where a small pink haired girl and a hulking man with the title of kenpachi used to get lost in. Slowly building his speed from three hundred miles per hour, trying to get faster, the rain making it difficult to turn, so he sometimes had close calls on either falling or hitting a wall. He built up faster to four hundred, trying hard to keep up his pace and almost praying to himself to have the endurance to keep going... science experiments aren't going to get him to as great power as those he'd seen, his captain being one of them. If he was going to ever find his sisters, he needed to have the speed and endurance to keep running.

Dravocn was glad that everyone was pretty much inside, he knew what he was going to do next, as his body would need time to recover before getting any stronger. He looked down to his blade and caressed the hilt gently as he ran before booking it at five hundred, chanting to himself in his mind.

'I'm going to get stronger, i'm going to get stronger, there isn't a place in hell i won't be known in, i'm going to get stronger.'

Dravocn took a deep breath and amped it up to six hundred, and he was losing energy quick, which only depressed and angered him, he needed to progress, so he dialed it down back to five hundred with a sigh and some regular deep breathing. At least his turning was getting better, how he almost stopped skidding on the water was a definite plus considering that this means he'll make sharp turns on a dime when the floor is dry. Dravocn continued his deep breathing, the rain was quickly followed by a loud boom and lightning, and as soon as Dravocn had seen the lightning, he wanted to harness the power for science, but even more so he was inspired to move faster, now chanting to himself in his mind.

'I am lightning, but a flash in your eyes before i'm gone. I am lightning, I will rip through space before you blink. I am lightning.'

Dravocn took a deep breath, stopped at a corner, turned and relaxed for a few moments to recuperate. He stared down the endless seeming hallway as it was a straight shot for quite a while and he made it a goal to get to the end within ten minutes, that's reasonable right? He wanted to get stronger, so he was in determination to push himself. He took a deep breath and darted toward the end of the hall, the rain pouring down on him and everything around him as he rushed faster, perhaps he'd need to do short distance running at higher speeds repeatedly in order to gain the stamina to do long distance running at higher speeds. He thought about it as he ran and took a breath again as he darted faster.

Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned they say, well, two things were interesting about that statement to Dravocn, one, he planned to replace woman with his own name and two, he wanted to if there was a specific woman in mind as based on the reality of demons and hell, an average woman on earth with no powers was unlikely to cause any damage much less have time to show any sort of fury. His thoughts started irritating him as he attempted to focus on his running, picking up the pace, deciding later he'd try to practice keeping his mind on a specific goal.

After a futile attempt at accomplishing his goal of getting down the hall within ten minutes, Dravocn frowned and stared behind him, tempted to run down in that direction to try to acomplish his goal again, though, he thought about it for a bit and figured it would be best to train with a much stronger person than he, and decided to go to his local shadow master of a different sector, as his own division leader was also the captain commander so asking for training from him would be too troublesome for the man he respected as a scientist.

Dravocn took a breath and smiled after a small time allotted to recuperate and walked to the door of Captain Kuro Okami's home and got on his knees behind the door and simply waited in silence under and poured on by rain.

Dravocn simply smiled as he felt the intense speed that he had expected from his friendly division captain, he smiled and stood up and thought for a few seconds before taking the papers and looking outside. He looked to Enko and smiled as she produced bag that surrounded the papers, stacked the papers neatly and the bag was created tied. Enko then created a small name tag like thing to be placed on the bag as a simplistic rotor was generated to send the bag to it's designated place. The name tag like thing said 'Sent by Dravocn Hecoro, 3rd seat of the 12th division, with love from Captain Kuro'.

Dravocn smiled at the captain as the messenger bag left with little to no problems as Drav was a seated officer, he could make sure the bag was delivered safely by the other shinigami in his division. He would have done it himself, but as it was raining, and he was wanting to train with Captain Kuro, who also seemed like he wanted to leave very badly, Dravocn wasn't about to let the man slip away despite not knowing that he was slipping away to begin with. Dravocn smiled at the man as he slowly recovered reishi from the utter relaxation of listening to the rain. Dravocn stood there to the Captain and waited for further orders.

"Is there anything else you need Captain Kuro of the thirteenth division?" he asked with his off-putting yet always plastered on his face smile, his hands behind his back and one clasped in the other, his feet straight but not locked, his void-like eyes bearing upon the captain without sending any threats... just more or less uncomfortable as he waited and watched the captain. He wanted to be trained so much that he just didn't pay attention to how his demeanor seemed... then again, he wasn't exactly skilled in social interaction in the first place.

Dravocn still smiled at the man, finding no qualms with the empty atmosphere between them, in fact he too that time to analyze the man's demeanor, stature, and actions, to get a good feel of the man he was going to train under for the day. His eyes followed the captain, his eyes unintentionally bearing down on him as the man's thoughts were causing him problems.

"Captain Kuro, you seem troubled, are you alright? Also, why are you going to the human world to slay hollows, it is not your division's designation to do so, unless things had been changed under my nose at least." he said with a smile and an attempt at teasing so as to cheer the disturbed man up, ignoring the pancake statement as that was what he based his first question off of. Dravocn looked to the milk and drank it, nutrition is part of training he guessed and shrugged, though currently he was more concerned with the captain's state than his training.

Dravocn watched the man concerned, though his face wouldn't show it as he smiled and his eyes still showed nothing but a void. It was surprisingly almost dead inside of his head, usually there would be voices in there arguing between each other about him or each other or even yelling at him. He gladly took this time to be thankful for the silence in his mind.
