There was little thought put into what she did. She simply wished to shed herself of that bothersome hospital gown that reminded her of her lost and put on something else. It just so happened that she put on a uniform that made her look similar to every other person walking within the Gotei around her and her party. That mattered little though. Now, no eyes would move to her because of the outfits she wore. There’s no reason to notice the lone redhead. However, there is a reason to notice the large loud man next to her.

Of course he had to tease her about her time unconscious. He’s the one who caused it. She may have issued the challenge, but there was no need to nearly kill her even if she enjoyed the fight. Losing it is what has her peeved. And, now, there is little space for her to be a challenge for him. He has evolved, and she has been left behind. Some may see it as inspiration to grow as Arkin has. She sees it similarly, but it’s more of a grudge feeling than anything else. Then, he hits her with another low blow which caused her to shoot him quite the nasty look.

“You forgot my name?”

Her eyes trained on his face before he turned, and if looks could kill, he’d have been killed many times with no hope of recovery. She didn’t bother answering him looking to his back and admiring his axe. She wanted to lodge it into the back of his head. Well, slam the hammer side into him. Maybe that’ll job his memory. She told him her name the first time they met, and for him to acknowledge has as a warrior and not remember? A bonehead for sure.

She looked behind her at the quiet man who followed them. Did he have nothing to add to the conversation? Well, she guess this is fine. He did heal her up, so it’s only fair that he be given an invitation. Though, he didn’t seem as if he had wanted to come at first until his own stomach persuaded him. Elyss felt more curiosity about this man then she did Arkin anyhow. Maybe it’s because he helped her while the other didn’t. But, strength is strength, so Elyss still holds Arkin in a more… higher light in that sense. Well, the world is a colorful place. People are better than others at many different things. Elyss wonders if she could take Takehiko in a fight. Not now however. For now, she wants food.

“Bwah. It’s Elyss Kishimoto. The last time I’m ever saying it.”

She says stepping past Arkin into the noodle shop where she looks around. Back in Rukongai, huh? She had half a mind to go to the Tavern she worked at for a while and see how that old couple is holding up. She pushes that in the back of her mind for later.

He.. forgot her name.

The smile which seemed to adorned his face was instantly gone, as a look of confusion seemed to take it's place. It was followed by a frown as she stride'd past him as he stood there for a moment becoming totally consumed in his thoughts. It was one of those things which seemed uncharacteristic of Arkin and that was true; as one of his more glaring personality traits seemed to be rearing it's ugly head. Even in the most minor settings he felt immense pressure on his soul when he let down those he had grown to like, and this was not something so simple as a teasing in battle.

Thus in his eyes the level of her upset mood far weighed anything she felt before hand, as there was nothing jovial or lively about forgetting a friends name or face. Perhaps it was a minor thing in the grand scheme of the world, but it bothered him. As if there was some type of gnawing on his bones, an unpleasant sensation which he could not shake. This was evident from the frown which laced his bearded face, stepping inside into the noodle abode.

He'd let them decide where they sat, following behind them for the moment. The annoying thoughts of past actions racked his brain, causing him to shake his head forcing such things away. This was not the time for such behavior, he must set right what has happened. He'd not even bother picking up his menu, his order was already locked within his head.

"I am sorry, Elyss Kishimoto."

The way he spoke her name was deeply accented, the steady cadence of his thunderous voice was replaced by something else. Like the motion which was felt as waves rocked a boat. It was subtle and a contrast to before, as he leaned back in his chair legs spreading slightly as he rested an elbow on the arm rest. His head finding a resting place in his hand, allowing them to order as they pleased. For him, the shop had already knew that his order would consist of plenty of protein and ale.

But he'd speak once more, as they brought drinks for them.

"I have forgotten something about you. It will not happen again. Share your story with us, or do not. But food goes well with good stories."

Gotei Soldier

Takehiko Kuchiki
おだたつや

Entering in he smiled a bit listening to the conversation going on. Takehiko had come to the Rukongai before. He had treated people in these parts before. Missions among other memories from his days in the academy. A place where he'd floundered entirely his entire time there. Mostly because his skill set wasn't as educated there these days. His hands scooped up the menu pointing to a bowl of beef ramen noodles. Deciding he'd try them at the moment to refuel. He could see the changes in Arkin when he realized it. Almost like a big sad teddy bear which made him think about patting his back. But he decided against it as it was a bit too much for him. Takehiko wasn't someone that reached out and touched people. Just wasn't within his nature in that regard. He was a more reserved person than those he was with at the moment. Picking up some chopsticks he brought his hands together in a traditional Japanese manner. "So I know of Arkin, are you new?" He finally put a question out as he picked noodles up with his sticks.

Beginning to eat as he maintained eye contact. Eating his noodles in a rather professional way as he listened for her remark. He knew of Arkin mostly by the reputation of appearance. Guy did stand out a bit some people would have to admit. Takehiko, on the other hand, kept a rather unremarkable appearance in that sense. He didn't give off strong energy readings but what he did have was valued. Kaido skill a very skilled user at that field in his academy time. Though he'd made no attempt for it. Instead, he'd directed his efforts foolishly towards being a swordsman and Hoho specialist. Following a path that was familiar as his father had been skilled at that. Trying to emulate his parents and family members rather than his own course. Now that he'd started his own path he'd begun to grow as a person. But also as a member of the Gotei by large being trusted to treat people. Like her and others who came to him for such things. Though he maintained it he decided to ask them a question.

"Do either of you have a dream, a reason to grow stronger?" Takehiko directed this question to both of them. He knew his well and would stand by it no matter the dangers. He would become the healer who could save lives and protect people. He'd follow down the trail Unohana left here to bring back the practice of saving lives. Takehiko could fight, but he believed in preventing blood's flow. He wasn't quick to draw his sword these days anymore. Nor was he quick to anger or combative measures. He, in essence, had grown of it on his journey though he did know more would come. Growing up wasn't that easy as he continued eating keeping his chin dry. Food brought to him was eaten at a respectable pace. But one fact remained he did need this fuel to keep studying and growing. Nothing could be continued from nothing as he'd come to believe himself.
