Is That The Real Rukia Kuchiki? [Hayden/Rukia]

Desmond was surprisingly the typical husband of the world, and that included sometimes surprising his wife with flowers at work. The reason for such a gesture was simply because he hadn't done so before, and with the stressors of the world- it was a nice little thing to do. He had just left her office, having given them to her with a kiss and a small chat. Of course not taking too much time from her work. Such was the nature of these two.

But as he the walked through the Seireitei wearing his old traditional robes, something of a fusion between his old garb and something he liked to distinguished him as someone not among their ranks. He got a few looks, mostly of those who recalled who he was, occassionally needing to stop to shake a few hands. The problems with being a modern 'icon' was that people often wanted to take your time. When in truth he didn't quite mind it, but such things seemed.. to make life harder. But it was worth it if he inspired even one person.

But what did catch his attention was a short black hair'd woman, before his eyes widened. As he rounded the corner he was greeted by a shorter than expected Rukia Kuchiki. One of THE Karakura Defenders! Wow! She was literally a hero back in his human life, and he immediately began to feel the need to greet her.

"Oh! Apologies!" The man would comment with some level of embarrassment, a sharp contrast to almost majestic aura of the king. The King of Vastime would offer a bow to her, still remembering some of the customs, to show his apology for nearly bumping into her before standing.

"Look at me, bumping into one of THE Karakura Defenders. Oh god, I'm making a fool of myself." The man would comment bringing a hand to his face, before chuckling. He'd remove his hand shaking his head.
