He listened to her talk about her mother and the food she'd serve. He'd been a poor child, well beyond poor. That story held a lot of baggage and bones. Today was a day of enjoying sweets and killing diets. So this wasn't the time for melodramatic pasts with long dark backstories

It was time for food that was bad for you in every way imaginable, but so good going down. "You're family are angels then, as a person from that status. I can't tell you what it means. It's like an angel reaches out to give you something beyond your reach."

He said commenting on the Dango, as he ate it and enjoyed some of his favorite food. The flavor of it was fantastic, nostalgic even for him. It took him to a place he so rarely got to venture. Those from his world didn't get much help or concern from the Gotei or the Nobles. The Kobayashi had only recently been able to start opening their doors again. So it wasn't as though they could do anything about his situation.

He and Old Man Damien were the last two of an entire family previously. He had reasons he joined the Kobayashi, they offered some medical help to the Old Man. Which was more than enough for him, but the benefits were grand.

Her scent filled his nostrils when she leaned over him, it was a moment too perfect for his life. But that was something he'd hold on to. Other dishes he ordered arrived in short order. Daifuku and Dorayaki being brought out, rice-like cake laid down. And a pancake filled with a sweet chocolate filling.

He'd need to work out extra hard in order to burn those off. That was then, this was now. He'd enjoy them and every taste to the fullest possible extent.

ATONEMENT FOR THY SINS

HIME TATSUMIYA

Hime smiled at his compliments about her family. It was such a grandiose compliment, to be compared to celestial beings in the sky.

Considering that he was her captain, she found the compliment to be as honorable as any other. Sweets filled the table in minutes as more baked goods were set before the two.

Hime was honestly left in awe by how good they smelled. She would certainly need to visit earth more often, if this is what they served. She showed her gratitude by bowering her head.

"Thank you for bringing me here, Yoshitsune-san."

ATONEMENT FOR THY SINS

HIME TATSUMIYA

Hime savored the tastes of her own sweets as they reached her table, observing Yoshitsune with a curious gaze. It was truly a joyous occasion to be within his company. Hime admired his passion and vision. He didn't look at any division member as just someone in the workforce - but as a member of a family, one he was building from the ground up. She could not help but note the humor of a combat division captain enjoying tranquil peace considering the past warriors who held the position.

"It is quite a refreshing feeling to know that our beloved combat division captain is one who can appreciate a day freed from the battlefield."

HIME

Hime smiled softly as she recalled the history of the captains that came before him. It was a pleasant experience to know the combat division captain didn't always wish to engage in violent spars that would lead them to the healing division or worse - death.

Though far from one to shy away from the battlefield if tasked with raising her blade, she viewed no merit in the life of a life wasted, even if past members reveled in that train of thought. The Kobayashi who sat beside her served as a pleasant reminder of her aims for the future.

She brought a piece of dango towards her mouth as she gazed at him.

"It seems my decision in choosing to join you was not a mistake, after all. Indeed, competition is welcomed in all aspects and encourages improvement - foolish pride, however, has spelled the death of many who've raised their sword in the name of the Gotei."

HIME

Hime listened with undivided intent as Yoshitsune spoke briefly spoke about the past and the climate of the Gotei. Even though she was far from a veteran, being Abalia's bodyguard allowed her to conduct as much research as she pleased; so as long as she did not step out of her boundaries or betray them, Hime could browse through any source of information she deemed helpful to the Gotei's cause. There was essential information and useless information in equal amounts.

She hadn't taken the time to properly indulge in reading through Yoshitsune's profile; he might as well be a mystery in terms of his own accomplishments. Even so, she preferred the hands-on experience of speaking to him over a wonderful array of sweets rather than sifting through second-hand information any day.

She brought another piece of dango towards his mouth as she smiled, her countenance as graceful as always.

"That is not a bad goal. It is my ardent desire to help guide the next generation as well, to encourage those who have lost their path like I once did - and lead them to greater heights than I ever achieved. There are a lot of lost souls within each division. Some believe they aren't strong, finding themselves to be weak or even useless. The strong find themselves unable to always be there to guide the weak and merely elevate to a place where the weak cannot reach them. True guidance only ever happens with the captains of the division and their guidance but..."

Hime would set the chopsticks down as she pointed her finger to the left side of her head.

"That doesn't lie solely on the captain's shoulders. There should be members who help their fellow men and tell them there's a way up. Yoshitsune... I wholeheartedly believe you have the right intentions. Otherwise, I doubt that I would have joined your division or the Kobayashi. I hope you can be the guiding light to your division, myself included."
