Good Work Out There, Champ [Liana/Solhammond]

Sol listened to what she said with the rapture expected of a man hungry for progress. He understood well what she was saying, or at least he did. Knowing the difference between risking something for greater benefit versus simply pursuing it for the sake of danger. It caused him to crack a smile and brief chuckle as he nodded.

“Don’t shy away from danger, but don’t go causing problems without a good reason.” He’d reword in his own crude fashion, being a simply country bumpkin that he was. It may not perfectly be what she said, but it was his take away from it. And throughout the course of his development he wasn’t merely taking in what other said and accepting it wholesale, he was slowly developing his own view of the world. Defining and refining his goals in this world was important.

“Again, thank you Captain Unohana. I’ll remember this. With my graduation from the academy relatively soon, I feel more than equipped with the tools to succeed. It’s, kinda funny, how dying was one of the worst and best things to happen to me. Crazy how these things work out.”

“Well, Kido’s does have many things that are in my interests, as of late.”

He’d remark without missing much of a beat, his lips pulling back in a smile. Her comment and the look she gave certainly pushed him to seriously consider it, if only because training under her even more was becoming a quickly enjoyable idea. But there was also the fact he still held nominal membership in Seventh, on top of already considering his options for when he left. He was taking a shine to her, though.

“On a more serious note, I’m actually currently a member of the Seventh. Due to my unique enrollment, and fast tract, I’ve been interning with them.” He’d explain going a bit more into his personal history, something he was more inclined to open up about. He looks for the right words for a second. “I’ve been looking into other potential divisions, or paths. My current division hasn’t been fulfilling, but I’d be a little naive not to look into others.”

He wasn’t going to go indepth about his history if she wasn’t going to ask, but he left the door open should she wish to inquire about it.

“I’ll keep that in mind. I do think I’ll end up with some questions about Second in the near future.”

It was always good to keep doors open, particularly when it came to things like this. And having more of a chance to speak with Liana was something he was interested in too. But when it came to the long details of his unique situation his lips pursed for a moment as if in thought. It was such a long story that he had really had to think about where to begin, before he laughed shaking his head.

“It’s such a long story. I suppose if I tell you about my enrollment that will get more questions about how I ended up in THAT situation.” He’d muse to her as he turned his gaze from the hands in his lap to her, his lips turned upwards in a genuine smile. “No one has really asked me how I ended up here, I mean, in a personal way. I’d love to tell you about it.” There was a definite genuineness to his words, despite the mundane nature of it he felt touched in a strange way.

“I go fishing every now and again, it’s peaceful. Have you ever been? How about you come with me on a fishin’ trip. It be quiet, and all the time in the world to share with you that crazy story on how I died.”
